The theory started when a chain e-mail accused the president of being the Antichrist. The e-mail stated that the Antichrist will be a man, be in his 40's, of Muslim descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a massive Christ-like appeal and people will flock to him and that he will promise false hope and world peace and that when he is in power that he will destroy everything. Most of this is true, but Revelations never states that he would be in his 40's or of Muslim descent, but still this conspiracy has grown huge on the internet and has many believers.
