Well, being eager about any kind of death is kind of weird, Middle East or not. But I think that people like that, who anticipate war as a biblical sign, while weird, are pretty harmless. I would think that the only problem would be if a person who was serious about war acting as a sign for the return of Christ got into a position of power where they could influence policy. And while we definitely do have some pretty religious people in power in this country, I don't think there is anyone that is that far gone.
I would be curious to see what a Muslim's view is on people wanting a war in the middle east to fulfill a biblical prophesy.
