Actually, he is. Most people say "antiChrist" when really the term is supposed to be "anteChrist," meaning before Christ. So, because Obama arrived to lead the people before Christ's return to Earth, Obama is, in fact, the anteChrist...though probably not the only one.

That means everybody.

Because of the many generations, everybody is probably descended from Mohammed. But everybody is certainly descended from some Muslim or other.

I presume he's taking about the statistical calculation that if Mohammed had x children, and every one of them had x children, and every one of them had x children ... after 1500 years and so many generations, Mohammed has more grand-grand-grand-grand...children than there are people living right now. Which means, of course, that everybody living right now is a grandchild of Mohammed.

At the same time, everybody living right now id a grandchild of every single contemporary of Mohammed, from the Siberian Inuit to the Amazonas Indians who lived at that time.

I don't think that question is within the scope of this board.

It's not correct, anyway. Although no one is completely genetically separated by anyone else by more than several thousand years, plenty are separated by more than 1400 years. So, no, not every person on the planet is descended from a follower of Islam.
