Islam is not a race it is a religion!
The reason you are not worried about Islam is ignorance!
I think at this point we should just agree to disagree.
An ancient prophecy quotes Muhammad as saying Dabiq (near Aleppo in Syria) will be where Islam defeats Christendom (Sahih-Muslim, Vol. 4, Ch. 41, 1501). Yet, only within the last year has ISIS linked that prophecy to its territorial ambitions, and even launched a digital publication under that name. This monthly magazine, filled with images of blood and gore, is a major means of recruitment. Though most Muslims reject such claims, the apocalyptic emphasis in Islam is only second in importance to tawhid (monotheism).

There Will be Signs and Wonders
Several Qurâanic verses describe the dramatic events leading up to âThe Dayâ: âWhen the sun is folded up; when the stars fall, losing their luster (81:1-2); âWhen the oceans are suffered to burst forth; and when the graves are turned upside downâ (82:3-4); âWhat is the day of noise and clamor? ⊠It is a day whereon men will be like moths scattered about and the mountains like carded woolâ (56:4-6).
One Islamic website is entitled, â50 Signs of the Day of Judgment From the Words of Allah and His Messenger,â whereas a tradition mentions ten signs (Al-Muslim, Vol. 4, 1503f):
Thereupon he [Muhammad] said: âIt will not come until you see ten signs before and (in this connection) he made mention of the smoke, Dajal [Anti-Christ], the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of Jesus son of Mary (Allah be pleased with him), the Gog and Magog, and land-slidings in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire would burn forth from the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly.

There Will be Moral Decay
Moral conditions at that time will be at an all-time low: âNarrated Anas Allahâs Apostle said, âFrom among the portents of the Hour are the following: Religious knowledge will be taken away by the death of religious learned men; Religious ignorance will prevail; Drinking of Alcoholic drinks will be very common; There will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourseââ (Al-Muslim, Vol. 4, 1503-1504). And, âWomen will increase in number and men will decrease in number so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, 68). It is also said that musical instruments will precipitate much of the moral decay.

It Will be Terrifying
This is only one of many traditions describing the prevailing terror (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, 354).
Narrated Abu Huraira, Allahâs Apostle said: âThe people will sweat so profusely on the Day of Resurrection that their sweat will sink seventy cubits deep into the earth, and it will rise up till it reaches the peopleâs mouths and ears.â
If this isnât bad enough, the most terrible moment will be when each person is handed a book of deeds done on earth, and these are then weighed upon a scale. The final obstacle is a bridge to be crossedâfor al-Ghazaliâthe most frightful of all. He referred to it as âThe Traverse,â for it stretched over hell and was âsharper than a sword and thinner than a hair.â The saved would cross over and enter the gates of paradise but the damned would slip off and be caught by the âangels of hell with their hooks and grapples.â (Al-Ghazzali: The Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife, 205-206).

Hellfire and Brimstone
Some Qurâanic verses seem to suggest no one will escape hell: âAnd for this did He create them: and the Word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: âI will fill hell with jinns [spirits] and men all togetherâ (11:119). And, âNot one of you but will pass over it; this is with thy Lord, a decree which must be accomplishedâ(19:71). Moreover, the Hadith describes the extent to which people will suffer (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, 368-369):
Narrated An-Nu man bin Bashir: âI heard the Prophet saying, âThe least punished person of the hell fire on the Day of Resurrection will be a man under whose arch of the feet two smouldering embers will be placed, because of which his brain will boil just like Al-Mirajal (copper vessel) is boiling with water.â

Jesus has A Key Role
Muslim theologians often consider the return of Jesus to be the most significant event at that time (connected with eight of the fifty signs referred to above). When he returns he will slay the false Messiah (Anti-Christ, or dajjal), and establish peace and righteousness on earth. Qurâanic commentators usually link the this verse to Jesus: âAnd on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness against themâ (Qurâan, 4:159).
Al-Bukhari adds several other actions of Jesus (Vol. 3, 233-234) :
Narrated Abu Huraira, Allahâs Apostle said, âBy Him in whose hands my soul is, son of Mary, Jesus will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and will break the cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizyaâ (tax taken from the non-Muslims under the protection of the Muslim government).
For most Muslims, death and the grave speak of fear and uncertainty, whereas the Bible gives Christians ample assurance they can face the Judgment with confidence and hope. For example, âBut we know that when he appears, we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope purifies himself, just as he is pureâ (I John 3:2-3). We must, therefore, lovingly tell our Muslim friends that faith in Jesus as the crucified, risen and coming Messiah makes all the difference in this worldâand the world to come.
