Legal disclaimer This image depicts the shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith. Use of this image is permitted and should not be confused with or mistaken for symbols associated with terrorism.
Some versions of the shahada, particularly those used on flags by groups such as al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas, or the "Islamic State", including affiliated organizations, are banned in countries such as Germany, Russia, Austria, the People's Republic of China, and others due to their association with extremist activity.
Can we permanently lock the flag on this one? The Flag has officially been standardized by the official website saudiflag.sa as can be seen in the attached sources. The same guy keeps coming back to bring a new version and upload it! It’s my own country’s flag and I keep up with its changes. This is the official flag of Saudi Arabia, so please stop changing it every now and then.
