Fancruft? Patent nonsense?

Ah. Heh. Wow, I feel like a hopeless jackass now for asking that. Really ought to have known better, what with the vexillology hobby and all.

[edit] Thul fiqar?
I'm thinking of removing the spelling thul fiqar, because I think the 'th' may be a mistake for 'dh'. Prater 15:40, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] No given names, please.
I've removed mentions of personalities bearing the name Zulfiqar. As noted with the edit, this is becoming a self-glorifying pamphlet... just having similar names, or having being named after the sword should not warrant inclusion, regardless of credintials.
[edit] ذوالفقار is the correct spelling
The correct Arabic spelling is ذوالفقار . It begins with "Dhaal" ذ and not "Zaay" ز. Most people think it begins with ز becuase a popular nickname "Zulfi" is often written with ز and not ذ, thus confusing most. ذ is the correct letter. Another common similar word beginning with ذ is the Quranic name for Alexander the Great, called Dhul'Qarnain ( ذوالقرنين )
Total letters are 8
ذ + و + ا + ل + ف + ق + ا + ر
There is always a silent ا "alef" before ل "laam".
[edit] what happened to it?
taken as booty at Karbala? lost before it became a legendary icon? stolen by mongols? what are the traditions? —Charles P._(Mirv) 01:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
lost in history i guess.....would be crazy cool to see it.
This is a very good question, indeed. Because in the article it seems as if it was destroyed, lost or whatever, but at the end of this video [1] you can see it in a museum... At least they claim it is Zulfiqar... But maybe just a replica... Don´t know...
[edit] Zulfiqar
Is it in any of the museums of the world?
[edit] Swastika?
Why is there a flag with a swastika on the right hand border of this page? Could someone remove that?
