The Army Of Black Flags

The Mahdi’s ascendancy to power is said to be preceded by an army from the east who will be carrying black flags or banners of war.  Sheikh Kabbani states:

Hadith indicate that black flags coming from the area of Khorasan will signify the appearance of the Mahdi is nigh.  Khorasan is in todays Iran, and some scholars have said that this hadith means when the black flags appear from Central Asia, i.e. in the direction of Khorasan, then the appearance of the Mahdi is imminent. 17

Another tradition states that:

The Messenger of Allah said: The black banners will come from the East and their hearts will be as firm as iron.  Whoever hears of them should join them and give allegiance, even if it means crawling across snow. 18

In Islam there are two flags.  One is white and one is black.  Written across both flags in Arabic are the words, “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger”.  The white flag is called Al-Liwaa and serves as the sign for the leader of the Muslim army and is the flag of the Islamic State.  The black flag is called Ar-Raya and is used by the Muslim army. It is also called the flag of jihad, and is carried into battle.  One flag is governmental and the other is a military flag. 19 When Muhammad returned to his home city of Mecca after being exiled for eight years, he returned as a conqueror.  With him were ten thousand Muslim soldiers.  They carried with them black flags.  On the flags was one word written in Arabic: punishment. 20 

I was once talking to a group of young Muslim men and asking them some questions.  I asked them if the obvious superior militaries of America and Israel compared to the militaries of any Islamic nations were a source of difficulty for many Muslims.  One of these men then became very angry at my question and snapped out, “You Americans and Zionists better get ready, because the black flags are coming!”  At the time, I had no idea what he was talking about.  Later I learned the meaning.

"This is the factory that produces, at the end of the day, the jihadis that operate in global terrorism," Col Azani said.

By their fruits, ye shall know them. Looking around at the world's terrorism and organized violence, I can count on one thing: Islam. It is true that not all muslims are terrorists, but in so far in this century, just about all terrorists are muslims.

Dr. Hesham A. Hassaballa can reason that there have been terrorist acts committed by supposed Christians such as the IRA and that those acts by a minority doesn't mean that all Christians are terrorists. He is right, though I wonder if Jesus would claim the IRA as members of His faithful. Their acts are contrary to Jesus' teachings.

But, islam does teach violence against non believers, especially against the Jews, as well as deceit, torture, murder, mayhem, etc. By their fruits, their violence, we shall know them as muslims. Satan smiles.

This video is made by the group mentioned in this article. I have watched all of it. I think it is quite important to watch it. The last part addresses the black flag subject. This is a very, very dangerous group, and they are growing exponentially.

So, the Arabs in Palestine have given up on pushing the Jews into the sea in order to steal their land and plunder their property, they're buying into an even bigger phantasy: Roll all the infidels out of the Middle East and create a Muslim superpower uniting all Mualims.

I say, give them a State and be done with it.

The Palestinian cockroaches have NEVER made the right decision or backed the right idea...

The time is fast approaching when the consequences should be made painfully apparent..

The whole attraction to the Caliphate is how screwed up their lives are right now. They're beginning to understand that their so called leaders are out for nothing more than their own enrichment and power. They're angry because they've been told that the Jews, Americans, Zionist, etc are keeping them down and oppressed, and they're losing faith in their own leaders due to reality whacking them in the head.

The Caliphate begins to look attractive, no matter just how evil and murderous it will be. Then again, it being evil and murderous may also be attractions for them as well.

>>”Any person living in Palestine now realises political parties, especially the Islamic ones, have not achieved anything for the individual,” said Sheikh Abu Abdullah, a thin-framed man with a wiry beard.<<

That sums up pretty well in one sentence how you get a dictator.
