   In case it helps narrow things down, Mohammed was very clear on the point   
   of Dajjal being a one-eyed man. :-)   
      
   He also stated that in the end times people would vie with one another to   
   build very tall buildings and children would no longer respect their   
   parents, so naturally there are Moslem millenialists who think we're   
   there now.   
      
   A lot of this stuff is in the hadith or collected sayings of Mohammed   
   rather than in the Quran itself.
