replacement? erm, interesting choice of words. there are however, or have been - rather - 12 imams, the last one died in the year 965 AD if memory serves me correctly. now it is a belief the last imam is just waiting for the right moment to appear to instigate an Islamic government and to start jihad, a war like never seen before. am not sure if that's what you mean by looking for a "replacement".

I think you have been leaning islam from some really weird people (Ayatollah Blair?). Why not spend some time learning about Islam from real muslims.
The most basic belief in islam is to believe in and worship one God and recognise Muhammad as Gods last messenger and servant (just like the previous messengers including Jesus, Moses, David, Solomon, Jacob and Abraham).
By definition, every muslim must believe that Muhammad is the last of the messengers and the Quran is the last of the divine books (the last testament).
Anyone who believes that the Quran has "sell-by-date" or that Muhammad is not the last of the messengers is, by definition, NOT a muslim. There were/will be no new prophets or holy books. The Quran and the example of the last prophet is valid up to the point when this world will end
God says in the Quran :
(33:40):
Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah is ever Aware of all things

Al-Hijr | 99 verses | Stoneland, Rock city, Al-Hijr valley سÙرة اÙØجر
Sura #15 | Makkah
1A. L. R. These are the Ayats of Revelation,- of a Qur'an that makes things clear.
2Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to Allah.s will) in Islam.
3Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).
4Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.
5Neither can a people anticipate its term, nor delay it.
6They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!
7"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"
8We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!
9We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
10We did send apostles before thee amongst the religious sects of old:
11But never came an apostle to them but they mocked him.

Mohammad was a politician who made a number of rule's so people back then would obey him, over the centuries people have adapted those rule's into a religion mostly for there own gain. As for them "converting to rational behaviour" it's unlikely as they have been brainwashed from birth.

Have I missed something? The Prophet is the last one, there arnt going to be anymore after him so if they are searching for someone it wont be his replacement. When you do find out who they are actually searching for let me know coz Im interested.

The religion that Mohammad established is falling apart; Islam is no longer a religion..its a political ploy.

I think they can't find a matching beard. Personally I think we have enough of prophets and religions.
