Next: Rome via Jerusalem?

Prophet Muhammed (s), prophecised many thing in his life time. Everyone of them came true. The Prophet predicted that the Muslims would open two cities, Constantinople and Rome. His companions asked which one would be opened first, he replied Constantinople (the capitol of the Roman empire's eastern leg).

800 years after his prophecy, the Muslims opened Constantinople in 1453 AD, after fighting for just 55 days under the leadership of Muhammed al Fateh, renamed it ISTANBOL (the city of Islam) in Turkey and ended the rule of Roman empire in the Mediterranean and N. Africa.

I believe his second half of the prophecy is about to come true if Israel attacks the Persians.
Here is why I think that:

In another Hadith (recorded in Abu Dauwood) the Prophet (s) said: A force of 36,000 Muslims will come from the Khurassan area and will invade Jerusalem and will continue towards Rome and they will be wearing "Black Turbans" and holding "Black Flags"

In the times of the Prophet (s) the Khurassan area included: NE of Iran, whole of present day Afghanistan and the northern lawless strip of Pakistan/Afghan border, current al-Qaida/Taliban breading grounds.
Most experts believe that, an Isreali attack on Iran will most certainly make the Persians tilt towards al-Qaida/Taliban extending a friendly hand to them to fight the "common enemy" Isreal.

Now a Hint: Ever seen the al-Qaida/Talebans wearing "Black Turbans" and holding "Black Flags"??
Scary? You Bet !

Israel's confrontation with Iran could be a Catastrophe, not only for Isreal but also for the West. I believe.
