You’re probably familiar with the idea of a jihadist flag flying over the White House. Anjem Choudry<\/strong>, the British radical Islamist preacher told Christiane Amanpour<\/strong> on ABC This Week<\/strong><\/a> a while back:<\/p>\n

Indeed, we believe that one day the flag of Islam will fly over the White House. Indeed, there’s even a narration of the prophet where he said that ‘the Judgment will not come until a group of my Ummah conquered the White House’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve dealt with this hadith before<\/a> as it happens, and pointed out that in one telling the Prophet is asked which “white palace” he’s referring to and replies that he’s referring to the palace of Khosrau (Chosroes) I of Persia:<\/p>\n

Jabir b. Samura said: <\/p>\n

I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say on Friday evening, the day on which Ma\u2019ez al-Aslami was stoned to death (for committing adultery): A small force of the Muslims will capture the white house. I said: Kisra? he replied Kisra.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

**<\/p>\n

Never mind, Choudary thinks the jihadist flag will fly over the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue — and like-minded protesters in New York even carried a photoshopped image of the concept (below) as a placard at a 2006 rally in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

**<\/p>\n

Hey! Put those two ideas together — a little “more of the same” photoshopping should do the trick — and you’d have a magnificent end to the Cold War<\/em>, eh? <\/p>\n

Maybe that’s what Choudary meant when he said, earlier in the same conversation with Amanpour:<\/p>\n

Well, just let me say that Islam has a solution for all of the problems that mankind faces. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I suppose that’s one way to avoid a clash of civilizations — have just one guy holding both cymbals, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
