End-of-the-world couple vow to spread word

Christian extremists, convinced the world will end next month, have vowed to continue their campaign to warn Dubai residents of impending doom – despite having adverts displaying their message removed by authorities.
Marie Sheahan and husband Michael have been travelling the world to tell people they believe May 21 will see the return of Christ and the planet ravaged by a violent earthquake.
The pair, who work for US-based religious radio station Family Radio, paid to have giant posters advertising ‘judgement day’ pasted on ten billboards across Dubai, but on Sunday night they were ripped down.
Dubai Municipality, which licenses such advertisements, confirmed it had ordered all the posters to be removed as they
contradicted Islam.
The municipality had reportedly said it was an error that the adverts were cleared in the first place.
But, undeterred, the pious pair plan to pound the emirate’s streets to hand out pocket-sized leaflets in the hope of warning as many people as possible before “the end”.
Sheahan, 32, told 7DAYS: “We planned to have ten billboard posters but only six went up in the end and only for two days. My
husband was stood in the storm with his approval letter trying to tell the police not to take them down, but they had their orders.”

Campaign backlash
Extremist Christian groups say Bible studies reveal a hidden message in the scripture, which names May 21, 2011, as Armageddon.
The theory has been dismissed by scientists, seismologists and religious experts, but this has not deterred the couple from handing out cards across Dubai.
Sheahan said: “We respect other beliefs and people’s differences but it’s our duty to warn people. It doesn’t matter which religion you are – this affects everyone.”
But the religious community in Dubai has branded the campaign irresponsible. Anglican vicar Reverend Stephen Miller said: “There are a number of these sects who aren’t part of the church and prey on people’s vulnerability. I’m not a great believer in hidden messages from God to be honest, I think he reveals himself openly and fully to all those of faith. I personally won’t be worrying on May 20.” And a Dubai-based Imam said: “It is not proper to advertise about the last day. It creates panic and leads people astray.”
