OK ya'll what's the significance of August 22, 2006 again? I can't

[texpatriot2004]

remember where the rapture/apocolypse thing for today came from? What was it about August 22, 2006? According to who?

I read a few snippets from Rethugs making comments about it but I don't remember where. Help.

Anyone know?

1. it's a muslim holiday. i think it has something to do with one

of the prophets going to heaven or something like that. i think iran said that "something was going to happen on the 22nd".

i think it's probably the 23rd by now in the mideast or at least close to it.

2. came from speculation by an alleged Islamic "expert" in the WSJ

which then got amplified around the blogosphere...
