For some reason, a few readers think my piece today talking about Islamic eschatology, and pointing out similarities between it and the End Times scenario espoused by some Evangelicals was meant to disparage Evangelicals. I cannot account for thin skins, but for the record, I don’t think there’s anything but the most superficial similarities between infidel-killin’ Wahoobis and American Evangelical Christians. I did the piece because I found it interesting that Islam has an eschatology that derives some elements from Christianity, and that there have been Hal Lindsey-type figures in Islam who have put forth the idea that things taking place right now in the Middle East are part of the Last Days events.
