The Antichrist Opposes Trump (Revelation 13)

Muqtada al-Sadr, Iraqi cleric, urges Americans to resist Donald Trump

LONDON (AP) — A powerful Iraqi cleric whose followers once fought U.S. troops says Donald Trump’s election victory is a sign of American decline.

Muqtada al-Sadr, a Shiite who brought thousands of anti-government protesters into the streets of Baghdad earlier this year, urged Americans in a Friday statement to resist Trump’s intolerant views.

He says: “We advise the American people not to be affected by the radicalism of their president, and they should not allow him to impose his influence.”

Al-Sadr’s militia, known as the Peace Brigades, is among the largest of several government-sanctioned Shiite armed groups battling Islamic State forces. He says his group considers America “as the founder of terrorism, by its acts and behavior.”

He added: “Peace be upon the American people, those who like moderation and who want peace and peaceful coexistence between religions and ethnicities.”
