The ‘sacred’ eschatology of these “non-Christian, evil bastard(s)” informs them that the “rough beast” with a “gaze blank and pitiless as the sun” will indeed come back — to fight their version of the Armageddon FOR THEM, as Commander in-Chief or Co-Mahdi of the Mahdi/ the Returning Imam. That is why an empty grave by the grave of the “Last Messenger of the Almighty” is kept reserved for the “rough beast” to be buried with honor after he accomplishes his mission of annihilating all the heathen, particularly the Jews and the Christians.

(See chapters /sections usually titled “FITNAH/”upheaval”, QIYAAMA/”resurrection” etc. in almost all Sunni as well as Shia ‘authentic’ Hadith / Hadis collections … and also see relevant portions in the traditional exegeses /tafsirs of the Quran, e.g., that of Tabari.Ask a “haaji” /pilgrim about the reserved empty grave by the grave of the Last Messenger of the Almighty … or see Sir Richard F. Burton, Personal Narrative of Pilgrimage to Al-Medinah and Mecca.)

Referring to the extraordinary powers of “the rough beast” mentioned in these sources, e.g. “gazing” power — similar to those in ‘the sources’ of William Butler Yeats — , some Jihadis confident of winning the ‘final war’ are already telling the believers that using these extraordinary powers, the “rough beast” will turn the scientific fictions into ‘scientific’ facts winning the real Star War, of course for the “non-Christian, evil bastards” our dear “Filthy Screw” is so scared of.
