I can't help with traslation, but I can say that this is REALLY FASCINATING!!!!

Spunjer · 23rd August 2008, 02:04 PM

yes indeedy, flavio. at first i thought it was a small flag. when it was laid out in front of me, i was surprise to see it was about 5ft by 10 ft or so.

Flavio · 23rd August 2008, 03:14 PM

Do you think that the stains can be blood.....?

Spunjer · 24th August 2008, 02:31 AM

it kinda looks it, but then again, it could just be grease. i guess unless it's subjected to a CSI type test, we may never know.

Try a bit of hydrogen peroxide on an area; if the stain disappears it may well be blood .

Spunjer · 24th August 2008, 12:51 PM

hi rick,
the flag actually belongs to a museum which i was fortunate enough to be given access to take a close up picture of.

Rick · 24th August 2008, 03:36 PM

Well, so much for that idea .

It's written in an Arabic language.
'Laa ilahailallah Muhammad rasulallah fatu ala aliallah bi huwa inni fanuj saraf shulton Muhammad salim. As kinalu qudrattillah faharuddin.'

Translation in English :

'There is no God but Allah and Muhmammad is the prophet, victory is destine by Allah and so saviour to Muhammad's followers.'

Translation in Indonesia :

'Tiada Tuhan selain Allah dan Muhammad adalah utusan Allah, kemenangan adalah atas kehendak Allah SWT dan keselamatan bagi para pengikut Muhammad SAW.'

I hope it helps...

Hi Spunjer

just a "try" because, it's not in clear Arabic language
but may be that will give ideas to some Man of Letters

I put a translation, or what seems to us, straight on the pic
as it's a mix between arab/occidental writting, and english

here what "should be "the sense" of those sentences
Allah, there's only one God and Muhammed
is his Messenger, « faitoo » ( ?) on (upon) Ali
Allah ?????????????????????? Ashraf
Sultan Mohammed ???????? Skandar ????
God respecting him for his pride of the religion

Ashraf, Skandar should be names, but to be confirmed

sorry, to don't be better

Spunjer, if the flag belongs to a museum I think they can ask a collaboration with police for a CSI analysis to see if the stains are blood... Here in italy sometimes the museums ask the police for some particular analiysis an they made them for free... it's a collaboration between institutions. Even if, IMHO, to discover if the stains are blood does not add nothing to the story of the flag
