History of Jihad ^ | September 4, 2015 | Robin MacArthur

How the Jihad ravaged Christian Byzantium for 800 years, and how valiantly the Byzantine Christians held back the Arab and Turkish hordes, saving Europe from Islam. [ Full title ].

While the Zoroastrian Persians were defeated and were being subjugated, the Muslim hordes turned on their other neighbor the Christian Byzantines. The two armies met at the battlefield of Heiromyak.

Lessons from the Battle of Heiromyak (Al Yarmuk).

At the Battle of the Yarmuk (river), between the Muslim Arabs and the Byzantines, the Muslim Arabs were losing the battle in the initial stages. When the victory seemed certain for the Byzantines, the Muslims took recourse to subterfuge, when they realized that victory could not come to them through straight warfare, they used a contingent of women to attack the Byzantine troops who charged at the Byzantine army shrieking and hollering. .. Not used to facing ladies as an adversary, the Byzantines were at a loss to respond and the confused Byzantine generals ordered their troops not to molest the women and to withdraw.

...

When the Arab Muslims saw that this tactic using women as a deceptive front was working, they sent in the main contingent of Arab men dressed as women in hijabs (the black tent like gown worn by Muslim women) to charge at the Byzantines, and in the process one of the Arab generals Khalid-ibn-Walid disguised as a woman in a hijab, embraced the Byzantine General Harbees and crushed his ribs, thus killing him. With their general dead, the Byzantine army became leaderless, and the fortunes of the battle started going in favor of the Muslim Arabs. This is how the tricky and insidious Muslims won the battle of Yarmuk.

With their guileful victory at Heiromyak, the Muslims .. fanning out in to the now defenseless Syria

Using the hijab as a ‘cover’ protecting women surging against Byzantium... migrant “children” (many clearly past adolescence with abundant facial hair) are fronted as “dreamers” streaming across our southern border .

If we are to understand Islam, we need to understand the temperament of its founder Mad Mo, the way the followers of Mad Mo have treated the conquered people, and above all the reasons for the victory of Islam.

Sending in screaming women and children in unprovoked Muslim aggression against Christendom since 637 and into today.

Given the current ROIs that tactic would work on US troops today.

Obama remembers his history lessons well from his teachings in Indonesia.

Why the reason for the catering to dreamers

Why the bending over for the children of illegals coming across our southern border.

Why the extreme ROE in ME theater on women with weapons.

Obama the Islamic Terrorist that resides in the White House.

Just saw this thread.

Want to note here that Zoroastrians also wear a headscarf (women) and a cap or similar when they attend religious ceremonies ONLY, usually in white or green color. It is traditional, nowadays not essential but recommended.

BLACK is the color of Islam. Chador (an all body covering veil worn by some muslim women in public at all times in Iran for example) is literally translated as “tent”. So, wearing a black “Chador” (black “tent”) is an ARAB-ISLAMIC tradition.
