Genesis Revealed

I firmly believe that the Islamic Jihad has been waged for 14 centuries with "timeouts" now and again.

The term Islamic moderate is an oxymoron. If anything, the Islamic clerics encourage and condone the most violent of excesses against infidels. Islam is gathering itself for an apocalyptic campaign against the Jews and Israel.

However, the Bible in Genesis, foretells of this campaign and its outcome. Genesis 16:12 speaking with reference to Ishmael:
"His (Ishmael) hand in everything, and everyone's hand against him."

We are witnessing the stage of "Ishmael's hand in everything". It seems as if Islam and terrorism are in the ascendancy everywhere. I would compare this period to the twentieth century during the late 30's and early 40's, when it seemed that the triumph of Nazism was a foregone conclusion and that the fate of the Jews was sealed.

However, in the end, "Everyone's hand against him (Ishmael)". I believe that there will come a terrorist action so stupendous and so vile that Israel, the US and even the pusillanimous Europeans will rise up and act in concert to once and for all destroy Islamic fundamentalism forever.
