Wow!  This is surely showing the signs of the times I would say.  It's a 
little scary.  Why did we elect a Muslem anyway?  But we all know the facts. 
The devil is taking every chance he thinks he can to lour people to hell 
with him because the time is getting short and he knows the ending to the 
book!!!!  I will certainly forward this information on.  Thanks for sharing 
it Phil.  Wow!!!  But remember, no matter what happens, God's people will 
win in the end and the devil will be defeated!!!!!!
