Comment. Henry.
Walid is a former terrorist who has become a severe critic of Islam and presents a view of interpreting biblical prophecy through eastern eyes as a former Muslim. His thesis is the explanation of Islamic End-Times. He warns Westerners about the real threat of Islam especially for Jews and Christians and any other religion that is not Muslim. The agenda of Islam has not basically changed from the time of the militancy of Mohammed. We have here a resource of over 500 pages that uses scripture to present the case against Islam as a blasphemous religion.

Walid has a reputation among Anti-Christians that he wears as a “badge of honour”. (10) i.e. a bigot. He is graffic in describing his leftist American countrymen as Anti-Christian. Peace is very much available with Muslims on their terms. To refuse tolerance and compromise is to be labelled a bigot. When we sing “There’s no God like Jehovah” we affirm our bigotry.
“Islam is the religion of the Antichrist.” (25) There is nothing more anti-Christian than the Muslim creed; there is no God but Allah. The nations that God destroys in the end times are Muslim nations. Numerous references are given to support this claim. Israel is continually pressured by the West to release (Muslim) PLO terrorists. There will never be peace between Israel and the (Muslim) PLO.
Muslims believe that when the Mahid (the Muslim Messiah) arrives his rule will result in the destruction by violence of all opposition of those who oppose Islam. The Mahid is referred to in scripture as the Antichrist. “Christianity is Calvary. Islam is cavalry.” (53)
There are many similarities between the Antichrist and Mahid. Islam is revealed as a religion of deception and violence. It is fundamentally committed to the destruction of all non-Muslims and every non-Muslim faith, especially Jews and Christians.
Many O.T. prophecies are presented that support the claim that Christ will wage wars with Muslim nations. Christians will be involved in the battle for Jerusalem (against Islam). The nations referred to in Ezekiel 27-32 are Muslim nations. The Psalms contain references to Christ waring against an Islamic alliance.
A section of the book deals with Western misconceptions about biblical prophecy that arise out of what are described as incorrect interpretations. He defends his position by explaining his approach to symbolism and allegories. If the Anti-Christ comes out of Islam it gives a different (non-western) interpretation of many biblical prophecies.
The mystery of Babylon, the mother of harlots, is explained in terms of the Islamic connection. Turkey is revealed as the Anti-Christ nation. “The call for a unified Islamic coalition ruled by an Islamic dictator is now quickly becoming a reality.” (445) Muslims are the fastest growing religious group in the world. The ‘great apostasy’ prophecy that we find in scripture could easily be fulfilled by Islam. Islam had a great surge of converts in America since 9-11. The same could be said of other nations.
