Ok I am sure he does not fit the necessities to be the Antichrist, his age for one, but watching the acclaim from the world at large, and all his characteristics, called Muslim, yet seen head banging the wailing wall, he sure will prefigure the antichrist.. He will appear as saviour of all problems, but cause a horrible suffering to most of mankind.. I cannot see it any other way... He most certainly is NOT a symbol of Christ, or Christian principles....but neither was Bush. We will know within the first 6 months. If Israel does not assassinate him before hand... What better way to start the necessary rebellion, to allow the real rulers to move in Philip.
