There is truly a collective psychosis going on with the men I was told an opinion by a muslim man. He thought that the women were really behind the restrictions. Burkas and arranged marriages mean that all women have a good chance of a marriage regardless of their physical appearance. They don't need makeup, diets, or new clothes to attract a mate. He was a rather westernized muslim man who liked mini-skirts and other western styles. TP

Will you be left behind at the end of times ? Will you be left out of the "rapture" and condemned to forever stray in a world filled only with terrifying demons ? leftbehind.com Have you heard of this series of Books , that taps into the fascination with the Book of Revelations and the end of the world with the 2nd return of Christ and The Rapture . We have the return of Christ , the return of the Mahdi , and the Jews await the Messiah . And some await passing comets in the sky ....great story line : "Choices are made … the stage is set … in the twinkling of an eye millions disappear without a trace. Heaven rejoices as millions are welcomed into the unspeakable presence of God. The darkest days may lie ahead for those who have been left behind. " This is a huge publishing phenomenon with over 60mil books sold in the series , and even the Left Behind Video game coming out soon as you attempt to become an annointed one who's fought the battles , found the clues to make you a worthy candidate to be included & taken up in that instant of glorious rapture when the Christ returns , and not left behind ! Great stuff ! The players' objective is to find "tribulation clues," which include Bible mysteries, codes, and fascinating clues to encourage gamers to think of matters of eternal importance. In the initial missions, there is little emphasis on physical warfare, and gamers are introduced to powers of influence that result in a battle for the hearts and minds of people. In more advanced missions, there is no objective to cause physical warfare. However, physical warfare does result when the player is required to defend himself/herself against the physical forces of evil, which are led by the Anti-Christ. Can't blame them for making a video game , great way now days to communicate <g ....great stuff , who needs science when you have the Revelations & the Rapture that fortells all ?
