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"

Carter gave away the Canal, Biden gave away Bagram...both very, very important.

Point taken. Momentary lapse😉

At this stage, I’m too angry to be scared.

Seemed like this weekend they had a deal to de-escalate, or at the least the beginning of a deal.

While the man that literally wrote the book on deals sits on the sidelines, being relentlessly persecuted.

Forget Iran. The juvenile, idiotic, Democrats are proving much more dangerous.

Iranians want to revolt....these guys are true savages created by the removal of the Shah...in the 70’s....play with FIRE and some get burned. OUR own government with godless college pukes thinks its all about money.

What’s the significance of this for those of us who do not study islam?

Apparently it’s a flag they put out during their period of mourning, unusual for it to be flown any other time. Some are interpreting it as a call to jihad... summoning everyone home to Persia to raise an army to fight Israel.

Might it be time to Rock The Casbah once and for all?

What DO these people/countries contribute to a sane world? I must’ve missed it.

Did Iran just call for Jihad?

Not really, they are calling for their End Times per their Koran.

Not just a call for Jihad.
In Muslim eschatology, the Mahdi is the one who brings the final battle. In Christian terms they have declared Armageddon.

Good to see someone knows the significance ( their point of view). I worked in Saudi years ago when I could sit down and eat goats eyeballs and brains on a beautifully served goat head on rice- with Palestinians…..just before they started to get radicalized.

The US Airforce as just over 130 operational strategic bombers and the US Navy has 11 carrier strike groups.

Just how is Iran going to deal with all that?
