IMHO, the Antichrist is Islam.

IA that Islam will probably be the genesis of the system through with the Antichrist will arise. Twenty years ago I troubled over the "beheading" of the saints aspect of the tribulation. I thought, wow, beheading is so strange a way to deal with those who won't play along. Now it's not so strange since that's their MO in dealing with "infidels." Perhaps the 12th Imam is the one?

Like you I questioned the scripture references to be-headings. In my limited understanding it just didn't seem possible in the world I have known. But now we know how and the agenda of the Moslems and their political aspirations under “the veil” of religion. But I am not convinced the anti-Christ will be a Moslem....rather scripture does say he will rise out of Europe...and not that If the Islam population which has increased so there. But He will unite the religions and Islam will definitely be more than tolerated in those times.

I thought that barney was the antichrist. jk
