#1 "I recommend that you don't publish these. You will bring trouble to yourself.”

So which is it Mahmoud: are you proud of the flag you are flying and want everyone to know that your flag is flying, or are you afraid that flying your flag will cause trouble?

Oh, sorry, too many words in that question?

#6 That flag is a general jihadist flag. It is called the Black Standard, the Black Banner, or the Banner of the Eagle. It is used by many different hardline groups that are aligned with fundamentalist Islam. AQ certainly does use it - but it's not theirs exclusively. Here is a link:
