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 section of researchers debate that the foretold false messiah will be a Muslim. In the book of Micah, a prophecy, where Assyria is invades the nation of Israel. The scholars furthermore refer to book of Daniel where he refers to false messiah resembling a leopard possessing the feet of a bear and mouth that resembles that of a lion. In the bible, Daniel does interpret the Medo-Persian Empire as a leopard.
Other Bible Scholars refer to the book of Daniel where he describes a vision about a succession of empires. Daniel describes a ram representing the Medo-Persian Empire which is trampled by a goat which had a unique horn between its eyes. They all are in agreement that the horn represents Antiochus Epiphanes who arose out of the Seleucid section of Alexanders empire.
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.
More evidence further claims that due to geographical location the fake messiah wont hail from the Islam community. Different facts point that the new Roman Empire will be among the old nations of the Roman Empire. These countries consist of some parts of Europe and North Africa. It is this fact that leads to argument that it has always been 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.
