The false messiah has always been believed to hail from a European background. Discussions have been brought forth to suggest the fake messiah will hail from the Muslim community. Debates have been conducted vis-a-vis the coming of Antichrist across various sections of religious groups and platforms. The question that still raises a heated debate is, will the Antichrist be a Muslim?
A sub-section of Islamic community, the Shiite who are mainly located in Iraq, believes that twelve imams arose after the Imam. Imams are the spiritual leaders of Islamic communities who are also referred to as Prophets. Muhammad Al Mahdi was the twelfth Imam, was born 868 entered into a cave at the age 6 years while hiding from persecution and is believed to emerge back a time before the foretold judgment day.
A group of Christian scholars argue the anticipated Anti-christ will hail from the Islamic community. The claims are based on the book of Micah, where he foretells the invasion of Israel by the Assyrians. Micah refers to The Assyrians as the Antichrist. The scholars further indicate that he is portrayed as a leopard that has a mouth like that of lion and the feet like those of a bear in the book of revelation. Prophet Daniel describes the Medo-Persian empire to be leopard like.
Further discussions indicate that prophet Daniel foretells about a ram defeated by a goat, in his prophecy concerning empires. The goat was characteristic with a horn that was placed in between the eyes which denoted the Medo-Persian Empire. Scholars across the board are in agreement the horn referred to the Antiochus Epiphanes that was in power from the Alexander Empire. In Prophet Daniel foresights he states that the autocrat is the Antichrist.
With all this arguments brought forth, there is a section that argues that he will not be from the Islamic community. In book of Daniel, he prophesies that Antichrist will forge a peace agreement with the nation of Israel for a period of seven years. Daniel foretells that the fake messiah will rebuild the temple. The fake messiah can not be Muslim due to the hostility that has always existed among Christian and Muslims.
Another argument that disagrees that the fake messiah will not be a Muslim is based on Geographical location. The bible claims that the false messiah will emerge from the revived Roman Empire, which is likely to be among the nations of previous Roman Empire. The Roman Empire consisted of parts of Europe and parts of North Africa, yet its Europeans who have always led the Roman Empire rather than Muslims.
More indications points that the nation of Assyria referred in the book of Micah is not the Antichrist. The nation of Assyrian referred in the bible was Israels enemy at that time and God had promised the people of Israel to offer them protection from all kinds of enemies within the people of Israel and out of Israel.
The Assyrians being predominantly Christians further disagrees with the notion of him being Muslim. Most of Assyrians are located in Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Despite the fact that they are located in Islamic nations the Assyrians are over 90 per cent Christians further countering claiming that an Assyrian Antichrist would be an Islam.
