The Attack on the British Embassy--Note the Color of the Flags

A couple articles on the attack by Iranian "protesters" on the British embassy in Tehran. First, from the Guardian. Another from the Daily Mail.

I'm not going to discuss the event, itself, or the threats of serious consequences from the British. Rather, direct your attention to the flags carried by some of the protesters.

(Source: the Daily Mail article cited above).

In Joel Richardson's book, Anti-Christ--Islam's Awaited Messiah, he explains:

In Islam there are two flags. One is white and one is black. Written across both flags in Arabic are the words, "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger." The white flag is called Al-Liwaa and serves as the sign for the leader of the Muslim army and is the flag of the Islamic state. The black flag is called Ar-Raya and is used by the Muslim army. It is also called the flag of jihad, and is carried into battle. One flag is governmental and the other is a military flag. When Muhammad returned to his home city of Mecca after being exiled for eight years, he returned as a conqueror. with him were ten thousand Muslim soldiers. They carried with them black flags. On the flags was one word written in Arabic: punishment.
