Mother Jones is not afraid to say we're part of the fight, as Monika Bauerlein writes in her unpacking of the war on democracy and how MoJo must shine a bright light on those trying to undermine it with everything we've got in 2022.īut we need your help to do it: December is the most important month of the year for bringing in the donations that fuel our reporting and we've got an urgent goal of raising $350,000 online by December 31. And journalists had better start shouting it from the rooftops-because we could also help save it. That's the Big Story right now: We could literally lose our democracy. We came a lot closer to an overturned election last year than we ever knew. Here’s a brief guide (although it’s important to note that many Islamic militant groups use more than one flag):īy signing up, you agree to our privacy policy and terms of use, and to receive messages from Mother Jones and our partners. Because of this-and the fact that few Westerners can read Arabic-it’s easy to mix up Islamic flags, extremist and otherwise. As Soufan notes, an Islamic hadith says that horsemen bearing black flags will ride from the historic Islamic city of Khurasan toward Jerusalem on the eve of the apocalypse: “Black banners will appear from the East and they will kill you in a way that has never before been done by a nation.” Many Islamic flags-especially those of militant groups-are black in reference to this hadith. “It’s not a coincidence that bin Laden made Al Qaeda’s flag black,” former FBI agent Ali Soufan writes in The Black Banners, his history of the fight against Al Qaeda. Many Islamic flags look alike for a reason. In Sydney, the “ISIS” flag in the window was actually a simple black flag bearing the shahada. The ISIS flag features the shahada, but most flags with the shahada on them are not ISIS flags. The Jersey man had flown the flag for 10 years, and insisted (correctly) that it had nothing to do with ISIS.
Over the summer, a New Jersey resident was pressured to take down a black flag bearing the shahada, or Islamic declaration of faith (“There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God”) after someone reported it to the Department of Homeland Security. In August, members of the Kurdish community mistook a Palestinian flag with Islamic declarations on it for the ISIS flag, resulting in a violent fight. Islamic groups, terrorist and otherwise, have adopted many different flags with Arabic script on them over the years. When an armed assailant seized control of a café in downtown Sydney on Monday morning and forced two hostages to hold a black flag with Arabic script up to the window, many observers were quick to claim that ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic State that now dominates about a third of Iraq and Syria, was involved.
