Reasons Why Ali is the Son of Perdition

I originally wrote this part for the FAQ page, but it is important enough that I copied the material to its own page. In addition to Ali fitting the 666 timeline exactly, there are many other things that show him to be the Son of Perdition and the prototypical Antichrist.

Let us compare/contrast Jesus the Christ with Ali the Antichrist:

• Ali taught against love of enemy: "Do not take Allah's enemy and your enemy for friends. Would you offer them love while they deny the truth? If you seek Allah's pleasure, would you manifest love to them? Allah knows all, and whoever of you does this has indeed gone astray from Allah's straight path."
• Jesus taught selfless motivation: "If you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back." (Luke 6:33–35)
