"RE: Gino - Connection of AC with Islam?"

 
Gino,

Good question.  Whether Sunni or Shiite Muslims, both regard the false god Allah.  With respect to Daniel 11:37 "nor regard ANY god", it wouldn't be possible for the AC to be a true believer of Islam.  However, some would assert that radical Islam is more of a socio-political movement than a religion so he could certainly be an Islamic-like mouthpiece.  I believe Daniel depicts a person who may also pay any and all religions lip-service to gain advantage but will be incapable of acknowledging any authority other than himself.  He may also pay lip-service to the desires of women but be only effectual at advancing his own agenda.
 
In Christ,
