Why there is Antichrist but there is not Anti Moses and Anti-Allah or Anti Buddha or Anti Mohamed?
Well, of all those named, mostly because only Christian theology elevates the key figure to the level of God, and, the early Church being heavily influence by neo-platonic dualism, came up with a figure to be an nearly equal opposite of God. Buddha is not a divine prophet or a God himself. He was just a man who figured out that all is really one, and mapped out a road for others to try and rid themselves of the illusion of separateness. Moses never did anything except serve as a conduit for an all powerful God. I guess you could say that Pharoh was the anti-Moses, but that's human to human conflict. In Judaism, nothing, not even Satan (HaSatan, in Hebrew, just means adversary. He's God's opposing council, but not a fallen angel and totally under God's control in Judaism) can contend with God. Mohammed, being the final prophet for Islam, likewise, was just serving as mouthpiece for an all powerful deity who brooks no contenders.
