Note from Robin
Islam in America is wider, deeper and more diverse than ever in its history, and Muslims are poised to bring their faith, politics and culture into the mainstream of national life, Our children must be educated about the Muslims!
In The Islamic Antichrist, Joel Richardson breaks new ground with this devastating account of the possible connection between the
Biblical Antichrist and the Islamic Mahdi. The Bible predicts that in the last day,s a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the name of peace.
The Koran also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Koran is called the Mahdi, or Islam’s savior. However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Could it be possible that this is the same person?
Richardson’s stunning research and analysis suggest that it is. In The Islamic Antichrist, he exposes Western readers to the traditions of Islam and predicts that the end times may not be that far away. His book will stun readers who are unaware of the similarities
between the Antichrist and the ‘Islamic Jesus.’
This is the book I’m using to teach my 9 and 11 year old (well really me and then I water it down and added a ton geography lessons). We’re learning about Iran, Arab Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey now.
