The false messiah has always been believed to hail from a European background. Discussions have been brought forth to suggest the fake messiah will hail from the Muslim community. Debates have been conducted vis-a-vis the coming of Antichrist across various sections of religious groups and platforms. The question that still raises a heated debate is, will the Antichrist be a Muslim?
According to a section of Islamic community, the Shiite, who are highly populated in Iraq, believe that there have been twelve prophets who came after Prophet Mohamed. The prophets who are referred to as Imams are the spiritual leaders of the Islamic community. The twelfth Imam was called Muhammad Al Mahdi born around 868, who entered a cave while aged six years to hide from a time where persecution was rampant and will return from the cave just before the judgment day.
A section of researchers debate that the foretold false messiah will be a Muslim. In the book of Micah, a prophecy, where Assyria is invades the nation of Israel. The scholars furthermore refer to book of Daniel where he refers to false messiah resembling a leopard possessing the feet of a bear and mouth that resembles that of a lion. In the bible, Daniel does interpret the Medo-Persian Empire as a leopard.
Other Bible Scholars refer to the book of Daniel where he describes a vision about a succession of empires. Daniel describes a ram representing the Medo-Persian Empire which is trampled by a goat which had a unique horn between its eyes. They all are in agreement that the horn represents Antiochus Epiphanes who arose out of the Seleucid section of Alexanders empire.
Despite all this arguments, there are also claims that the false messiah is not going to be from Islamic Religion. Prophet Daniel speaks about a peace agreement between the fake messiah and Israel for duration of seven years. Prophet Daniel goes on and prophesies about the recreation of the temple by the Antichrist. Further evidence further points the fake messiah will not be Islam due to the hostile nature between Christian community and the Islamic community.
Some scholars further claim that he is not going to be a Muslim due to Geographic locality. According to the bible the anticipated Antichrist is going to emerge from the new Roman Empire, which will be in the countries where the former Roman Empire was located. Sections of Europe and some parts of Africa made part of the Roman Empire yet Europeans have led the Empire and not Muslims.
More indications points that the nation of Assyria referred in the book of Micah is not the Antichrist. The nation of Assyrian referred in the bible was Israels enemy at that time and God had promised the people of Israel to offer them protection from all kinds of enemies within the people of Israel and out of Israel.
Also the Assyrians are mostly Christians further countering the implication of a Muslim Antichrist. Huge populations of Assyrians are mostly found in the countries of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Even with them living in Islamic nations they are mostly Christians. This further reduces the claims of the false messiah being a Muslim.
