There is a great deal of speculation about the end times. Frequent candidates are selected as embodying Biblical prophecy about an evil man who will exalt himself, including presidents and religious leaders. The Bible never says specifically who he is or where he will come from. It never refers to a muslim antichrist. All it says is that one day he will be revealed and that he will be known because he will proclaim himself as God.
Many Bible scholars today speculate that he will come from a confederacy of ten nations and they regard this as the European union. Some say that he has to be a Jew in order to claim to be the Messiah. During the 1940s many believed that Adolph Hitler embodied the beast. A large number of traditional Biblical interpreters believed that Islam was the antichrist and currently this view is being embraced once more.

Modern biblical interpreters tend to have discarded the theories of many past interpreters who firmly believed in an Islamic antichrist. Some say that this is a mistake and that they are looking at things from a Western point of view. This is allowing them to miss the many literal references to the destruction of Islamic nations on the return of the Messiah.
One of the arguments used to support an Islamic system as the beast is their denial of the Trinity. They do not regard Jesus as the son of God. Another argument is that they have a form of submission to God but they are not really submitting to Him and they will be destroyed on His return. Interestingly enough, the Muslims also say that there is to be a battle and the Israelites will be defeated.
It is interesting that not only Revelation but also the Koran speaks about a mark that will appear on the forehead. In Revelation it says that no-one is able to buy or sell without this mark. Some believe this is a literal mark and others regard this mark as allegorical, regarding it a declaration of what they believe.
The Bible actually never uses the name antichrist to describe this ruler in any end time prophecies. He is referred to by many other titles. He fights against those who resist his rule and establish total control, bringing about a form of peace and prosperity. Jesus and Paul predicted that this deceptive peace would be just before great destruction came from God.
One has to decide whether Islam is actually a religion of peace, or whether it has a peaceful facade by which many can be deceived. There are those who believe that targeting the Islamic system may actually help facilitate the rise of a European antichrist who will take over as the one who saved the world from Islam.

There is so much speculation about this issue and people can become extremely passionate about one theory or another. This is likely to continue as events in the world escalate and the end times seem to be drawing closer. We do not actually know for certain what is to come and that is why the speculation will continue.
