You must have noted that the widespread of murders and that too often senseless and unfathomably cruel crimes are widespread all around the globe today. Children killing parents, parents killing their children, kids killing each other, employees killing maids, maids killing employees etc! Of course my statement "signs of the hour" is an Islamic belief (though recently I heard certain denominations of Christians believe it too.)that as the world comes to an end we will witness a epidemic in murders and other crimes. IMO that is exactly what it seems like when we hear day in day out such spine chilling stories of demonic crimes.
