Isis flag irony

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5112 | I searched google a bit and found nothing. But I can't be the only one who has noticed the ISIS flag has the word "Jews" in English, right in the middle of the circle portion. Ironically of course, I have to assume; the flag has no English. But it strikes me every time I see it.  I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5112 | I am picturing other members googling this and finding nothing too. This amazes me, like "ew! that guy is weird he noticed that" sort of like looking at a Rorschach ink blotch and saying it looks like something that makes everybody think I'm a nut. But it looks like that to me for sure! Nothing really comes up in the search, although this thread does! PS: in that language you read right to left I think, making it even more ironic. At least I am assuming that is not supposed to read "jews" I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

You found one that looks like something controversial. Shit happens. Or would you prefer I think of you as a crazy nut? Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

| Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941 | I haven't commented out of ignorance. I have no idea what Isis is, and am only vaguely familiar with it enough to know it's something from over in the violent desert. Another advantage of having no TV ;) A quick Google search revealed some sort of wallet, the Institute for Science and International Security (meh), and the International Species Information System (hmm). So yay! for remaining in the dark =) Ignorance is bliss =) If it makes you feel any better, I obviously see the "jews". Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 265 | BTW: Me too. But I doubt if I would have noticed it if it hadn't been mentioned. And I'm with Face: I have no idea what Isis is. Nor do I care. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

| 24Bingo Member since: Sep 4, 2013 Threads: 0 Posts: 6 | Um... no. I don't find it ironic that the name "Mohammad" is on a flag. And since I'm getting no results in quotes for either "Mohammad looks like Jews" or "Muhammad looks like Jews," I'm guessing you're pretty much alone. I do, however, find it nicely ironic that we've basically accidentally named a band of Islamic fundamentalists after a pagan goddess. So there's that. (I'm actually surprised they haven't complained... as far as I know.) |
