Which do you suggest? Al-Quaida: Though it adheres to no particular sect, in general its philosophy is Salafist; the ultimate goal of al-Qaida is to establish a Caliphate across the entire Islamic world, by working with allied Islamic extremist groups to overthrow secular or Western-supported regimes. The Army of Mahdi: The army of Mahdi will fight the oppressors, unite the Muslims, bring peace and justice to the world, rule over the Islamic world, so the Mahdi can prepare the way for Jesus. Mahdi will lead a prayer in Mekkah at which Jesus will be present. If you believe that either event is ordained by God to be manifest at this time then pick that one. If you believe the two are somehow prophetically interwoven, then try to find the balance. If you aren't sure or doubt the claims, then pick a liberal a democracy that affords each the freedom to imagine its glory without entitling either to crush other views (we'd eventually be in that path of crushings).
