A few months ago I reported that Egyptian "antiquities expert" Dr. Rahim Rihan claimed that the Star of David was originally a Muslim symbol but the Jews stole it - in the 17th century.

Al Fajer TV and other Arab media report that Rihan has added to his theory, saying that Saladin used the six-pointed star in a castle in Ras Sudr 230 kilometers from Cairo:


Saladin lived in the 12th century.

The funny part is that some of the other Arab media that picked up this story, like Raya.ps, illustrated it with this star:

Which is, as I had previously pointed out, the front of the Leningrad Codex Hebrew Bible - which predates Saladin by 150 years!

However, another site has scientific proof that the star really originates from the Mahdi. I cannot say I understand the proof, but apparently if you write some Arabic letters (I think Mohammed with an extra M) in a circle in a certain way, they sort of make something approaching what might slightly resemble a six pointed star if the lighting is bad. Here is the proof in black and white:


See? it is so obvious!

It is endlessly amusing that people who claim that Jews are stealing their culture are so obsessed with, well, stealing the culture of Jews.

  1. There are so many different symbols are repeated in different places in different nations history. There is no way to know who invented the shape and it's not important. But the fact is that one nation has adopted it as a national symbol and the others used it as just a beautiful shape. So the argument totally superfluous.
