Watch this short 2:22 YouTube video to understand the Islamic view of the end of the world. It appears their first trumpet by the angel Rafael causes a mild breeze to blow around the world causing a type of "rapture" of the faithful before the second trumpet brings destruction on those who remain.

What Are They Saying in the Arabic Blogosphere?
Information concerning the practice and topics of Arabic bloggers has been researched and reported by Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. Here is part of their report:

Personal life and local issues are most important: Most bloggers write mainly personal, diary-style observations. But when writing about politics, bloggers tend to focus on issues within their own country, and are more often than not critical of domestic political leaders. Foreign political leaders are discussed less often, but also more in negative than positive terms. Domestic news is more popular than international news among general politics and public life topics. The one political issue that clearly concerns bloggers across the Arab world is Palestine, and in particular the situation in Gaza (Israel’s December 2008/January 2009 military action occurred during the study). Other popular topics include religion (more in personal than political terms) and human rights (more common than criticism of western culture and values). Terrorism and the US are not major topics. When discussing terrorism, Arab bloggers are overwhelmingly critical of terrorists. When the US is discussed, it is nearly always critically.
