Osama bin Laden, hidden away somewhere, directs worldwide terrorist operations against infidels. He has a seemingly endless army of Islamist followers. Likewise, the Iraqi Shi'ite rebel leader Muqtada al-Sadr calls his followers the al-Mahdi Army.
As the West has been forced to try to understand Islam, disturbing underlying tenets of the faith have come to light. Both moderate and exremist factions believe that in the end of days, Islam will be the only religion on earth.
Muslims expect the Mahdi, their messiah, to come out of hiding and bring Islamic rule to the world. --Who is the Mahdi?
--What can we expect when he reveals himself?
--What happened in the past when someone claiming to be the Mahdi arose?
This book provdes comparative insights between Judeo-Christian and Islamic doctrines concerning Messianic end times.
