Re: Dajjal in Isfihaan?
The Dajjalic system is already in place. What remains is for the different components of the grand system to be tied together into one central nerve center/command center/HQ, etc. That, according to ahadith will be Jerusalem with the advent of the final Dajjal Masih (AntiChrist).
Consider this, and you will not find any ambiguity in this fact. Whose sovereignty do you find in most, if not all countries today? God's? No. Far from it. Men's sovereignty. Democracy=Governance of the people, for the people, by the people. People decide their affairs according to their desires/needs/demands by the majority.
Then consider the amount of bloodshed (Al-Harj; another indication) that's widespread all over the world. The killed in most cases is not aware why he/she has been killed, and in some instances the killer has a confused justification for why the murder was warranted. In most of these crimes, neither the killed knows the killer; nor the killer knows the one who's being killed.
So how unlikely would you say it would be, if a person/commander/country comes with the message of "true" peace, and paints a picture that lets wipe all these divisions among mankind. Borders hold no significance, and it should be one universal law/rule for all. How fair! How just a system!.....or is it?
If your conscience agrees to that supposed peace; read Submission, to any entity other than God The Almighty, then you're well indoctrinated for Dajjal's appearance already.
It's not that it sounds bad; it sounds amazingly fair. But remember this: Dajjal's fitnah is such that reality is totally opposite to the presentation. What you think you see, may be in reality the total opposite in spirit/after effect/overall impact on humanity.
Disagree with me, for that's the purpose of a debate. But I'm inclined to believe in the hadiths that remind us, and warn us about the reality of the greatest fitnah faced by all of mankind. It was so grave that Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) vowed to defend/protect the people of his time if Dajjal appeared then. That's very significant. What chance do you, or me, or anyone have when our Iman is inherited and not earned as early muslims?
We already fall prey to the smallest of fitnahs on a daily basis; may Allah (swt) protect and help us with the greatest deception that's to come.
In the light of everything that's happening whether Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Caucasus regions, European/American economical downward spiral are all different pathways that eventually merge and lead to "One Solution". That solution will be presented by the Dajjal; while his agents in the form of men/women will do their best to set the stage for him. He only needs to attend the official ceremony to initiate the supposed One Government. Conspiracy? We shall see. Lets hope we're alive to re-visit this then. :) There's no shame in being wrong, and i'll take that any day.
Allah knows best.

I am not very knowledgable about these things, but I just wanted to give my opinion about the Dajjalic system. Take it for what it is worth - just my personal thoughts, not any interpretation of anything. When the hadiths were written, they were written in the context of the middle eastern world and through middle eastern Islam-centric lens - even places like Indonesia (a major Islamic country) were not taken into account.
We have to apply these prophecies not just to the middle east or the muslim people, but to the entire world which has now become a tightly connected global village. Zionist conspiracies may be relevant to the middle east, but are of no consequence in China or South America or even Russia. The Dajjalic System if it applies to the entire world can not be just a conspiracy about some relatively small countries in the middle east. I would suggest that the Dajjalic System that is in place is rather the hyper-capitalistic system that has gripped the world since the fall of communism and the rise of the BRICs. This has commercialized everything and made an ordinary human being into a commodity - a resource for manufacturing and a target for marketing. Vast numbers of poor are getting poorer while a few rich are becoming ultra rich and in the process the earth is being destroyed. People in Africa who don't have enough to eat, have to pay some French company to buy drinking water. In the meanwhile ordinary people are enthralled by shiny new products and are captive to materialism and consumerism. The centers of the Dajjalic system run through the financial capitals of the world - New York, London, Frankfort, Dubai, Shanghai, Hongkong, Tokyo (on a lesser scale Seoul, Moscow, São Paulo and Bombay), rather than the middle east and Jerusalem.
Just my 2-bits worth (BTW, I don't believe in any One Government conspiracy).
