Judaic history tells us they believe they are awaiting their messiah. Shite islamists believe in the return of the 12th Immam, a messainic figure also called the "Mahdi". Buddhists believe the Dali Lama is the physical reincarnation of their leader. Whereas I believe in the power of people who laugh. Enjoy the rest of the year, and take enough time get the laughs you need!
