The Islamic debate, which has resulted from my article on the subject, first in my Portuguese language blog and then in the secular press, is taking on totally unforseen proportions! Having received 2 attacks and 1 defence in comments on the site, I have now had a further big attack, including a lot of racist insinuations, then another attack, followed by a further 4 defences! Crumbs! 550 people have read my article on the secular site thus far. Your prayers are valued.
Election fever grips the nation as the big day on Sunday approaches. It looks like the Paraíba governor has every chance of being reelected, but the Christian presidential candidate seems to have it tougher. Ideally Ricardo Coutinho, the present governor, will be elected on Sunday in the first round. For that he has to receive 50% + 1 votes. He won in the second round last time. As regards Marina Silva, the Christian candidate - she needs to get to the second round and then face the current president Dilma in a straight dispute which would be decided on October 26th. We watch and pray (and vote)!
