asalamu alikum,

i am not sure whether the concept of 'dajjal' (i.e. antichrist) is meant to be taken literally.

muhammad asad for instance gave a very interesting and rather convincing interpretation of the 'dajjal' [meaning "the deceptive one, the glittering"] as 'western materialism' and modern technological civilzation...taking it to be God.

one example: muhammad (pbuh) said that the 'dajjal' would be 'one-eyed' (blind on his left eye): looks only on one side of life-material progress- and is 'blind to' the spritual side.

sorry, i gotta go now, but would be happy to discuss further if anyone is interested....

salam

That's funny! When he attended ADL meeting after quoting his Bible - he said - I appologize to all Jews for making those stupid remarks. I should have know better - ADL hailed him as a great Christian scholar.

Several prophecies in the Bible point to the fact that the tribe of Dan will produce the Antichrist.  In the context of these prophecies - To suggest that the Antichrist will be a Jew (as confirmed by Rev. Pat Robertson in 2002) is likely to incur accusations of "anti-Semitism" from those who would like to conceal this fact. However, the truth stands out in this study.

Islamic view is not totally identical � but has several similarities.
