Christians Must Heed
Jesus

As a result of this dreadful expectation, rather than attempting
to eliminate war, conflict and disagreements, some evangelical Chris-

tians support policies that literally encourage bloodshed and even
incite war. They foolishly describe this savagery as birth pangs and
believe that they need to support that savagery for the coming of Je-
sus.
Yet these Christians are making a very great error. Armageddon
has already begun in the Middle East, and is still raging. The 2003
Iraq War was the beginning of this great war, known as Armageddon
in the Bible, a sign of the End Times described with all the relevant
portents in the hadiths and the Torah. Ever since that date the conflict
in the Middle East has been unending and Muslim blood has con-
stantly been shed, and is still being spilled today. The numbers of
Muslims martyred can be put in the millions, and the great majority
of Muslim countries are wracked by conflict, civil strife, turmoil and
terror. The Armageddon anticipated by the Evangelicals has there-
fore been raging in the Middle East since 2003. This war has been tak-
ing place over a long period of time. There is therefore no great war
that will occur in the future other than the one currently taking place
in the Middle East. The expectation of an even greater war in the fu-

ture is leading the Christians in question into a number of errors con-
cerning the Middle East.
The ironic part is that some Christians who seek to portray Mus-
lims as being in favor of war and slaughter and themselves as sup-
porting peace and love actually harbor such an excited expectation of
war. According to Islamic belief, however, it is the Muslim Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) who foretells that there will be no wars in the
time of the Mahdi (pbuh), who will appear immediately before the
coming of Jesus (pbuh) in the End Times and who will bring about
the global reign of Islamic moral values together with Jesus. In other
words, in stark contrast to global Christian propaganda, it is Islam
