text: would this scare you? this is not meant to disparage anyone, and the things i say about catholicism and islam are well documented.  the catholic church has a long and bloodied history of intolerance, where they have persectuted and killed people who do not accept their faith.  the islam religion is also one that requires their followers to ultimately kill any who do not convert to islam as they spread their religion.  one would think that these two entities would naturally come to battle, but what if a peacemaker reconciled these two religions into one cause?  would you recognize this person as the antichrist?  would he scare you?  would that combination of religions scare you? i see where you are going with this and it would fit scriptures.  since the ac will probably come from syria and would be backed by the european community.... the stage would be set.  i wonder what the fatal wound would entail.  something would have to weaken america to the point that we would not be an effective support to our allies (israel).
