I believe it's very irresponsible of Saudi Arabia to have the Kalima on their flag.

@RoCKiSTaN

Isn't it pronounced "kalma" and not "kalima" or have I been saying it wrong the entire time?

There is a zer *(arabic: kasrah*) under the laam.

Only Muslims know that the Kalima is sacred which also makes anything it is written on sacred. Because the flag has kalima on it, it cannot be put on the ground, or mishandled. Imagine all the countries where the Saudi flag is hoisted, do you think they know or care to handle it properly? I have seen the Saudi flag being waved around during soccer games. That is the height of disrespect to the Kalima. Not only that, but it gets printed in books, newspapers and magazines. Do you think anyone cares to handle those properly?

Saudi Arabia should have thought about this before putting it on their flag. There is no requirement to put the Kalima on the flag. I don’t think anyone is getting any special blessing by having it on their flag.

there r alot o fthings that only muslims know ho wto do so wat u say that we stop doing all that??

only muslims know how sacred quran is but still it is disrespected by alot of non muslims

stop making the books just because they can be disrespected??

stop being muslims cuz others dont like it and disrespect the religion??

It seems that Saudi flag follows a very strict flag code, so all the speculations about the Saudi Flag desecration may not be true

The flag of Saudi Arabia bears the shahada or Islamic declaration of faith. Because the shahada is considered holy, Saudi Arabia’s flag code is extremely strict and even the slightest violation amounts to desecration not only of the flag but also of Islam itself. This has led to several incidents of controversy. In 1994, McDonald’s printed carry-out bags bearing the flags of all nations participating in the FIFA World Cup, while Coca-Cola did the same on cans of soda. Because of Saudi outrage, the companies stopped producing those items. [6] Also during the FIFA World Cup, in 2002, Saudi officials protested against printing the flag on a football on the belief that kicking the creed with the foot was totally unacceptable.

The Saudi Arabian flag is only allowed for official purposes. Private citizens can fly a plain green flag with a golden palm tree over two crossed swords in the upper fly corner.

We have a World Cup promotion poster in Japan which shows 32 national people with their national flag paintings on their faces. Only Saudi Arabia does not use the national flag but a green flag charged with a yellow palm above two crossed swords.

This post of TLK should end the discussion. TDW raised very valid concerns. Looks like KSA govt. is aware of the repercussion of using Kalima on the flag and they are vigilant about making sure that it is not disrespect in any way.
