Database: Identifiers of Designated Islamic Terrorist Organizations
Liwa Dhu al-Fiqar Banner
"Oh Ali: Liwa Dhu al-Fiqar defending the holy sites in Iraq and al-Sham [Syria/the Levant]." The 'Iraq and al-Sham' reference is an implicit dig at the Islamic State, which previously called itself 'The Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham.' Importantly also it reflects how Shi'a militias that have deployed to Syria see Iraq-Syria as one battlefield. Related Categories: Flags, Iraq, Liwa Dhu al-Fiqar, Social Media, Syria
