Except that flag says "There is no god but God … allah and Allah. allah is simply the word for god/God in arabic. Koran holds that it's the exact same god as in the Judaeo-Christian tradition.

I see…so, then your saying that what they really mean is analogous to, "There was no Reich, like the Third Reich. And Hitler was it's prophet."

Ellis: sometimes you come across as quite the dim bulb.

———–

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
l can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

He has sounded form the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

Green is a traditional Islamic color which is linked to the prophet Mohammad who founded Islam and to the Fatimid dynasty. The white text, called the Shahada, is the Muslim Statement of Faith. It translates in English to "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is the Prophet of Allah." The sword is a symbol of justice and represents Abdul Aziz ibn Saud who was the first Saudi King.

Goes great next to the US flag on the bumper of your Tahoe!

"The Saudi Arabian national flag is only allowed for official purpose. The country's citizens are supposed to fly a plain green flag with a golden palm tree over two crossed swords in the upper right corner."

And if they don't, it's straight to chop chop plaza with the lot of you.

Thanks Greivous,


So it is analogous to justice:

The BBC has this to say about Hirsi Ali(Note: pronounced like Kirstie Alley):

"I wish I could go back, and I would love to go back, even if it's just to see my parents and brother.

But I can't go back, because the situation is that I have said things about the Islamic religion, […] I have said things about the Prophet Mohammed and his message about women.
—–
Whereas, the Islamic media sez:

Kirstie Alley said, quote
The Prophet Mohammed was a 'despotic, narrow-minded and violent' man, who killed whoever stood in his way. She further alleged that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was against the freedom of women, since, she claimed, he ordered them not to leave their houses, wear the veil and denied them the right to work and inheritance…"

Maybe Dr.Doom & Dr.Canker would beg to differ..?

No Korean is going to win the American idol of dancing?

American Idol of dancing, WTF?

I hate all religions, just because the sword apparently symbolises justice as it does in our culture means exactly what, Ellis?

In Saudi they actually use the sword as an integral part of their justice system…in chop chop square.

debating with people who were educated by talk radio and the internet is not a good use of time.
