Okay, I'll bite the bullet. If it turns out it's not okay, just delete the message, Susan.
The title is Sword of the Dajjal, you can find the pre-sale announcement at:
http://www.capripublishing.net/ click on books, click on Sci-Fi and scroll down.
It is science fiction set 600 years in the future. The assumption is that even if technology allowed all the folks with a grudge to leave for parts unknown, you never out run a problem you haven't solved.
From Wikpedia: '
al-Dajjal (Arabic: الدّجّال, al-dajjāl) ("The Deceiver/impostor/quack"[1]) is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology, who will appear before Yawm al-Qiyamah. He is similar to the Antichrist in Christianity
"Dajjal" in itself is a commonly use Arabic word, "Dajjals" could refer to "False prophets". "Al-Dajjal" on the other hand translates to "The Impostor", refering to a specific end-of time deceiver. It is worthy to note that the term Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal (Arabic for "The False Messiah") is a literal translation of the Syriac term "Meshiha Deghala", which had been in the common vocabulary of the Middle East for
more than 400 years prior to the Quran via the Peshitta (which uses that term instead of the Greek "antichristos").[1]
