Black Flags of Islam   Portents of the Imam al-Mahdi, the Moslems' prophesied deliverer of Jerusalem?
from Diane Alden… Afghanistan has special significance to the world of militant Islam. It was once called Khurasan, along with parts of Iran and Pakistan. Muhammad said: "If you see the black flags coming from Khurasan, join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice, for that is the army of the Imam al-Mahdi and no one can stop that army until it reaches Jerusalem." That is one reason Osama bin Laden chose it as his base, or al-Qaida. Mohammed's Prophecies of the Imam al-Mahdi Will Osama Appear In Pakistan? Be vigilant for jihadin carrying black flags.
On the wall behind this black-masked Hamas terrorist is a poster of Osama bin Laden. Note the two black flags around the poster. Anyone have a translation of the Arabic on the poster, or know just which black flags these are?

The flag of Afghanistan changes often. Twice in the 20th Century, Afghanistan (Khurasan) has had a black flag.

Watch for a cleric, high ranking and respected in either the Sunni or Shiite sects to be the one to make the proclaimation. If a Wahabbi attempt it, it will just be drowned out as propaganda. It will have to come from a muslim cleric that is a "one-off" from the fighting. Only then will the black flags come out in force.

Not too sure he'll have to be all that "one-off."

The guy next to Osama at the 1998 Black Flag press conference might have the bonafides...

Dr. Hayman al-Zawahiri

Osama bin Laden's right hand man,
the reputed terrorist mastermind behind al Qaeda...

and the radical Moslem cleric
who ordered the assassanition of Anwar Sadat.

Yes he is counting on it but he listens way too much to CNN ( Communist News Network) and we don't have a draft dodger for President anymore. We have real men, Bush, Cheney,Rumsfled etc. leading this war.

What the public has to learn is this is not a 2 hour movie. It is going to go on for probably a long time if it is done right.

I hope we take out all the terrorists cells, and then have it set up with the military to keep taking out new ones as they rise up.

Let the entire world know NO one messes with America.

You have some good points in your post. I just pray that Bush and the rest will be strong and that the public will start to think for themselves for a change and not believe what the horrible media is trying to convey.

Thanks so much for your post.

Not even close to on topic, but I had to find somewhere to post it:

8 And I looked, and behold a pale* horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Excellent post! So good I registered just to reply. The pale horse is believed to be Muhammad in the Eastern Churches. He's considered a precursor to the antichrist if not the antichrist himself.

Very cool info... Can you source that at all?

On Diane Sawyer's 20/20 interview with bin Laden's sister-in-law the other night, the background story made mention that bin Laden's father had built much of the shrine around Mecca.

That's how he made his billions...restoring the so-called holy places and shrines of islam. The Saudi royal family awarded the contracts and paid handsomely.

I can never read that passage without remembering Pale Rider. Clint rides up just as the girl gets done reading the verse. Ominous symbolism.

We're comin' for you Achmed.

Wow. You gotta find that wav file, jrjr...

Too cool to pass up.

[Sabertooth]

growl!

[Keme]

Yes, I'll try to look for a reference tonight.

Sorry, I can't seem to find it written anywhere. It's something I've always known growing up. I'm Coptic and don't think anyone in my church would dare put it to paper for obvious reasons.

After a year of lurking, it's good to finally be a registered Freeper.

Is Saddam Hussein the Reincarnation of the Chaldean Emperor Nebuchadnezzar?
Is it his destiny to sack Jerusalem, destroy Israel, and kill and capture the Jews?
