I'm not saying I go along with the prophecies and believe this guy has a super power or anything, just that I don't think the idea of Arab domination is all that extreme.

The Arab countries do not get along among themselves. They never have. Unless that very important fact changes radically, they are simply not a credible invasion threat. Compared with Europe, they have a much smaller population and not much in the way of arms-making capability. While they could continue to pose a terrorist threat, that's a far cry from invading and conquering. Also, because the economies of the Arab countries are not well diversidied and remain heavily dependent on oil profts, it would not be overly difficult to bring their economies to a complete standstill. Most of their military forces are no better than second-rate, especially when compared with the trainig and weaponry that the UK military has at its disposal.
While it always pays to keep one eye on the neighbors, I would not give any serious credence that that silly prediction.
