*** Afterward, Jesus will break all crosses, kill all pigs, and make Islam the worlds only religious faith. ***

Is "pigs" in this statement a reference to Christians and Jews? Islam sure is peaceful.

I don't know. It could mean that the world will be purified and therefore nothing which is unclean will remain. In sura 5 verse 60 the koran does speak of Allah turning people into pigs and swine.

Say: "Shall I inform you who will receive the worst chastisement from God? They who were condemned by God and on whom fell his wrath, and those who were turned to apes and swine, and those who worship the powers of evil. They are in the wors gradation and farthest away from the right path."

Here's a slightly different interpretation of the paragraph: since Islam is an epitome not only of peace, but of tolerance too, they'll need that many pigs to feast on celebrating the coming of their mahdi or what's-his-name in their mumbo-jumbo...
