I am not arguing for the millenarian mindset. They are a very, very insignificant minority in of the christian world (in fact until I read the above article, I did'nt even know that such a sect existed). It has no relevance. There are prophecies of other religions which will shock most decent peace loving muslims, which the authors have ignored or are ignorant about.
The article seems to try and show the extemist side of an insignificant sect and its belief. It is trying to show that just as Islam is getting a bad name due to islamic driven terrorism, even christianity has its extremist elements. It is an attempt at that and nothing else. I don't deny that there are christian fundamentalists, but they are toned down and silenced by the vast majority. They are not the power house. But in Islam the fundamentalists are the power house (for example Iranian mullas, Saudi ruling class, the various 'liberation' organisations etc).
