In college I took an iconography course in which we learned to study symbols and their meanings. Now that the Arab League is finally dealing with the problems in their back yard, they raise their flag.
Green is a color reserved for heaven in some Moslem sects, but look at the device... a laurel wreath, a Roman device, surrounding a chain, which encloses Arabic scripture and a crescent moon, a symbol for Islam which was acquired from Christianity, a symbol for the Virgin, when Constantinople fell.
That is how a Christian would read it, I wonder how a Moslem would read the symbol.
