For those interested, here is an interpretation of Bhavishya Puranam. This may not be the greatest source, since many seem "biased" against other religion. But as most of the Hindu texts hold a very observing view of everything in the world, I can believe this interpretation. Also, I guess the strength of most of the ancient scriptures of India is in this - the observing, and unemotional and objective view of everything.

The Bhavishya Puranam is a treatise of the "future" from the perspective of Indian saints, just like the Nadi Jothidam by Sage Agasthya.
When I try to connect various happenings in this world to the idea of a Kali Yuga and the pralay (destruction) and the creation beginning again - it seems to fit in well. The way the world is going "ruled" by people of the most devious characters, we could see that Kalki avatar is a must, and the destruction and the rotting of the world at the hands of this Islamic terrorists, and Biblical evangelists is an unfortunate fate, and we are just a part of the continuom of creation and destruction is just an elobrate plan. Finally, Hindu "fatalism" makes sense <!--emo&
