EBOLA, GREEN SHIRTS and ISLAM

It's been mentioned many times here that every Ebola victim that is put in front of a camera at least, is wearing a green shirt or something green is in the shot.

Green is also the official color of Islam.
The claim is that it goes back to Muhammed and green was his favorite color.

"Because it was supposedly Mohammed's favorite color. The Islamic prophet is said to have worn a green cloak and turban, and his writings are full of references to the color. A passage from the Quran describes paradise as a place where people "will wear green garments of fine silk." One hadith, or teaching, says, "When Allah's Apostle died, he was covered with a Hibra Burd," which is a green square garment. As a result, you'll see green used to color the binding of Qurans, the domes of mosques, and, yes, campaign materials."

Green has other properties, too, that make it a natural fit for Islam and the Middle East. It's a symbol of nature and life—especially potent in the dry desert. Mohammed invoked this connection when he wrote about a folkloric figure called al-Khidr, or "the Green One," who symbolizes immortality. (Al-Khidr may have been an inspiration for the Arthurian character of the Green Knight, who in one story is described as worshipping Mohammed.) At least one commentator has speculated that because green is in the middle of the color spectrum and Mohammed preached moderation, one complements the other. (The Quran describes the Muslim community as "the midmost nation.") <50% snip from [link to www.slate.com]


This I found to be quite interesting:

Al-Khidr - The Green Man

Al-Khidr, which translates as "the Green Man," is a pre-Islamic prophet or angelic messenger who is also revered in Islam as the teacher of Moses in Sura 18 of the Quran. He is referred to as "the verdant one" and paintings depict him wearing a green coat and standing on top of a fish to carry him across the river of life. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam, the fact that al-Khidr wore green associated the color with immortality from drinking water at a miraculous spring. Through him the color also became associated in Islam with fertility. The Green Man is particularly inspiring to Sufis, because in the stories about him, he has considerable knowledge of mysticism and is able to reveal truths through unconventional means.

Anyhow there is no shortage of documentation about Islam and the color green.

I'll leave it at that for now, I just find it odd that no one has made the connection. Or at least not that I've seen.

Oh, just one more thing; -What it says to me......PSYOP.
