Reverse of the state/military flag

No information about the sword?! - Eagleamn 10:44, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Use on other items

Although pictures are hard to come by the flag is quite clearly displayed on the aircraft of the Royal Saudi Air Force.

There is no "la" at the beginning of the phrase.

[edit] IFIS Code

I am changing the IFIS code from "Image:IFIS_Two-sided.png" (Flag has different designs on its obverse side and its reverse side) to "Image:IFIS_Equal.png" (Reverse side is congruent to obverse side). The design on the back isn't different, it's just not reflected. On the flags of USA, France, Australia, etc, the design goes from hoist to fly, so it's reflected on the reverse. On the Saudi flag, the design is text, so it runs right to left on both sides. -- Randall Bart <wiki@randallbart.com> 00:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah, but the sword is reflected, such that it always points from hoist to fly, making the two sides different. Doesn't that aspect, combined with the non-reflected text, make it "Image:IFIS_Two-sided.png"? --ScottMainwaring 15:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes. JPD (talk) 13:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله

This looks nothing like the inscription on the flag. Is this really it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.89.165.90 (talk) 22:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] No civil flag?

The page implies that the flag, on land, is restricted to use by state and military institutions. Is there no flag approved for civilian use ()? --ScottMainwaring 15:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

For the civil flag, see an older version of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flag_of_Saudi_Arabia&oldid=83524108 Fvdham 12:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disposal

How do Saudis dispose of old flags? Is burying or burning the creed acceptable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.91.136 (talk) 22:12, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
