Pave the way for more peace?? He was a monster that had no problem with targeting innocents. He should have been tried as a war criminal and executed like the Nazis. If there is a hell may he enjoy it for eternity.

well there's more than one possible "messiah", set to come upon the world stage, depending on who ya listen to. there's the muslim mahdi and the christian jesus. these are not the same individual, although some muslims think they are.
You seem to be confused. Islam says that the Mahdi and Jesus will join forces against the AntiChrist.
The Mahdi's tenure will coincide with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Isa), who is to assist the Mahdi against the Masih ad-Dajjal (literally, the "false Messiah" or Antichrist). Jesus, who is considered the Masih (Messiah) in Islam, will descend at the point of a white arcade, east of Damascus, dressed in yellow robes with his head anointed. He will then join the Mahdi in his war against the Dajjal, where Jesus will slay Dajjal and unite mankind. Sahih Muslim, 41:7023

What or who exactly is this Mahdi tripe.
Don't know if that's in the Bible.
BTW RIP Sharon

Yes, one of the oldest rabbis in Israel (guy was 108 when he passed) supposedly made a prophecy that the Messiah would come soon after Sharon's death. Now, as I said there, what is "soon" to a man who has lived for 108 and years? He also supposedly made a note in which he revealed the name of the Messiah and asked it not to be revealed for one year after his death. Short version is that when the note was opened, it revealed Jesus as Messiah.
So, I guess this prophecy is now put on countdown watch although I do not know how you decide when "soon" is up.
As for Arial Sharon, he was a controversial man. He was a man who had family. He will be missed by many whether anyone here thinks he deserves to be respected or not. We all face God in the end, and only He can judge our worthiness in this life. God knows, and God will decide.
Eight, on the other hand, is symbolic of an entity that is one step above the natural order, higher than nature and its limitations. That's why Chanukah is eight days long—the greatly outnumbered Maccabees' resolve to battle the Greeks wasn't logical or natural. They drew on reservoirs of faith and courage that are not part of normative human nature. They therefore merited a miracle higher than nature – a miracle that lasted eight days – and to commemorate this, we light on Chanukah an eight-branched menorah (click here for the full story). In a similar vein, we circumcise our children when they are eight-day old babies, because the brit milah symbolizes our nation's supernatural and logic-defying covenant with G‑d.
The number eight symbolizes new beginnings. According to Kaballah in the Zohar the number eight signifies this because the eight day was the first day after creation when God returned to work; the week began again.

This is good news, the real perpetrator behind 9/11 and a whole host of war crimes is finally dead.

Yeah, now we are just waiting for Yeshua (or Jesus) to come back to Earth like predicted. He will take the throne of the Israel.

Ever hear of a group of people called Muslims? Look into their holy book.
