I'll get back to you on that when I find my Hava. There are a heap of books in the corner, must be there, they may be reaching critical mbutt.

The idea is a good one, the Muslims regard the prophets as spiritually descending from the Jewish prophets, through Jesus (whom they regard as fully human) to the Prophet. These people are inspired to tell the people God's thoughts, which is revealed through them. The idea of Jesus as human is common among the Christian sects that existed through the East at that time. The idea of a judgement goes way back, to Zoroaster, and has a vision of the dead moving to judgement along a very narrow path, the fallen really fall from this path, and into Jahinnah (sp?)..

No, unfortunatly. Rumors of Christians leaving Iraq in large numbers, the educated ones anyway. One report says that there are more Copts in the US than in Egypt, these probably would not not be noticable to Americans who would regard all Egyptians as Muslims.. One traveler wrote of searching for an obscure sect and discovering that most of them lived near where he lived in England. As I wrote before, from what I read, and what people have told me, the situation in Iraq is really dangerous. The Iranians think that they have humbled the US there, and are likely to try something really stupid. Iran is not Iraq, it is a very strong nation, with a large population that fiercely resents the US and Israel trying to control their country. Most old people there would remember when the British controlled the oil business there, and only allowed Iranians to have lower-skill jobs, and when the British were forced out, the US arranged a coup to retake control over the country. Some way has to be found to allow Iran to become a member of the family of nations without frightening the neighbours. Really bad time leading up to the Israeli elections, some butt may try to show the country how tough he is by attempting an attack on Iran..

they took over more land. The US paid for that farce.
