Friend,
I would like to present the following for your consideration when looking at this question. The Antichrist is going to be Muslim, but not just any Muslim. He will be a figure known as Imam al-Mahdi, whose descriptions in Hadith literature show a remarkable correspondence between the Antichrist and al-Mahdi. Here are a few references to get you started:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said. “The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).” Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 8. Book 73. Number 224
For comparison, here is a reference from Revelation,
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 9:11-16
These are just a few of the evidences that Islam will be the One-World religion, and that Shariah will be the NWO. I recommend following up, but before I go, here is one final point. In Zechariah 12, the prophet presents a vision of the end-time. In it, he states that the nations surrounding Israel will rise up against Israel and attempt to wipe Judah and Jerusalem from the earth. Note that the dominant religion in those countries is Islam, and that they will very nearly succeed.
Zechariah 12:1-9, “The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. 4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. 7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. 8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”
For comparison, Islamic literature makes similar statements regarding the end of times,
Sahih al-Bukhari 3593, “Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!'”
Sahih Muslim 2921, “Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him.”
Sahih Muslim 2922, “The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.”
Note that the PLO lists Sahih Muslim 2922 in their charter as justification for their pledge to drive all of the Jews into the sea. Note also that Imam al-Mahdi and Isa (their version of Jesus) will not come until the Muslims move against the Jews in a final cataclysmic battle.
