ISLAM yes,
but specifically in the context of Daniel 11 & 12,
this structure, in this location!
Cut 'straight to the chase', on this page, here.
Firstly, lets set the context, by identifying what, in a Biblical sense, would constitute being an 'abomination' [to God], that would 'make desolate', as recorded by Daniel.
To many past, and present, Christian Bible students, the Bible, the whole of the Bible, speaks of, and lays out God's plan for mankind's spiritual redemption, 'the time of reformation'.
A plan culminating in the sacrifice of Jesus the Christ [the Messiah of Israel], as the Lamb of God.
Many Christian Bible students would recognise that the Temple sacrifice [and the previous desert Tabernacle sacrifice] as being a pattern [for atonement], which foretold [and was a confirmation] of the coming, of a final atonement for sin, ....that atonement sacrifice offering being Jesus, as the Lamb of God.
Hebrews
9:8
¶The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Hebrews 10:1
¶For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

ISLAM - denies that Jesus is the Christ ['Messiah']
Being in direct opposition to any spiritual redemption of mankind, ISLAM itself is an Antichrist which would make 'desolate' [make 'desolate' the heart of men], denying the redemptive act [atonement sacrifice] of God's son, Jesus the Christ, the Messiah.
God's spirit seeks a place of abode, in the heart of men [a concept spoken of throughout the O.T. bible], but God's spiritual presence within man, would be displaced by ISLAM's master.
And, aiding that end, the biblical Jesus [to all muslims] is debased, from [being revealed as] God's Christ ['Messiah'], to merely being Allah's prophet.
Here are a few Koran verses [there are more] debasing Jesus Christ, to a muslim prophet...
O People of the
Book!......Christ Jesus the
son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, ......so
believe in Allah and His messengers........Allah: Glory be to Him: (far
exalted is He) above having a son.....
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.171
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.171
To Him [Allah] is due the primal
origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath
no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of
all things.

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/006.qmt.html#006.101
The Jews call
'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of
Allah.....Allah's curse be on
them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!

And the Dome of the Rock itself, represents [symbolically] the usurpation by ISLAM, of God's holy place in the life of men.
1
Corinthians 3:16
¶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
¶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
The pre-eminent 'abomination' most clearly identified, and repeatedly warned against by the God of Israel, was that the children of Israel should not worship false God's.
Exodus 20:2
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God......
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God......
What could be more of an abomination to the God of Israel [the jealous God], than to set up a structure of worship to a false God [Allah, is not the God of Israel!!], a structure of false worship set up beside what was said to be Solomon's Temple site, the Temple site which was to be used by God's chosen people [Israel], [a place] to facilitate a 'pattern' for atonement for sin, through sacrifice?
But more than that!, the Dome of the Rock is a structure which in its essence [in the prominent inscriptions within its structure], actually DECLARES a denial of God's plan of atonement, and specifically denies Jesus personal validity, as the atonement sacrifice - for mankind, made by God.
Within the
Dome of the Rock is a large inscription in Arabic
that reads:
"God forbid that He should have a son."
That and
many
other teachings of Muhammad have turned
1/5th of the
world's
population away from the Savior of mankind:
. .
. .The Christians call Christ the Son of God. That
is a
saying from
their mouth. [In this] they but imitate what the
unbelievers
of old used to say. God's curse be upon them . ..
(Surat
at-taubah, 30).
So was
Muhammad the false prophet of Revelation 16:13? Of
course.
This isn't just a little "clash of cultures" over the words of
some minor
figure in world history. It is God and His Word on one
side and
Satan and his lies on the other, in a war that began in the
garden of
Eden. The declarations of Muhammad stand directly
against
what the God of Heaven says in the Bible:

The Dome of the Rock, and the Antichrist inscription placed prominently on the inside wall [placed at the time of its construction], underscores ISLAM's Antichrist position on earth.

All muslims already know, that in the chief pirate of ISLAM, there is a perfect example of conduct, for all muslims.
Allah said so [in the Koran],
"Ye
have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct)
for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages
much in the Praise of Allah."
Koran 33:21

But do all muslims also know that, he [the chief pirate of ISLAM] was a weeping ROCK kisser ! [aka 'idolater', a rock worshipper]
"-1-
One must begin tawaf (circumambulation)
with one's right shoulder uncovered, and the Ka'bah on one's left side,
while facing
the Black Stone, kissing it, if
possible, or touching it with one's hand, or pointing in its
direction, and saying, Bismillah wallahak baalla humma imanan bika wa
tasdiqan bikitabika wa wafa'an bi 'ahdika wa ittiba'an li sunnati

Comment,
Why did the chief pirate of
ISLAM do this,
....."Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses"
, around the Kaaba, and weep
for a Black
Rock?
And why was the chief pirate not stoned, for idolatry?
And why was the chief pirate not stoned, for idolatry?
Circumambulation - walking around in circles. [In ignorance of what it signifies]....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumambulation
....."Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) faced the Black Stone, touched it, and then placed his lips on it and wept for a long time."
.....Ibn 'Abbas that 'Umar bent down towards the Black Stone and said: "By Allah! I know that you are a mere stone, and if I had not seen my beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) kissing you and touching you I would have never done so." The Qur'an says: "You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct)."'
....'Ever since I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) doing this, I have never failed to do that.'
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/law/fiqhussunnah/fus5_76.html#5.74b
They did it because the chief pirate did it.
And the chief pirate was a man with a sword,
he killed people that he
did not like,
he killed people who
criticised him,
Clearly, many muslims are respecters of men [ ....fearers of men, and respecters of chief pirates!].
How do you spell, m-u-s-l-i-m ?.....

definition:
sycophant
/"sIk@fant/
· n. a toady; a servile flatterer.
– DERIVATIVES sycophancy n. sycophantic adj. sycophantically adv.
– ORIGIN C16 (denoting an informer): from Fr. sycophante, or via L. from Gk sukophantUs ‘informer’, from sukon ‘fig’ + phainein ‘to show’, perh. with ref. to making the insulting gesture of the ‘fig’ (sticking the thumb between two fingers) to informers.
Whereas, the God of the Old Testament Bible [the God of Israel] proclaims that he hates those who are 'respecters of men', those who in judgement, always favour the strong and often act unjustly towards the powerless [and 'the stranger'].
Malachi
3:5
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
Note.... God says that wicked people, "turn aside the stranger [the unbelievers] from his [the unbelievers] right".
God always declares we should do justly, to all men.
Micah
6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Note.... God says, "to do justly", he did not say, "to do justly to muslims, and be harsh with the unbelievers."
Compare Micah
6:8 [quoted above] with...
God made the sun to shine on muslims, and on non-muslims.
And didn't God make the rain to fall on all men?
But muslims make a distinction [in ethics] in law [in Sharia] between themselves and 'unbelievers'.
In effect one set of ethics apply to fellow muslims, and a total lack of ethical behaviour applies to the 'guilty' [i.e. the 'unbelievers'].
And what of justice?
What did the Holy One of Israel say concerning justice, laws, and the stranger, living among the Hebrews?
In many Old Testament verses God instructed the Hebrews NOT to oppress *strangers*, not to take away their rights under law [as is *mandated* in ISLAM, towards non-muslims in Sharia jurisdictions].
Deuteronomy
1:16
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, *and the stranger* that is with him.
Jeremiah 22:3
Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, *do no violence to the stranger*, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Jeremiah 9:24
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for *in these things* I delight, saith the LORD.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

All devout muslims today [in 2007] have been told by ISLAM, and by muslim clerics, that they are 'sanctified' by Allah, in their hatred of Israel.
Wrong.
God says in the Bible, that there are those among men, that call evil good, and good evil; who rob the righteous, of their righteousness.
Isaiah
5:20 , 23
.....Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The nation of Israel is now in a time of grace.
It is a time before Israel's own 'Pentecost' arrives [i believe].

¶Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
All muslims [who have a clean heart] should read, with an open heart, the whole of, Ezekiel 36 [to read it, follow the next link]...
"....and
the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I
shall be sanctified in you [Israel] before their eyes."
It is today 2007, and the period of Israel's punishment for their iniquity, is in the past.
The time of 'the separation' [the time of Israel being scattered 'among the nations' for their sins, as a nation], is at an end.
That time of 'separation' from God, for God's people, is at an end.
The end of that period of 'separation' from God, was signified [i believe] in the events of 1948.
".....I the LORD have spoken it,
and I will do it."

Ezekiel 36:36
This next verse was the witness, against the people of Israel,
Deuteronomy
4:26
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
And this next verse was the witness, that the LORD God will [nonetheless!] be 'sanctified' in the people of Israel,
Ezekiel
36:22
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

Today, is the time of grace for the nation of Israel.
Those who cannot recognise this TRUTH, cannot recognise it because of the darkness in their hearts.
Because of the darkness they themselves have allowed into their hearts.
And soon they who will fight against Israel, will fight against God himself!
Isaiah
26:5
¶For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

Calling all, 'Unbelievers' [muslims].
To all of my muslim brothers, i know that God truly loves you, and God would not see you 'wasted', in your hatred for your brother Israel.

¶The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

And know that we ourselves [in this flesh] are all partakers of that same spirit.

The people of Israel, were a people set apart - by the LORD God himself.
A people set apart to be, as an 'example', for us all, for the world of men.
And indeed they were!!!
And the Bible informs us that the nation of Israel, the tribe of people, Israel, have been 'afflicted' in the world, because they 'forgot' the covenant, that their fathers had made with their God.
But is not every man guilty of that [a rebellious, and proud nature], before God?
Isaiah
48:10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

And God's message to mankind ['spoken' to us, through the 'story' of the people of Israel], is that we are [all] the children of God and that God, has 'no pleasure in the death of the wicked'.
This life, here on this little planet, is only the start, and only a small portion of 'life'.
'Life' is that thing, towards which we all travel - which is, in another word, 'reality', or 'God'.
So, don't be dumb, and don't be wicked!
Choose to live.
Wickedness does not, it cannot!, abide with our God, a God who is righteous.
Can the darkness co-exist with the LIGHT?
To suggest such a thing is absurd.
And in the same way, wickedness cannot abide with our God, ....where there is LIGHT, the darkness must flee from, or be overwhelmed by the LIGHT.
Job
33:4
The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
And there can be no life [for us!!], in separation from our God - who is LIGHT, who is a spirit, and who is our life.
The people of Israel are God's 'portion', among the nations of mankind.
The ancient nation of ISRAEL [in their story, in their history] are intended to exemplify God's firstfruits , among all mankind.
The ancient nation of ISRAEL are a 'type', for all mankind [to observe].
To that end, the God of Israel rebuked Israel, in the times of Israel's sin.
And the people of Israel [in their 'journey' here] failed to be a 'righteous' people...
Ezekiel
33:10
¶Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Jeremiah
6:16
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
18 ¶Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

And here is a rebuke from the God of Israel to 'others', today, who 'hold tight' to a wickedness, in their heart...
I believe that this prophecy of Ezekiel 35 speaks for today, for another people, it is for a time when it is stated that, Israel's past iniquity against God has been 'settled', i.e. paid....
Ezekiel 35:1
¶Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their [Israel's] iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10 ¶Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
¶Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

Psalms
83:1
¶<<A Song or Psalm of Asaph.>> Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 ¶Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

In the Bible, it is recorded, that God said that he would use Israel, to be a vessel whereby he would bless all mankind.

¶Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And Israel [Jacob] was the branch of blessing, through Isaac, not Ishmael.¶Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

SATAN opposes God in this aim - the spiritual redemption of mankind.
But the [spiritual part of this] battle is already won, by God.
And now, at this time, SATAN is furious.
There is an English language saying that,
"Misery
loves company.".
And to this very day, SATAN is using [many others also, but principally] ISLAM to try to wreck God's plan.
SATAN is using ISLAM, to draw as many souls as he can, away from spiritual redemption.
How?
Like this!

Additionally, if a muslim says that he really believes that the ancient Jewish Bible is false [i.e. that it has been maliciously corrupted by Jews], does that same muslim also believe that the Dead Sea Scrolls are a Jewish archaeological fabrication too?
Because the content of the Dead Sea Scrolls have clearly validated today's version of the ancient Jewish Bible.
And that FACT should be of concern to every man or woman who still chooses to follow ISLAM, and its clerics.

A testimony from Walid Shoebat, an EX-Jihadi,
exploring his thoughts, about Israel, and the Dead Sea
Scrolls.
The muslim Jesus
Muslims have actually hijacked the historical figure of Jesus for themselves, describing Jesus as [simply] a muslim prophet.
To muslims, Jesus is not a Jewish messiah, Jesus is not the 'first-born' Son of God, Jesus did not die on a cross, Jesus was not crucified, Jesus was not resurrected by Allah.
But according to muslim tradition, Judas [by a 'slight of hand', how totally ISLAMIC! :-) ] was Jesus 'stand in' at the crucifixion, and the muslim Jesus was whisked away to heaven by Allah [without dying], at the end of his earthly ministry.
....and muslims believe this, because
the inerrant Koran
says that it
is so.
And i'm not kidding, muslims believe that the Koran, as their 'Bible', is the inerrant word of Allah.
And i'm not kidding, muslims believe that the Koran, as their 'Bible', is the inerrant word of Allah.
And according to muslim tradition the muslim Jesus [the one who is, 'NOT the Christ' ! ] will return at the end of time, to destroy all Christian worship [!!], and will help [through warfare and conquest - i.e. Jihad!] to establish ISLAM as the only religion on earth.
So that all the people of earth can freely [i.e. without non-muslim oppression] worship, '....Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.'
The only trouble with this scenario is that, also according to muslim tradition, at that time it will be a case of worship Allah, or, off with your head [the Christians heads too].
Hmmmm, 'The Religion of Peace'.
Can't you just feel the 'love' of ISLAM?
[See, A table of
comparison, between the traditional characterisation of Biblical
characters, and the ISLAMIC / Koranic characterisation of Biblical
characters.]
In so claiming [that Jesus was a muslim
prophet], ISLAM debases
Jesus pre-eminent Biblical
position, and
debases
Jesus self-declared role
as the
spiritual saviour of
mankind
[and Messiah of Israel].John
4:25
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

¶Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

You [as an individual], must choose what you want to believe, ....what is your desire to believe.
And this [our choice] is the 'burden' which is placed upon all, who come 'here'.
Because whatever is in our heart, will lead us, individually, to the place 'where we will be'.
To that place where we stand, spiritually.
And on this basis [of our own choice!], we will all be 'brought to account'.
So, choose.
Those men who [within their hearts] are willing [themselves] to follow ISLAM and that particular philosophy, are 'revealing themselves', spiritually.
Because of their own choices.
And ISLAM [which is in its 'ascendency' in the earth in these days], thereby also makes desolate any hope of God's redemption for mankind, for those people drawn to its wicked influence.
You choose.
And for those who think that they can deceive God himself, a warning....

3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Psalms 139:17
¶How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

IS THERE SOMEONE IN YOUR HEART?...
To our God, the heart of man is holy [or more properly, man needs to understand that it should be!], because the heart is the intended residence of God's spirit within man.
Interestingly, in recent years, medical science has discovered that there is a small amount of neural material ['brain' cells], in our hearts.
Yes, these cells are made up of the same material which makes up our brains.

SYMBOLICALLY (1)....
The Dome of the Rock [seemingly, identified by God as a prophetic symbol of ISLAM, see the evidence for this, lower on this page], seeks to assume God's place, on the site which was, in a previous age, the [symbolic] place of residence of God, on earth.
....the Temple of Solomon site, on
the temple mount in Jerusalem.
And the Dome of the Rock
now stands on that temple mount, being the previous
traditional Hebrew
Tabernacle site, God's traditional place of residence on earth!SYMBOLICALLY (2)....
ISLAM, [also] seeks to displace the worship of God, in the heart of men, with the worship of Allah.
To our LORD God, the heart of man should be a holy 'place', and reserved for the residence of God's holy spirit within us.

At times when we are listening [quietly],
...our God has always asked each man, that he should ask himself, 'What is in the heart of that man, what is it that a man [that each of us] will choose to 'embrace' [in this life]?'
And in this life, it is evident, that each man can [and does] choose this for himself - no matter his / her life circumstances.

And yet, in recognition of an 'internal' truth [and in an attempt to alleviate our separation from that which gives us life], some men have always been 'moved' to build temples.
Temples which then, symbolically men use to represent the place where their 'God' [and a symbolic connection to the true 'reality'] abides.
We have always done this [building temples], in an attempt, to bring the spiritual 'God' into the physical, ....and into the tangible world.
It is a pseudo acknowledgement [by man, in his physical manifestation on earth] of, the 'reality' of our God.
But is this temple building by man, rational behaviour?
Can we, mankind, bring God [who is a spirit], down to earth - summon a spirit, to our 'reality'?
Acts
7:44
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him an house.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
51 ¶Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Acts 17:24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Isaiah 26:9
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

Desecration
- How devout muslims
treat
the holy
places of non-muslims.
Allah is a false God.
"Satanic Verses is an expression coined by the historian Sir William Muir in reference to several verses allegedly delivered by Muhammad as part of the Qur'an and later retracted. Muslims refer to the delivery and retraction of the two verses as the Gharaniq incident...."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_Verses
"The disputed verses [those inconvenient verses, were removed from the 'inerrant' Koran] allow for prayers of intercession to be made to three Pagan Meccan goddesses: Allat, Uzza, and Manah.[12] ......As historian Daniel Pipes points out "Muslims know the omitted verses as the gharaniq ("birds") verses. Since the phrase "Satanic verses" is unknown in Islam, and the "verses" part of the title was translated into Arabic as ayat (which refers solely to the "verses of the Qur’an"), many Muslims took Rushdie’s title to refer to the whole of the Qur’an as being the work of the Devil." "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Verses_controversy
....comment, were these muslims mistaken??? perhaps they were being tempted again, ....by SATAN!
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Gharaniq+SATANIC+verses&btnG=Search&meta=
And what of the 'inerrant' Koran?
Muslims [who always insist that it is the Jewish and Christian Bibles that are corrupt], can never, never, never, ever, admit, that ISLAM / muslims, or the Koran are in error [and that the words of an unbeliever are TRUE].
For any muslim to openly make such a concession, would be to declare themselves 'Takfir'.
"....takfir or takfeer is the practice of
declaring unbeliever or kafir (pl. kuffār), an individual or a
group previously
considered Muslim."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takfir
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takfir
Devout muslims.
Such sad, sad, people!
And silly.
The muslim 'conviction', is that they can take 'heaven' by force!
"Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been
ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah,'...."

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/052.sbt.html#004.052.196
Indeed the response of muslims, when challenged by Popes, by cartoons, by all satire highlighting muslim absurdity, or when challenged by TRUTH, is invariably always the same...
'Allah
Akbar!! Kill the filthy Kuffar, and praise Allah, the Most
Gracious, Most Merciful.'
But what is new?
....muslims [starting with
their chief pirate] have
always called LIGHT, 'darkness', and
'darkness', LIGHT,
....and at every
opportunity have sought to murder all who opposed their death
cult.
Just like [for instance] Dutch Film director, Theo Van Gogh, who being critical of aspects of ISLAM, was murdered in broad daylight, in Holland.
The victim, Theo Van Gogh,
47, led an extraordinary
life. Theo was an out-
spoken and prominent Dutch film director, author, journalist, actor, and producer.
He was a staunch advocate of free speech....

And muslims declare to all 'unbelievers',
And these muslim doctrines of violence against non-muslims, expose another muslim absurdity.
At this time, i believe that men are all called, to worship the one true God.
But God calls for no man to bludgeon, or kill another man, for the sake of that other man's spiritual 'blindness'.
Psalms 7:11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Psalms 11:4
¶The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Isaiah 1:16
¶Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Corinthians 3:16
¶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
2 Thessalonians 2:3
¶Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

8:38
¶I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

¶The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 ¶And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

16:19
¶There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Isaiah
29:9
¶Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

......For this to be a pair of accidents
that each span 2500 years would be a stastical absurdity.
Blessedly there are many more problems that reinforce them. For
open eyes these problems aptly demonstrate that it wasn't until
after the dates of 1948 and 1967 had come to pass, and we
entered this - Daniel's - "time of the end", that we could understand the
solutions to these simple problems both mathematically and textually.
.....Isaac Newton, Matthew Henry and many of those before us understood that the book of Daniel, and by extension Revelation, would not be fully understood until the "time of the end".
.....Isaac Newton expressed it thus:
"This Prophecy is called the Revelation, with respect to the scripture of truth, which Daniel was commanded to shut up and seal, till the time of the end. Daniel sealed it until the time of the end; {Daniel 12:4, 9} and until that time comes, the Lamb is opening the seals:....
All which is as much as to say, that these Prophecies of Daniel and John should not be understood till the time of the end: .... But in the very end, the Prophecy should be so far interpreted as to convince many."
