It All Began in Afghanistan with Osama and will End at Armageddon!

When we were involved in the cold war with the Soviet Union we saw the Soviet Union alone as the only nation capable of dealing us any real harm, and we took every opportunity to deal them misery, and rightly so.
We dealt them great misery in Afghanistan by supplying the rebel terrorist guerillas with all sorts of weaponry. By hit and run terrorist attacks, the shooting down of Soviet aircraft with shoulder held missile launchers, with road bombs and anti-tank penetration missiles, Osama terrorist guerillas defeated the Soviet Union, and they withdrew from Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden’s victory over a major world power shocked the world. And it sparked the fire of Islamic jihad, terrorist guerilla warfare, as the only way to drive Israel and the foreign devil infidels out of the Arab lands. This success also gave the Palestinian terrorists assurance that intifada, which is little more than a form of terrorist guerilla warfare, would eventually drive Israel into the Sea, as the song goes, “with a little help from my friends.”
Although I utterly deplore what the
Islamic personalities are quoted as having stated in the extract which follows from the World Net Daily, I must admit they are telling it like it is, even though some of their hopes are overstated.

Al-Omar said the “Islamic nation now faces a great phase of jihad, unlike anything we knew 50 years ago.”
Fifty years ago, jihad was attributed only to a few individuals in Palestine, and in some other Muslims areas, he said, but “following the events of Afghanistan, the nation has embraced jihad. Young and old, men and women – everyone is talking about jihad.”
Some young Muslims today, however, because of their “love for jihad,” are getting involved in conflicts that are not properly jihad, he said, adding “all these minor battles, which took place in certain Muslim countries, only delay the victory.”
“This diverts the strife and calamity into the lands of the Muslims, instead of aiming them directly at the enemies,” he said.
In a June 13, 2004, interview with Al-Majd television, Al-‘Omar said “America is collapsing from within.”
“Where are America’s principles of justice and democracy?” he asked. ” … Is America now, with its reputation and status, the same America of 30 years ago – the source of hope for many people?”
Islam is “advancing according to a steady plan,” the sheik said, “to the point that tens of thousands of Muslims have joined the American army and Islam is the second largest religion in America.”
“Today,” he said, “America is defeated. I have no doubt, not even for a minute, that America is on its way to destruction.”
But the United States “will be destroyed gradually,” he said, requiring Muslims to be “patient.”
MEMRI recently reported Libyan Leader Moammar Gadhafi
declared in a speech aired on Al Jazeera that Islam will take over Europe without violent force within a few decades.
“We have 50 million Muslims in Europe,” Gadhafi said. “There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe – without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.”

I do not believe the rider on the white horse is Antichrist, but I do find it interesting that Islam is influencing Europe to the extent that it seems to have subdued it mentally by threats without launching any arrows from a bow, or missiles from a launcher.
I don’t think you have to wait a few decades for the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6 to subdue Europe.
Europe is so afraid of Islamic uprisings inside it that it looks like a cur dog running away with its tail between its legs. And the Pope is more sympathetic toward Islam than Israel. I don’t agree with Gadhafi. Islam is already in the process of conquering Europe by waving a bow without having any arrows and, by 2008, Iran won’t have to launch any of their missiles toward Europe to keep them at bay. They will keep them at bay when Islam attacks Israel by simply waving a few missile launchers in their hand.
Revelation 6:1,2 – And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
[2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering,
and to conquer.
