Was reflecting some on History today concerning North Africa in the 1880's.
Great Britian had achieved gains and relationship with diverse Islamic nations..then the Black Flags of the Mahdi appeared...the routing of armies..the massacre at Har'toom
Al Harb...*House of War...the machination of Islam towards the infidel.
The nation rulers of Islam entwined themselves with the British..yet the Spirit of Al Harb grew up from places of little regard and cost Great Britian and free peoples dearly.
From the seen attitude of the Palestinian..to the schemeing masses beneath the feet of dishonst rulers such as Bashar of Damascus..Musarraf of Pakistan...Pharaoh of Egypt.
The paralell is there...the landscape would probably irk an Englishman of the 1880's....he might say.."Black Flags of the Mahdi for sure in your time">
If this is not enough to manage....then their is the schemeing designs of the Court of Heaven in Bejing....and the Kings of Europe..and their pride.
How much darkness will arrise in our time to test the souls of man?
I'm cautious..the landscape has a brooding thing beneath its surface.
