A thorough analysis of the Koran reveals that the US will cease to exist in the year 2007, according to research published by Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi. The study, which has caught the attention of millions of Muslims worldwide, is based on in-depth interpretations of various verses in the Koran. It predicts that the US will be hit by a tsunami larger than that which recently struck southeast Asia "The tsunami waves are a minor rehearsal in comparison with what awaits the US in 2007," the researcher concluded in his study. "The Holy Koran warns against the Omnipotent Allah's force. A great sin will cause a huge flood in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans." Silwadi, who is from the village of Silwad near Ramallah – the home of Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal – is not a world-renowned scholar. He said he decided to publish the findings of his research "out of a sense of responsibility because what is about to happen is extremely shocking and frightening." His fear, he said, is that the world economy, which relies heavily on the US dollar, would be deeply affected by the collapse of the US. "It would be fair to say that the world would be better off with a US that is not a superpower and that does not take advantage of weak nations than a world where this country does not exist at all," he added."The world will certainly lose a lot if and when this disaster occurs because of the great services that American society has rendered to the economy, industry and science." Silwadi said his study of the Koran showed that the US would perish mainly because of its great sins against mankind, including the Native Americans and blacks. "As soon as the Europeans started arriving in the new world discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, they declared a war on the so-called Red Indians, the legitimate owners of the land," he wrote. "Then they began enslaving and humiliating Africans after kidnapping them from their countries and bringing them to America. Millions of blacks were brought to the US and treated with unprecedented harshness. Those who became ill during the journey were thrown overboard to feed the fish." Silwadi pointed out that the US continued to commit war crimes and "ethnic cleansing" against humanity by becoming the first country to use nuclear weapons during World War II. "International law penalizes such crimes," he said. "If these laws were not applied then, they are certainly implemented in heaven. If no one on earth is capable of punishing [the US], Allah was and remains able to do so. All these actions have been documented by Allah in a big archive called the Koran." Silwadi said he reached the conclusion that several suras (chapters) in the Koran that talk about punishment for those who perpetrate heinous sins actually refer to the US. As an example, he quotes in his study verse 40 of the Spider Sura, which states: "So each We [God] punished for his sin; of them was he on whom We sent down a violent storm, and of them was he whom the rumbling overtook, and of them was he whom We made to be swallowed up by the earth, and of them he whom We drowned; and it did not beseem Allah that He should be unjust to them, but they were unjust to their own souls." Drawing parallels between Pharaoh and the US, who share the same "sin" of arrogance and excessive pride, Silwadi noted that the Koran mentions at least 12 times the fact that Pharaoh was punished by drowning for his evil deeds. The Narrative Sura, he noted, clearly suggests that the US will drown in the sea: "And Firon [Pharaoh] said: O chiefs! I do not know of any god for you besides myself; therefore kindle a fire for me And he was unjustly proud in the land, he and his hosts, and they deemed that they would not be brought back to Us. So We caught hold of him and his hosts, then We cast them into the sea, and see how was the end of the unjust [verses 38-40]." Explaining his theory about the approaching extinction of the US, the scholar went on to analyze many numbers and letters mentioned in the Koran. He said a careful reading and analysis of words appearing in the Opening and Yusuf suras show that the US will exist for only 231 years. How did he reach that number? Silwadi said that by combing a number of suras hinting at US sins he reached the numbers 1776 (the year the US achieved independence) and 231. He added the two numbers and the result was 2007, the year when the US is expected to disappear. In his lengthy study, which is being circulated in many Muslim countries, Silwadi noted that the US has often been compared to a tree that grows very quickly and bears fruit, but has no roots. In an attempt to find a reference to this metaphor in the Koran, Silwadi said he counted 1776 verses from the beginning of the Koran until he reached verse 26 of the Ibrahim Sura, which states: "And the parable of an evil word is as an evil tree pulled up from the earth's surface; it has no stability."
Shht, where is Yao going to develop his post game and footwork then? He'll have to play in like the Turkish league or maybe Senegal
he's on some good crack. and i can assure you crack is forbidden in islam. ps: does he really believe he'll be better off if china is the super power?
Since the Koran says the US will cease to exist in 2007, and the Muslim faith is based on the infallibility of the Koran (unchanged since it's revelation to Mohammed, etc.) will all the Muslims pick a new religion when the US is still around in 2008?
Wrong forum buddy... if you wanna get flamed, at least do so in the debate and discussion of this bbs
Man... I thought my crazy Czech articles were obscure... A google of this article gave these links Jeruselem Post http://www.humanracewatch.com/ http://lonestartimes.com/index.php?p=423 The Jerusalem Post? Here's another scholar's prophesy... Isaac Newton predicted world would end in 2060 Associated Press Updated: Sun. Feb. 23 2003 4:12 PM ET JERUSALEM — Sir Isaac Newton predicted the world would come to an end 57 years from now, a TV network says, based on a document unearthed from a Jerusalem archive by a Canadian researcher. Newton's sombre prediction is part of the documentary Newton: The Dark Heretic. In a statement promoting the program, to be aired March 1, the British Broadcasting Corp. said it will show a handwritten Newton document predicting the end of the world in 2060, according to calculations he made based on the Bible. The BBC said the document was found in a Newton collection in the Jewish National Library in Jerusalem. Raphael Weiser, director of the library's manuscripts and archives department, said Sunday that Canadian academic Stephen Snobelen had worked extensively on its Newton collection and had brought a BBC camera crew with him, but Weiser said he had not seen whatever document the program intended to present as evidence. "They came here two months ago with a researcher from Nova Scotia," Weiser said Sunday. "He found in one of our folios this note and they are going to show it on their program." Snobelen, of the University of King's College in Halifax, could not be reached on Sunday. Weiser said he could not confirm the manuscript's contents or authenticity until it is revealed in the BBC film. "I didn't see it with my own eyes," he said. "When they show it on TV, we will see it." Newton, who died in 1727, won immortality for formulating the law of gravity, but he was also a theologian who wrote well over a million words on biblical subjects and was influenced by Hebrew scripture, according to academic articles on his work. The BBC statement said he studied the Bible for more than 50 years, trying to unravel what he believed were God's secret laws of the universe. The Israeli daily Maariv said the documents now in Jerusalem were discovered in England at the home of the Duke of Portsmouth and put on sale at the London auction house, Sotheby's, in 1930. The buyer, named by the paper as Abraham Yehuda, later donated the collection to the Jewish National Library, it said. Weiser said the library has never fully examined its wealth of Newton manuscripts. "We have thousands of volumes of Newton," he said. "We haven't researched it all."
Make that two (2) tsunamis.... if I have my geography correct. Isn't there a continent between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans?
Yes. Two tsunamis that head towards each other. Brilliant! (BTW, don't blame the Koran ... it's just one interpretation, just like Newton's of the Bible)
Hmmmm... nothing about MEXICO, eh...? YESSSS!!!! Now Mexico will be the reigning CONCACAF Soccer king without rivals! VIVA MEXICO, CABRONES! OR The Aztec Calendar must be wrong, then.
well.....if anyone was actually taking this seriously in here....it might end up there.... hell, it probably will anyway if Dak finds it and posts just the right thing hmmm...you know...this is one huge continent....how likely is it that a tidal wave could wipe out the entire country? Bloody unlikely.
