                                   ince some present-day evangelicals misinter-
                                  pret the description of the antichrist in the
                                 Gospel they wrongly equate the system of the
                               antichrist with statements about Hazrat Mahdi

                           (the King Messiah), who Muslims and Jews are
             awaiting as a savior and who will bring peace to the world. Due to
             this extremely dangerous perspective, they seek to portray the fea-
             tures of the Mahdi - who will bring peace to the world - as features
             of the antichrist (surely the Mahdi is beyond that). For that reason,
             they are also suspicious of those who speak of such concepts as
             peace, love and brotherhood. There are enormous errors in this per-

             spread hatred across the world, even though that is nobody's desire.


                It is a violation of good conscience to

              declare a whole nation or society to be
                                    the antichrist


                 Evangelicals' Gospel-based description of the antichrist con-
             tains the claim that the reference to a savior who will bring peace ac-
             tually points to the antichrist. What this odd claim means is that
             whoever speaks of peace, love and friendship is a potential an-
             tichrist or supporter of the antichrist. This false perspective is a dan-
