Bangladeshi Flag

[kobiraaz]

I know this is a stupid thread. Secularist people may find it hilarious.

I love our Green And Red Flag. But It lacks a vital sign of our identity. Moon and Star.

Most of the Muslim countries have stars and moon/Islamic sign on their flag......

I know our flag was designed by a Hindu "Shib Narayan Das" ........ So its normal that he intentionally avoided moon or star and designed a sun.

I just want to know opinion of BD members.... what do you think?????

this was designed by Shib Narayan Das.

I think foundation of Bangladesh is Bengali ethnicity maybe that's the reason.

 

[Haroon rafeeq]

No it is not necessary to have moon and stars on flag. And your red colour on flag, what this represents

wrong! Its propaganda. Some people say our foundation is ethnicity or Secularism which is inaccurate. It was actually " Justice, freedom and democracy "

every color has significance in hinduism...no one has monopoly on any color..

No it is not necessary to have moon and stars on flag. And your red colour on flag, what this represents

well, Red represents blood. It also represents rising sun over green Bangladesh.....

Thank god, our beautiful Pakistan flag, where Bangladeshis want to steal moon and star, not really Muslim countries have this examples i.e Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Libya etc.

The green color has nothing to do with religion. The green represents the lushness of our forests, and the red represents the rising sun to signify revolution.

Countries like Kuwait, Jordan, Indonesia, Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt, Cameroon, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, Palestinian Territories, Brunei, etc do not have the moon and star. In fact, the moon and star was originally a pagan symbol and does not strictly identify Islam at all.

The Islamic flag is this:

That is inscribed on the flag of Saudi Arabia.

You really lack relevant knowledge and history on your own religion Oh well, I don't blame you

 

[Dalai Lama]

I think it looks nice. Don't ruin it.

 

[kobiraaz]

Clearly, you are too young to understand in long history and weak knowledges. You should stop listening to some people says this and that.

Whyislam.org Forums: Where did Islam obtain its symbol of the crescent

So the claims of some that a pagan moon god was named Allah in Mecca has nothing to do with Islam. This claim is baseless? It is just a coincidence. Correct? The crescent moon symbolism just depended on the geography of the time of where folks lived due to the ottoman empire.
