Tehran, 21 Dec. (AKI) - Europe will eventually become a Muslim
continent, according to a representative of Iran's supreme leader,
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

"In a dozen years, Europe will be an Islamic continent," said Rasul
Jalilzadeh on Friday as he was speaking to the basiji, a voluntary
organisation in the capital Tehran.

"The Islamisation of the European continent is imminent and this step
favours the arrival of the Mahdi," he said, referring to the 12th imam
of Shiite Islam.

Shiites believe that the Imam Mahdi, who disappeared as an adolescent,
will return to bring an end to chaos and bring universal justice.

Rasul Jalilzadeh believes that "the Islamisation of Europe is one of
the consequences of the Islamic revolution in Iran" in that "the
messages and values that this revolution has transmitted to the
Europeans, to convince them "to abandon their current faiths and
convert to Shiite Islam."
