Hello Steve,

SA>Muslim Preacher on Temple Mount: Restore Worldwide Islamic Rule

SA>By Hillel Fendel

SA>Sheikh Ismail Nawahda, preaching to Moslem masses on the Temple Mount
SA>in Jerusalem on Friday, has brought it out into the open: the call to
SA>restore the Moslem Khalifate, or, "Genuine Islamic Rule."

SA>A plan for the "Return of the Khalifate" was published secretly in
SA>2002 by a group called "The Guiding Helper Foundation." The group
SA>explained that it wished to "give direction to the educated Muslim
SA>populace in its increasing interest in the establishment of Islam
SA>as a practical system of rule."

SA>This past Friday, Feb. 24, however, the plan went public. Sheikh
SA>Nawahda called publicly for the renewal of the Islamic Khalifate,
SA>which would "unite all the Moslems in the world against the
infidels."

SA>The Khalifate system features a leader, known as a Khalif, who heads
SA>worldwide Islam. Assisted by a ten-man council, his decisions are
SA>totally binding on all Moslems.

Sunni Muslims yearn for a Caliphate, that would rule the world.
Shiite Muslims yearn for the Mahdi, who would rule the world.

Of course, the Mahdi must first make his appearance, and battle
the Dajjal, in order to be worshipped.

The president of Iran said this event will occur within the next
two years.  Other Muslim leaders have also hinted that some world
changing event will occur within the next two years.

IOW, both Sunni and Shi'a are in agreement, that some world-changing
event will occur sometime within the next two years, that would somehow
unite all of the Muslim world as one.
