Yes, this is believable.

 Great Babylon: The Cry of the Watchman - Homepage - a short book

 Allah and the Real-World-Order
 The White Horseman of the Apocalypse
 Turkey and the Beast

Above are all the links by the author.  I have read everything I can find by him.  He has some fascinating concepts from history which should seriously adjust ideas people have about who the two beasts are.  He indicates that Great Babylon has been set up for an ambush.  Great Babylon obviously is America.  I disagree with his contention that Russia is insignificant.  Rather, the following two are Must Read links  Right click on our homepage for more d/v.  I've added more.

From Turkey and the Beast, the author cites the empires are:
1. Egypt
2. Assyria
3. Babylon
4. Media-Persia
5. Macedonia/Graeca (Greece)
6. Rome
7. Islam
8. Islam Revived (the beast of Revelation 17)
Which I would revise to:
The empires are:
1. Egypt
2. Assyria
3. Judean
4. Babylon
5. Media-Persia
6. Macedonia/Graeca (Greece)
7. Rome (current empire when John wrote Revelation)
8. Islam (Babylon Revived, the beast of Revelation 17
I think this is a better fit because John said:
...because he once was, now is not, and yet will come. Rev 17:8b
and John said 'now is not' when Rome was the empire, hence the 8th king needed to have existed prior to John's day, not during John's day, and (perhaps Isalm fulfills prophecy) existing again after John's day. Casting Islam, as the 7th king and again revived as the 8th king, does not meet the criteria of scripture that the revived kingdom existed prior to John's day.

Further, I believe the Babylon in Revelation is Babylon, and not Rome, or the RCC, etc. The above fits with a more straight forward reading of scripture, hence to me is a 'better fit'. As Judea controlled the promised land when it was the empire, that does not conflict with the authors criteria either.

That said, much of what the author writes is geopolitical speculation, which bears further scrutiny. But I've always liked Islam as one of the end-time key players, though I tend to suspect Islam as "The Whore of Babylon" as I've previously posted here.
