Do you know that most of the Muslims in the world today are not Arabs? Saudi Arabia is a country, its not Islam. Its their choice to put whatever they like on the flag. It does not necessarily have to signify islam's message.
On the other hand, if you look at it impartially whats wrong with a sword? It signifies bravery and a fight against oppressors? Does the sword bother you only because its on the flag of a Muslim country? I guess it would be OK if a western country decides to make nukes on their flag then they would be "showing resistence against "terrorists", right?

Arabs carried a sword in a cover attached to their 'thob' long before Islam. Islam taught them how to use it and control properly. It was their tradition and nothing to do with Islam.
The "base flag" of Saudi Arabia, the shahada or Islamic profession of faith ("There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Prophet of God") on solid green was an old flag, The sword was added in 1902, when Abdul Aziz ibn Abdul Rahman Al Saud established himself as Sultan of the Nejd.
In 1925, Abdulaziz established himself as King of the Nejd and Hejaz, with unknown flag alterations. (The King of Hejaz, Hussein, had used the Arab Revolt Flag).
When the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was established in 1932, the earlier Nejdi flag continued, though variants are shown with two swords, with a white stripe toward the hoist, etc.
Later again this was made in to single sword as seen today. It is their tradition and not Islamic. Many other Muslim countires use various and differant flags. Usually in India and Pakistan, we have crescent moon with a star above. It does not mean some thing as Muslims will occupy the moon or blow away the stars.

If you see Saudi flag The Kalema is above sword, not underneath sword.
Did you get the message?
Further this flag is not symbol of Islam it is for a country.
In Islam there is no King Ship. Islam promotes wise democracy, but again not wild democracy as it is popular in most of the world now a days.
There are more Muslim populated countries other then Saudi Arabia, in Far east and other then Arab Areas.

Well, as a Saudi, I am telling you that our flag has nothing to do with representation of Islam, it represents our beliefs and how Saudi Arabia was united.
Islam is not the religion of peace, it is the religion of logic, the religion of practicality... Yes it does promote peace... but that's not what it is all about, it is just.
so, what are u exactly trying to prove?

A white dove represents death in some cultures?
As a Christian I know my God is rightoues and will judge all mankind when the the Lord comes again. Do you think he will embrace all those that have judged and caused great harm?
My God is of love, but he also hates certain things. You have to have a line drawn after all, you cant love everything? Like rape, murder etc etc.
Bless You.

lol. good question
maybe they feel that protecting their country comes before
peace.. this makes sense right. cuz if they didn't protect their country then wouldn't have one
ex) the rape of naking
china has mainly buddist and confuisism people right?
well. in 1937 when the japanese decided to take over the world.. starting with china..
since most of the people are peaceful and crap
most didn't have weapons.. so the japanese
rape everyone.cut them into pieces. decapitated them. forced family members to have sex with each other. had them eatten by dogs. cut off their heads..etc
(19 million chinese died overall in china b/c of the invation)
kinda off topic.. but i can kinda see why they would want to protect their country. but the sword is a little too much

The sowrd it means ( AL JEEHAD ) that means to go to and fight people who hurted them without any reason like ( QOORAIESH ) and that means how Muslims are brave and how they love their relegion and they are ready to do anything for it even to die and this is better than putting a dove because the word ALLAH or ( God ) is the peace so why do we need to put it if we have already put the word (ALLAH)

My dear fellow,
Saudi Arabia is not the sole agent of Islam .It is just a country where Islam was originated.So there can be a sowrd and you have to understand that it comes from culture and tradition but not from religion .Arabia was famous for Sowrd and its heir symbol of Nationalism.
onother example in Asia Donkey is consedered as a symbol of great dumb or fool but in USA this is a symbol of a political Party .
So I can ask are the party is as fool as a donkey

Flags of countries are not related to religions and are cultural only, Saudia Arabia is not a representative of the Islamic world and her flag does not matter.
We see countries putting Eagles, lions, Volcanoes on their flags.. Are their religions evil? Why don't they put roses, small kittens, and lollipops?
Ecuador's Flag is an eagle carrying an axe; why not a baby carrying a toy?
And there's the "Flag of Kingdom of Benin" which is a man slaughtering another's neck!! :D:D Search for it if you don't believe!!!
