Iran Raises Red Flag Over ‘Messianic Mosque’ Declaring ‘End-of-Days’ War’ for First Time Ever

A chilling sight appeared on Sunday as a red flag, symbolizing a call for vengeance, appeared over the Holy Dome Jamkarān Mosque in Qom, Iran. The call has end-of-days significance as the mosque is dedicated to the “Final Imam” the Shiite Muslims believe is the Mahdi, the messianic figure that will appear alongside Isa, the Muslim Jesus, killing all the infidels in order to prepare the world for the ultimate arrival of the Messiah.

The red flag, raised in response to a U.S. drone strike at Baghdad International Airport that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani, read: “Those who want to avenge the blood of Husayn.”

In Shia Muslim traditions, flags are a significant part of the mourning rituals. Red flags in Shiite tradition symbolize blood spilled unjustly and serve as a call to avenge a person who was slain. The flag was hoisted above the important Jamkaran Mosque which is on the outskirts of the holy city of Qom, about 100 miles south of Tehran.

Considering the semiotics there, we have our first, official response to the dotard's action and it is not good at all.

He even seems to have given them some real fuel for initiating violence and war in regards to their beliefs.

Match meet gunpowder.
