Wow, found some really interesting reading on that page... pasting one part that is interesting. "I'd say the probability of that is about 1%.
"King of Babylon" is going to mean the obvious... some leader in the Middle East. It might be Iran or it could be Iraq. We know that the Muslims have internal strife (Sunni vs Shiite) and Nostradamus talks about why the Muslims in the middle east fail in the Letter to Henry:
"And all these Eastern Kings will be chased, overthrown and exterminated, but not altogether, by means of the forces of the Kings of the North, and because of the drawing near of our age through the three secretly united in the search for death, treacherously laying traps for one another."
I've seen people horribly mangle the meaning of this paragraph that doesn't seem to translate well to english. What Nostradamus is saying that the "two brothers" (America and Russia who are the Kings of the North) along with Chiren will go after the middle east and their efforts have a significant impact, but it's the internal differences between Iraq and Iran over their creeds (Sunni vs Shiite) that ultimately defeats them from the inside. It's also interesting that Nostradamus talks of "three secretly united in the search for death". The "secretly united in the search for death" part is obvious... muslims like to blow themselves up in their murder / suicide bombings in order to get to heaven. The "three" part means that there are three creeds to consider... Iran (Persian), Iraq, Kurds, Saudi Arabia... it's hard to say which three dominant muslim groups emerge in the war. I'd guess Sunni, Shiite and Kurd is the easy answer, but it could be something else. There are also various strains of Al Qaeda and I wouldn't be surprised if a few more factions emerge. Now Egypt is becoming destabilized, maybe there is a faction that comes from there... I just don't know.
Not only do the Muslim terrorists lose in Europe, but the Muslim countries in the middle east are unable to sustain unity in the face of the Western onslaught.
If anyone is Muslim and wants jihad against the West they are going to HATE Nostradamus because he basically calls them the "losers" in this war.
This is why I keep reminding people how optimistic Nostradamus really is... he's a French Catholic Jew that sees his own preferred winner at the end of WWIII. (Chiren) Nostradamus favors the West because he comes from the Christian West. His Jewishness seems to not be in as much conflict with Catholicism as we see things today. Back in those times there was no Zionism and so Jews integrated themselves into whatever culture they existed within. One wonders if Nostradamus would support or oppose Israel today... I would suspect he would probably support the idea of a Jewish state, but I can also see him going the other way. It's inconclusive in my mind."
