Someone just forwarded me a short message that made me think about the role of the USA in the Middle East. I have not confirmed this source but here is what I was given (note the numbers on the paragraph chapter reference apparently taken from the Koran). Seems dubious at best but I also saw a double entendre at the end (an accident by the author?). In the phrase "...the Eagle cleansed the lands of
Allah" does the author mean cleansed lands owned by Allah or cleansed the lands of the Arab interpretation of God (Allah)?
It would be rather interesting for a book that many in the world think is a fabrication to contain its own prophecy about its own demise. Now that would be a clever way to impart some attention to itself and convert the unbelievers who might find cause for hope in this one verse against the inhuman lunacy that has been going on over there in God's name.
============
Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the
lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair
still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of
Allah; and there was peace.
