Koran scholar: US will cease to exist in 2007

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.

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. —Koran scholar: US will cease to exist in 2007 (Jerusalem Post)

Well, I guess we don’t need to worry about fixing Social Security, then, do we?

  1. That’s funny. In the US we call these people “crackpots” rather than “scholars”. Must be a cultural thing.

    Anyway, speaking as someone who lives in Denver, a good mile-plus above sea level, I can safely say that anything that wipes out the US will pretty much do a number on the rest of the globe.
