As the Islamic State’s brutal atrocities continue to shock the world, one of the recent developments that has not been explored in-depth is the terror group’s recently released seventh edition of its English-language magazine titled Dabiq.
The document features an article that touches upon the end-times theology that experts claim drives the Islamic State’s ongoing rampage, with the text describing Islam as the “religion of the sword, not pacifism,” according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
“The article also presents numerous verses from the Koran as well as prophetic hadiths that highlight Islam’s reliance on the sword in fighting its enemies,” the organization explained. “In that regard, ISIS notes that the sword will continue to be drawn against Islam’s enemies until ‘Isa (Jesus) kills the Dajjal (the Antichrist), after which, it adds, ‘Islam and its justice’ will prevail on the entire earth.”

They're not literally saying "Jesus" just the equivalent deity in their religion.

this is not accurate in my opinion they are talking about the great Mahdi or whatever the hell they call him...Not Jesus... I'd say this could play into revelations though if ever they sat on the throne of Rome or the third temple of the near future and the one they speak of proclaims himself God and brings about a false peace...
So maybe they are trying to make Jesus come...for if that came to pass he's arrival would be imminent!

Allah is the Arabic word for god, and it refers to the same god of the Bible. The god of Abraham. Although many Christians seemingly want to argue that. Regardless, they are both considered Abrahamic religions.
Jesus isn't a deity in Islam. He's a prophet. He's in the Quran just the same.

I just can't see if they believe Jesus came back and kills the antichrist then the world all turns to Islam???
Then Jesus bows down to Muhammad and the Magdi and Allah? Ya right... ( what is that the Arabic trinity?)

What are you asking me exactly? Think I need a paraphrasing.

Oh no worries. My knowledge of Islam is quite limited myself!

This is another part I am unsure of and hope for someone qualified to inform me.
...but I'm thinking the slaying of the 'False Messiah' from Madhi and Jesus/Isa is said to occur near the 'End of Days'. All part of many tribulations leading to a resurrection and final judgment by Allah. In other words I don't think they believe this is about converting the World to Islam so much as it is the culmination of all religious events on Earth.
But not sure.
Your comment about Jesus bowing down to Muhammad seems out of place. As I understand it Jesus isn't viewed as inferior to Muhammad in Islam. I think they are both prophets sent by Allah according to Islam. I'm sure they would both 'bow down' to Allah. *shrug*
