The unbreakable flag

When we were young, and the card game “Q and C” was our favorite game in testing our knowledge, and we pride ourselves on knowing its information among our peers, we used to treat its information as a real test that we would enter, and the competition between us and peers was fierce. One of the most frequently asked questions was: “What is the country whose flag is not lowered?” This information that we have memorized by heart after we have investigated and investigated the meaning of “returned”, and why not. We grew up and our memory embraced this information that we are proud of in every place and time, and we now cite it in expression classes when we are asked to write about the National Day.

What I knew after I got older was that it was an article of the Saudi flag system. The article affirms that the national flag may not be flown at half-mast, and the flag should not touch the surface of the land and water. Because it carries the banner of unification. The third article of the system of government in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia indicated that the state flag is green, its width is equal to two-thirds of its length, and in the middle is the word (There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God), under which is a drawn sword, and the flag is never lowered. This glory of the flag makes one feel proud of the true value of the country’s symbol.

In the past few days, we have celebrated a memory that cannot pass in passing, the memory of the National Day, the anniversary of the founding and the launch towards a homeland that many dream of belonging to, and many wish to live in it, draw from its bounties and shade its shadow. No matter how displeased on such an occasion the actions of some unconscious zealot may be; The country, security, and protocols for dealing with national symbols have no value, and about the barbaric behavior of some homosexuals that were initiated by the security authorities. We are thankful. However, what happened regarding the interaction of some famous social media with the flag was inappropriate, and it is a great insult to the flag that we are not familiar with. Because the flag is our national symbol, and our international identity in all forums and occasions.. It is important to hold everyone who does not deal well with them accountable, and to raise awareness of the need to respect it, and ways to deal with it. Our country lived dear, safe and stable, and its glorious holidays returned while it was in growth, progress and prosperity.
