this take on a Muslim apocalypse. I'd like a source. Looks like some research is
called for.
A fast lookup (along with cutting through a lot of anti-Semitic BS) shows that
the idea is NOT from the Koran, but from the Hadith materials.
" A hadith is a narration about the life of the Prophet (saas) or what he
approved - as opposed to his life itself, which is the Sunnah as already
mentioned. "
