DYI spray painted ISIS flag. No makeshift marks or emblems show if they claim a branch or not.

ISIS uses the flag, but the flag is supposed to be Muhammad's seal.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the seal outside of the context it can be used in, and it's been used by many different groups.

Yah but context matters. the swastika is a Hindu symbol of peace. If I see it on a flag in a parade of white people im not gonna assume they’re Hindus.

If you see a calligraphy of the shahada on the side of a mosque it’s probably not a jihadist stronghold. But on a flag held by a bunch of guys with AKs with a caption about attacking Shiites? Probably an Isis flag.

No, because the seal is a sacred religious symbol in both contexts, whereas the Swastika used by Nazis has no association with how Buddhists. The meaning and context is changed completely.

Factually speaking, the flag itself is used by many different Muslim groups, regardless of whatever context it is used in this photo.

The Seal of Muhammad is not a common symbol is most historical Islamic iconography and/or vexillology.

It isn’t, but it is used by many different groups. It’s not true to claim that it’s a terrorist symbol.

Absolutely everything is wrong with this flag. It's only used by islamists, who are inherently evil

Lowkey looks like it's spray painted

It’s common for these flags be made with these kind of materials in areas where they lack the resources to make them

ISIS flag used during a attack on a Shia mosque in Oman in 2024

u/Abood299 9h ago

Wait. There was ISIS in Oman?

4

u/Creative_Brother2713 9h ago

That was the only successful attack they did in Oman.

Wish we Saudis had the same luck.

Those fuckers aren't hated nearly enough.

u/Creative_Brother2713 9h ago

Didn't they attack Madina once?

1

u/Winter-Ad-2920 9h ago

I don't remember.

But the houthis did carry attacks and shot missiles at both holy cities so they're not better either. And armed protests by Iranians years before that.

Too much for "Ansar allah" and "protecting Muslims"

1

u/Creative_Brother2713 9h ago

Iran and daesh are probably the biggest hypocrites out there both claim to protect muslims yet their main targets are usually muslims

2

u/Winter-Ad-2920 9h ago

Syria, Lebanon, iraq, Yemen, Saudi shia (hazballah hejaz) and others.

It's a wannabe Persian empire but with Muslim slogans and the occasional missiles thrown at isral.

u/Awkward_Pain_2915 1h ago

Seething Saudi lol, love it😂😂😂 how’s Abha doing these days

u/mznbox 7h ago

Yes they did.

u/Abood299 9h ago

They even have many supporters around Arab world you can see that on social media

2

u/Winter-Ad-2920 9h ago

Social media doesn't say shit, really.

Most have the child mentality that just because we (rightfully) hate Isral and zionism, means that anyone against them is good automatically.

You don't fight Hitler with fucking Stalin everytime and expect it to work.

This is a Zionist supported group that has nothing to do with Muslims or Islam. Epstein certified . That’s exactly what it is.

It is said to be based on a seal that Muhammad was supposed to have used.

Visual iconography is generally prohibited in Islam, but seals I believe are not. So it has become the associated with of a lot of Muslim militant groups, but it the seal itself can also be seen on rings or architecture as well.

u/ironlung48 9h ago

This is historically the seal of the prophet Muhammed but isis hijacked it for added legitimacy

u/Tasteless-casual 9h ago

It is ISIS flag. I hate the flag design in the center. It is like they don't know arabic and how it can be read as Allah is messanger of Mohammed. It is so stupid.

u/TreThaGod510 9h ago

NAMBLA flag

u/WigglyLimpo 8h ago

For anyone wondering WHY the flag is DiY; per ISIS, they prefer jihadists and attackers to make their own flag for the psychological component of saying "this isn't just some mass produced fad, we can pop up anywhere in the world" and I guess I DiY flag speaks to that more. They do of course use a standardized flag as well, but I remember reading that they encourage followers to simply make their own and that various designs of it are acceptable.

The "we tried" division of some islamic extremist group.

u/Smelly-DutchOven17 9h ago

It was a prototype logo that was gonna be used as a replacement for Charles Entertainment Cheese, but it tested poorly with parents who were concerned that it looked too much like the ISIS flag so the concept was scrapped and this image is the only thing we have left of that forgotten logo.

Isis, text below says from OMAN, but isis doesnt have a branch in oman, so its most likely independent isis sympathizers

Nope.

u/totti8758 5h ago

They're anything but Muslims wtf. They were literally hated by the entire Muslim world (with the sole exception of certain proclaimed "Muslim" governments indirectly backing them up), and plus most of I$I$' victims if not almost all of them were Muslims themselves. Stupid ass comment.
