They domineer over Muslims and want to be explicated as "top-notch" to the entire Muslim turf. All throughout and the following of, the 2012-2014 Syrian Civil War, ISIS has gone beyond the…

I have never been so nervous in my life, especially because it was my first time on an airplane. About 8 hours later we finally landed, we stepped out into the airport and chaos overwhelmed me. People were everywhere pushing, shoving, and yelling. Nothing was what I had expected it to be, the atmosphere was such fast moving, the people were not the minority of White British people…
importance than the major signs. Many of the minor signs of the Islamic end times parallel to that of Judaism’s beliefs.

Islam shall have wicked and worthless rulers and there shall be many great liars. Muhammad prophesied that homosexuality would become widely common as well as children born out of wedlock, fornication and adultery, a disproportion in the balance of…
Islam is one of the fastest growing religions behind Christianity and it is projected to surpass Christianity in the next few decades.
