I fear that you may be correct.
Even more disturbing, Islamic eschatological prophecies "mesh" very well with Christian eschatological prophecies - except that their messianic figures appear to correspond to the Beast and the False Prophet in Christian prophecies (!!), as well as the fact that these individuals will "wage war" against the Christians and the Jews, wiping both of them off the face of the earth (!!!). Sound familiar?
My prediction (based on Biblical prophecy), it will get worse. Much worse.
