Black.

This is coolbert:

From the previous blog entry:

"Black has some special martial significance to the Muslim?"

"The color black is a very significant color in the Islamic tradition. It is linked to both the battle flag of Muhammad (al-rawa) and to the medieval Abbasid Caliphate. In this sense, it most often represents jihad and the caliphate, evoking a historical sense of both concepts. Black is also used to show religious adherence and strict piety in both the Sunni and Shiite traditions . . . In jihadi imagery the color black is usually employed to emphasize the importance (or occurrence) of jihad and evokes sentiments regarding the perceived need to re-establish the Sunni caliphate"

The re-establishment of the Caliphate is something that Osama so dearly desires. The umma [Islamic nation world-wide], residing under the rule of a sovereign who is ordained so under Islamic law [sharia]! The Caliphate is a Sunni concept, not Shia? Hezbollah recall is Shia!

Jihad in the sense as understood by Hezbollah meaning war - - battle - - and not the striving for inner perfection and control!!

NO mention here of those dressed in black as being prospective candidates or volunteers for martyrdom operations [suicide bomber]!!
