The Masih al-Dajjal, or false messiah -- i.e., Antichrist -- is a figure from Islamic eschatology, and yet another excuse for Muhammad, and thus Muslims after him who revere him as the excellent example of conduct, to calumniate Jews. "Egyptian Sheikh: 'The (Anti-Christ) Will Come Forth from a Jewish Woman of (Iran) Followed by Seventy Thousand Jews,'" from Translating Jihad, February 28:
[...] Mahmoud al-Masry: Out of Mercy the Prophet Warned Us of the "Anti-Christ"
by Iman al-Khashab
Moheet, 18 February 2010[...] Sheikh Mahmoud al-Masry said: The name "Dajjal" is taken from the word al-dajl, which means falsehood, and it is the name of the person that will appear in the last days claiming to be divine. He will work miracles to maximize the fitna (i.e. sedition, discord) among men. His emergence causes men to tremble and doubt their beliefs, and men will be divided...
* * *
..."infidel" is written between his eyes, and every believer, literate or illiterate, will be able to read it.
* * *
...the evidence shows that he (the anti-Christ) will emerge from the east, specifically from the province of Khurasan, which today is the country of Iran.
Anas said: The Prophet of Allah said: "The Dajjal will come forth from a Jewish woman of Esfahan (Iran), followed by seventy thousand Jews wearing Persian shawls." From 'A'isha is transmitted the saying of the Prophet: "He will come forth from a Jewish woman of Esfahan."
Then is come this fitna (sedition) which is the largest fitna since the creation of Adam until that hour, unto the ends of the Earth, and it will appear to permeate the land. For the time will come that no city will remain but that the Dajjal will enter it except Mecca and Medina and the al-Aqsa mosque and the mosque of Sinai.
Abu Huraira transmitted from the Prophet: "The one-eyed Dajjal, the false messiah, will come from the east in a time of discord and factions among the people, and will remain in the land forty days, Allah-willing, Allah knows the number, Allah knows the number, twice."
Hafiz ibn Hajar said: "When will he be destroyed and who will kill him? He will be destroyed after he has appeared in all the earth except Mecca and Medina, then he will go to the holy house (Jerusalem) and 'Isa (Muslim name for Jesus) will descend and kill him." This was also narrated by Muslim.
Then Sheikh Mahmoud al-Masry spoke clearly about who are the followers of the anti-Christ:
We find that the kuffar (infidels) generally are the people most led astray by him and by the miracles Allah shows by his hand, and the Jews especially, for seventy thousand Jews will follow him. Also many Muslims will be led astray by the miracles which are done by his hand, and especially the Muslim masses and the ignorant among the bedouin, the women and the young....
Said it before and will say it again. Islam is as anti-Semitic as Nazism. In fact, it's difficult not to look at Muslims as spiritual Nazis, including the so-called moderate Muslims who function as the equivalent of the bulk of the German people who accepted Hitler without even a murmur.
Seventy thousand?? Whoever is making shawls over there better get busy.
Islam is rooted in foolishness through and through. The false prophet is to come from a Jewish woman living in Iran, so we are told. But Jews are being methodically excluded from Islamic societies, whether existing as a country (such as Iran) or as one of Europe's no-go zones.
How then will this happen?
"For the time will come that no city will remain but that the Dajjal will enter it except Mecca and Medina and the al-Aqsa mosque and the mosque of Sinai."
Which is the "mosque of Sinai"? Was this another way, that never quite got off the ground, of appropriating St. Catherine's Monastery (The Sacred and Imperial Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount of Sinai), which was already in existence, having been completed in about 565, that is about 65 years before Muhammad got things going? If you are going to appropriate the Jewish Temple Mount, why not appropriate the most important Christian site you can find, one built on the orders of the Emperor Justinian himself?
Wasn't Ahmedinejad's mum jewish or something like that?
Speaking of whom, he's still waiting for the mahdi to show up. Reminds me of that old song 'Where's your Mahdi gone?'
Oh, here we go. Another reason (as if they needed another) to help them justify the killing of Jews in Iran . . . or anywhere else in case the Jews outside Iran might sneak into Iran.
. . . cause . . . ya never know . . .
/sarc off
Gracious! An infidel would be kept busy for a lifetime picking apart and mocking this utter nonsense believed to be "divine."
But don't worry. Our faithful (and brainwashed) zombie witch doctor Sheikh Mahmoud al-Masry has done some of the work for us:
As in:

Then we get this blatant plagiarism from the Old and New Testaments:
Forty days? Wonder how Mo pulled that value out of sand-filled a$$?
Yeah, yeah. Allen might have known the number (The Number of the Beast), but old Mo was too dumb to actual read the Christian text to find out what that number is.
Better yet, the 9th and 10th century compilers and editors of the orginal Korant were too stupid to understand the whole doctrine and find out what it meant.
Next time I have a conversation with a zombie, I'm going to ask him about this. And then promptly put it on the spot!
Too much fun!!!

"Seventy thousand?? Whoever is making shawls over there better get busy."
And will there be enough Chinese restaurants?

Mr. Dajjal will not appear in Mecca because of:

But—I thought little Rifqa Bary was the Dajjal? Boy is it tough keeping all of this complex Islamic theology straight! I bet if I read the Qu'ran in the original classical Arabic that would clear everything up...

This 'preacher' is thirteen hundred and seventy or so years too late with this "news".
Mohammad was the anti-Christ.
Literally.
He turned back (was anti-) all of the enlightened reforms Jesus (The Christ) made to the harsh faith of first century Judaism, which was dogmatically as cruel ("stoning", etc.) as current day Islam.
And censored everything worthwhile that Jesus said out of the (mostly-plagiarized) Koranic texts.
Previous Christians, like Dante, recognized that Mohammad was at least an anti-Christ figure, and put him in "The Inferno" for good measure.
Islam is essentially The Greatest Act of Denial Ever Devised In History.
Denying, daily, it's own stuptifyingly obvious meaning, actions, values and retrograde effect upon humanity.
This failure to see itself as it really is is Islam's most mind-boggling blindness and core delusion.
And it must kill - and continue threatening to kill- to keep this Self-Cover-up from being exposed or admitted.
Lest Islam implode.
profitsbeard writes, "He turned back (was anti-) all of the enlightened reforms Jesus (The Christ) made to the harsh faith of first century Judaism, which was dogmatically as cruel ("stoning", etc.) as current day Islam."
There was nothing "harsh" about first century Judaism. It offered much that attracted new adherents across the Roman Empire at that time. By some estimates, between 5 and 10% of the Empire were Jews or "God fearers" who adapted Jewish practices. Judaism even penetrated the nobility of Rome. A "harsh" faith doesn't do that.
And if you knew your history, you'd know stoning wasn't practiced in late Second Temple times. The same holds true for many of the practices laid out in Torah, but which via reinterpretation were no longer practiced. If you want to get a sense of the rabbinic mindset of the time, read the Ethics of the Fathers chapter of the Mishna - compiled in 200, but based on earlier teachings.
I agree with boneshack: If this Dajjal has only one eye, how can anything be written between his eyes?
Stupid superstitious nonsense.
And it's the 21st century....

"Abu Huraira transmitted from the Prophet: "The one-eyed Dajjal, the false messiah,..."
Oh my God! It's David Patterson!
yes, so believable, ... let me see if I am getting this ...
Islam, which missed the Real Christ in so many ways, is now going to identify the anti-Christ?
Isn't that a bit like the third-time around sophomore in high school, who flunked geometry three times as well, giving Einstein a lesson in quantum physics?
Islam produces idiocy, and idiocy produces Islam.
I have this dream, becoming stronger day by day, in which someone, with God's (not Allah's) inspiration and help, actually constructs a time machine. The dream is that I get first go.
Now there are so so many periods one could choose in order to go back in time to change history. The Sci-fi rules usually say that the time traveller must not change history because of the laws of unintended consequences and chaos theory. I'd ignore the rules and take the chance.
In my dream I, a basically non-violent man, would choose 570 AD and would seek out and eliminate Mo shortly after his birth since I believe that HE really was the Anti-Christ and has been the cause of so much killing and suffering.
Wonder what the world might look like when I returned? Churchill's views on the Mohammedans wouldn't be there and there would be no mosques. Hitler wouldn't have had help from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. The Crusades would never have happened and GoV wouldn't be here. Perhaps millions, or billions of lives would have been saved.
Sadly just a dream and no I haven't been drinking/
Anas said? Who would believe anything out of the mouth of an Anas?
"Hafiz ibn Hajar said: "When will he be destroyed and who will kill him? He will be destroyed after he has appeared in all the earth except Mecca and Medina, then he will go to the holy house (Jerusalem) and 'Isa (Muslim name for Jesus) will descend and kill him."
Even a staunch atheist like myself can't imagine Jesus killing anyone.
Robert:
Here,s a question for Moslem apologists:
Since they deny Jesus was the Messiah- and thus his divinity- and if Muhammed is the last prophet and the 'perfect man' why then do they even need an anti-Christ?
xavier
1John 2:22 very clearly defines the antichrist as the one that
denies the Father and the Son and the Liar.
That makes allah,islam,mohammad and muslims including this so
called sheikh all liars and antichrist.

I agree.
But, perversely, that is the Muslim Jesus' (Isa) whole role in Islam. In the last days, he returns to earth to "break the cross and kill the pigs", which has traditionally been interpreted as meaning he will do away with dhimmitude, the small, uncertain space for "people of the book" under Islam. No more Jizya, and no more "protection"—such as it is.
Following this, they will be given two choices only: convert, or be killed.
Thus the role of Jesus in Islam is to *kill Christians*. Check that out next time some Imam on "Inter-Faith Dialogue night" tells you how much Islam reveres "the prophet Jesus".
People, im going to answer your questions and clarify what these narrations say.
Firstly Wellngton, dont be ignorant and cruel by comapring Islam to Hitlers reign of terror, it is unjust and unfair to do so.
FSCARN, I think you will find it is not Muslims that are methodically excluding Jews, I think you will find it is the Jews that keep attacking Palestine for no valid reason, and so the Muslim people are trying to keep the Jews away from themselves to avoid any further bloodshed.
DJRZ, The above response to FSCARN's comment will clarify reason why the Muslims are "killing Jews" (Your quote), they are on the defensive against the Jews offensive and so people will die, its inevitable.
BONESHACK, There is no need to vilify the Sheiks, and respect the Islamic holy prophet Muhammad(SAW). You are however right to say the prophet was 'uneducated', however the prophet had qualities and virtues that were ultimate perfection which all the prophets had. Prphet Muhammad (SAW) acquired his knowledge from Allah, Almighty God, he was not taught by a human being, and so he was "The City of Knowledge". As for the Sheiks quotes, The antichrisht or Dajjal will have 2 eyes however one of his eyes will be blind and closed and the eyelids will be scared, which will ultimatley leave the Dajjal with 1 eye. As for the quotation
"...and will remain in the land forty days"
is not a plagiarized text however those that are not naive and ignorant will know that Allah had given books to Jews through Dawood aka David and Musa aka Moses and A book to Isa aka Jesus. These books at the prophets life held Allah words which were then distorted however it is not to say the whole book of all the books are distorted but parts of it.
Fella called 'PROPHETSBEARD', you have to stop being ignorant and vilifying Islam and the prophet. We Muslims believe in Isa aka Jesus but as a prophet, so you could at least realise Muhammad (SAW) was a prophet and not the 'Anti-Christ'. Both of these prophets are prophets of Allah, so why would they undermine one another? Think with your head mate! Dante was ignorant, as William Montgomery Watt, a Christian Scholar has criticized early christian scholars and says Christians "must accept Muhammad as a prophet". Islam does not kill it is on the defensive, if blokes like you are attacking Muslims and the Religion of Islam than we Muslims need to defend it.
SEAN, don't be a backwards thinking idiot! As people we must all respect religions but not taunt it, something Islam teaches us Muslims.
BWEICK, Seriously wake up! and learn to get along with Muslims, you really sound like a fascist.
IMNODHIMMI, From an Islamic perspective Isa aka Jesus's missioon given to him by Allah is to kill the biggest evil which is Dajjal, its a kill for the greater good of humanity.
XAVIER, Im no apolist, Im just a British Muslim integrating in society, Here is why there is a Dajjal. It is because The anti-Christ lust for life is a test by god, it is going to test peoples Faith (Muslim Faith), not to give into greed, which is what the Anti-Christ is about.
