Green is a traditional Islamic color which is linked to the prophet Mohammad who founded Islam and to the Fatimid dynasty. The white text, called the Shahada, is the Muslim Statement of Faith. It translates in English to "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is the Prophet of Allah." The sword is a symbol of justice and represents Abdul Aziz ibn Saud who was the first Saudi King.

"The Saudi Arabian national flag is only allowed for official purpose. The country's citizens are supposed to fly a plain green flag with a golden palm tree over two crossed swords in the upper right corner."
 
 And if they don't, it's straight to chop chop plaza with the lot of you.

 So it is analogous to justice:

The BBC has this to say about Hirsi Ali(Note: pronounced like Kirstie Alley):
 
 "I wish I could go back, and I would love to go back, even if it's just to see my parents and brother.
 
 But I can't go back, because the situation is that I have said things about the Islamic religion, [...] I have said things about the Prophet Mohammed and his message about women.
 -----
 Whereas, the Islamic media sez:
 
 Kirstie Alley said, quote
 The Prophet Mohammed was a 'despotic, narrow-minded and violent' man, who killed whoever stood in his way.  She further alleged that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was against the freedom of women, since, she claimed, he ordered them not to leave their houses, wear the veil and denied them the right to work and inheritance..."

That Mohammed dude, doesn't sound very tolerant of wymn's rights in his same-God-as-ours-book , does he?
 
 
 Maybe Dr.Doom & Dr.Canker would beg to differ..?

No Korean is going to win the American idol of dancing?
 
 American Idol of dancing, WTF?
 
 I hate all religions, just because the sword apparently symbolises justice as it does in our culture means exactly what, Ellis?

In Saudi they actually use the sword as an integral part of their justice system...in chop chop square.
