Title: Flag of Libya
Post by: Eiki-mun on July 05, 2014, 07:38:10 am: I'm really not sure where to put this, like, at all, but I saw it, and I couldn't help but want to comment. Sue me if you don't agree. I have 7 proxi-- lawyers. Lawyers.

Have you ever actually looked at the Libyan flag?

It's green. That's it, just green. How... how do you make a flag that looks like this?

Then midway through typing this, I realize that it's not even Libya's flag anymore... fuck it, still posting it. It's 4:30 AM and I'm buzzed, I cannot be held responsible.

Green is the colour of Islam. Why, I don't know.

Green is the colour of Islam because according to the Hadith it was the Prophet's favourite colour. Although there is a suggestion that Islam adopted green as part of co-opting aspects of Zorastriansim and non-zorastrian (Mihr) Iranian culture.
