Symbolism in Islamic historic tradition: "When the black flags come from Khorasan (Persia/Central Asia) go to them, even if you have to crawl on snow, among them is the Caliph of Allah, the Mahdi"

“In the heart of Iran’s Khorasan province, a black flag flutters above the Razavi Shrine in Mashhad. This is not a standard flag; it resonates deeply with Islamic prophecy, echoing a Hadith about Khorasan. The flag, a symbol of mourning in Shia Islam, is traditionally raised to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. But today, it stands as a potent symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people, mourning the lives lost in an Israeli strike on a hospital in the Gaza Strip.”

When Obama was in office, there were stories that he was the “12th Imam” and the Mahdi.

Exactly. And which radical Muslim terrorist group hasn’t called for jihad?

Thanks. I wonder how strong their conviction that the IDF struck that hospital actually is?

Huge. You have people seeing stuff on their phones at midnight, 1am and getting into their cars en masse and going to protest at embassies all over the world. Pretty powerful and organic.

It’s just a matter of how much the states want to inflame the people over it, and so far, they are inflaming.

Tomorrow should be pretty interesting. And that tomorrow starts soon, I’m on CST and Tel Aviv is 8 hours ahead of me. Will be morning over there in Tehran before you know it.

By that, I mean the conviction of the people protesting. As far as the conviction of the states, I don’t know that it matters, they will use it or they won’t.
