Rosenberg's book deals specifically with events relating to those described in Ezekiel (later chapters, like 38-46 if I'm remembering right) in the Bible. Ezekiel is also a book in the Torah.
I haven't read the Qur'an, so I'm not sure if or where these specific prophecies would fall. As the book of Ezekiel pre-dates the Qur'an and Muhammed and from what I've read Muhammed had significant contact/influence from both Jewish and Christian friends (and evidently eventual enemies!), it's likely that there are at least some similarities-- again, based on what I've read Muhammed's writings were intended not to totally abandon everything in Jewish and Christian practice, but to "correct" what was flawed and bring those people back to what Muhammed understood to be the true religion. So it stands to reason that there would likely be some holdovers, and it would be even more likely in the case of prophetic writings. I better shut up before I mis-state something and offend someone.
It would be interesting to know what the Qur'an has to say about this topic. I definitely plan on doing more reading on this. It's always good to understand how everyone views something.
