Was Nostradamus right?

[flobadob]

Nostradamus foretold of an ultimate major war of East vs West. With the recent uprisings and now this anti islam film, is the time right for someone to sweep in and unite the muslim world to band together to defeat the freedom lovers?

[bibblebub]

Nostradmus' writings are nonsense that people have selectively interpreted with hindsight.

[ichkeria]

The trouble is I'm never sure if these questions are serious ...
Especially the ones that mention "Nostradamus"

[flobadob]

How is it hindsight when it still had to occur?

[DTCwordfan]

Given the inherent divisions in the Muslim world, even stronger perhaps than those in Christianity, I don't exactly see this happening, do you? And by whom re the all conquering unifier, Mohammed perhaps?

Speculation, pure speculation bordering on delusion.

[ichkeria]

"How is it hindsight when it still had to occur? "

It was hindsight on the part of people writing about contemporary events and going: "Cor, Nostradamus said something about that, didn't he?"

[bibblebub]

I'll bet you a pound to a penny that people were using the same prognostication to claim that there would be a major war at the time of the Cuban missile crisis.

[Canary42]

The biggest Power by far in the East is China - little sign of Islam there. Nostradamus nonsense misinterpreted AGAIN.

[LyndaB]

I believe that Nostradamus also predicted that the world would end in September 1999. Errrr.........

[tommy-h]

Get a job !

[joggerjayne]

Surely the word was "confrontation" rather than war.

And the East v West confrontation was predicting a cricket final between Kent and Somerset.

Nostradamus was very particular on that one.

I think he foretold that the East would prevail, so I'd suggest a tenner on Kent.

[NoMercy]

Nostradamus, the Bible Code, the Mayans ... All predicted the "end of days" and it all turned out to be a load of codswallop!

And there shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, and there will be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base, that has an attachment…at this time, a friend shall lose his friends’s hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before around eight o’clock...

[ludwig]

... And the beast shall be huge and black, and the eyes thereof red with the blood of living creatures, and the *** of Babylon shall ride forth on a three-headed serpent, and throughout the lands, there'll be a great rubbing of parts.

[joggerjayne]

LOL Ludwig ... Was that Life of Brian ??

[Arksided]

I predict a riot... err wait... isn't that a song.
The Bible, Myans, Nostradamus and other so called prophets must have known it's the Babylonians that will be proved right :-/

[ludwig]

yes JJ

[jomifl]

Only time will tell Flob, however since he has never got aything right then we can probably rest assured that it won't happen.

[Old_Geezer]

Was he right ?
Well, he wasn't left.

[chaptazbru]

Tell us one thing this Nostra thingy got right then .....

[emmie]
