A thorough analysis of the Koran reveals that the US will cease to exist in the year 2007, according to research published by Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi. The study, which has caught the attention of millions of Muslims worldwide, is based on in-depth interpretations of various verses in the Koran. It predicts that the US will be hit by a tsunami larger than that which recently struck southeast Asia.

This is freaking hysterical. Discuss amongst yourselves, but few things can this sort of belly laugh outta me.

I believe Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi also advocates that idiocy be declared a form of intellect.

If it's going to wipe out the entire lower 48, that's going to be one friggin' biga$$ tsunami.

I too have read the Koran and interpreted said passages, and Zaid's interpretation is unquestioningly wrong--i don't know what this guy was thinking. It really reads that Jacuzzis and inground ganite swimming pools will be all the rage in the US in 2007.

I'm gonna beat the rush, and put one in now, the kind with a waterfall that shoots both water and flames. I've seen one and they are fantastic. :thumb:

Not sure if the predictions are wrong or the thorough analysis of these books are wrong.

I'm sure I could count 231 verses from verse 1776 and find something in the Bible, too.

*This is for all religions and spiritual traditions*

Let the scriptures say what they say. Don't make them say what you want them to say!

Explaining his theory about the approaching extinction of the US, the scholar went on to analyze many numbers and letters mentioned in the Koran. He said a careful reading and analysis of words appearing in the Opening and Yusuf suras show that the US will exist for only 231 years.

How did he reach that number? Silwadi said that by combing a number of suras hinting at US sins he reached the numbers 1776 (the year the US achieved independence) and 231. He added the two numbers and the result was 2007, the year when the US is expected to disappear.

In his lengthy study, which is being circulated in many Muslim countries, Silwadi noted that the US has often been compared to a tree that grows very quickly and bears fruit, but has no roots.

In an attempt to find a reference to this metaphor in the Koran, Silwadi said he counted 1776 verses from the beginning of the Koran until he reached verse 26 of the Ibrahim Sura, which states: "And the parable of an evil word is as an evil tree pulled up from the earth's surface; it has no stability."
