Just imagine the uproar if this book was about Islam and had been bought by 2 million Muslims in the USA or Europe:

“Glorious Appearing is the last in a 12-book series called Left Behind published over the past nine years. The first 11 novels sold more than 40m copies, making the authors, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins, the best selling novelists in the country, beating even John Grisham.

More than 20,000 volunteers plan to form a Left Behind street team, to spread the word about the books to family, friends and neighbours.

The first novel, Left Behind, starts with the rapture - the moment when those who have been born again will disappear and ascend to heaven, according to many evangelists.

The remaining books detail the seven-year period of mayhem and upheaval in which those left behind have their final chance to find Jesus. The antichrist becomes the head of the UN and triggers the second coming after he signs a peace treaty with Israel, while 144,000 Jews convert to Christianity.”
