ISLAM:
Islamic
Rule Good for Christians, Jews, Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' Creator Says
<-
FEATURE!!!
Comment by John Terry of Revelation Files:
This is a disturbing (but eye-opening look) at the future plans of
world domination being planned by Islam. Their children are
being indoctrinated to take control of the earth and to establish a
global Islamic Caliphate (rule). If the people in Washington
DC have any lingering doubts as to the future plans of the so-called
“peaceful” Islamic nations like Iran and Syria, then this
article should serve as a wake-up call. Hitler used similar
tactics with the youth of Germany and in a very short season, raised
up an army that very nearly conquered the world. This time,
their army is global in scope and their zeal and commitment to their
cause is even greater, as it is an integral part of their religion
(not just an allegiance to a charismatic figure like Hitler). And
should a mystical figure soon rise to power, like the Mahdi (the
Islamic counterpart to the antichrist), Muslims around the globe
will rally by the millions to the cause of having Islam rule the
world, and opposing all who stand in the way of Islamic global
domination without hesitation. Why? When your religion teaches
that your own death (while perpetuating acts of violence against
your enemy) guarantees you a special place in “heaven”, then
followers are eager and willing to respond in great numbers.

"2007" by
Shelby Corbitt. Here's an excerpt:
The
rapture of the church (God's children) will happen during the SUMMER
OF 2007. This could be anytime from June 21-September 21. This means
Jesus Christ is going to appear in the eastern sky and call all His
children up to Heaven, leaving all the sinners and unbelievers
behind - this is not the end of the world - but it will be the
beginning of a terrible tribulation for those left behind. Rapture
is a Greek word that means caught up.
