    If you go back and take another look at the Koran, you will see that is does say there will be two huge waves. However what he left out is that the waves will be so huge that they will miss most of the east and west coast and just land on Dallas.

    wow...this has gotta be a record for how long it takes for a thread to get kicked over to D&D....almost 5 months.

    it took 5 posts late in a thread to do what not even Dak would do when the thread was fresh. :rolleyes:

    LOL! You guys are silly! This guy is not only a lunatic (he is trying to claim that he 'found' new information 'embedded' in the Koran, which seems to be full of **** and just an attempt to sell books), but he doesn't really sound that anti-American to begin with, he even says that wouldn't be a 'good
    thing for the world.

    Anyways, he's a wacko and seems to be more interested in getting attention and selling books, which he will probably do.

    As for taking 'digs' at the Koran for the crap this guy is making up, I can't believe some people would stoop that low (Chance and StupidMoniker?!! I expected better 'intellect' from you guys than to take this guy seriously. There is nothing in the Koran pointing to any type of 'prediction' of a specific date a nation would be destroyed by a tsunami).

    Some of you need to grow up...

    i dont think he can be called a scholar if hes counting the number of letters in the quran and deriving something like this. Especially since counting letters are not part of deciphering the quran. And more so, the quran that you see today is not in the order that it was revealed, so if he counted those numbers according to the way it was given to the prophet (pbuh) hed have a different verse...

    and more than that... i cant believe you guys take every peice of article so seriously without further research...

    i'm not surprised many of you took shots at the Quran from reading that article...but if some you actually took the time to read the Quran it might help you not hate so much.

    The Millerites tried to use specific verses from their holy book, the Bible, to predict the exat date for the end of the world. Several times. They sat on hilltops waiting for the end of the world. It never came. They were sad. Everybody laughed at them for their hubris.

    Look at the reference book at the bottom -

    Expecting Armageddon: Essential Readings in Failed Prophecy by Jon R. Stone.
