The Bible On Islam and Muhammad
Muslim preachers including Zakir Naik and Ahmad Deedat argue that the Paraclete referred to in the Gospel of John (apparently written near the end of the 1st century AD) is a prophecy of the coming of Muhammad.
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you." - John 16-7In the Gospel of John (14:16, 15:26, and 16:7) the word often translated into English as "Comforter" is the Greek word Paracletos, a word with several shades of meaning, including both "advocate" and "comforter" Muslims believe that the Greek word Paraclete refers to Muhammad. Christians believe that the Paraclete who comes in place of Christ is the Holy Spirit, who was manifested on the day of Pentecost.

“The exact objectives of Islam Inc. are obscure. Needless to say everyone involved has a different angle, and they all intend to cross each other up somewhere along the line.”
