Quranic Phrase to Be Added to Tunisian Flag
A Tunisian party has proposed that the Quranic phrase ‘La Ilaha Illa Allah’ (There is no God but Allah) be added to the country’s flag.
The parti de la nation culturel et unionist, made the proposal in a meeting of its representative Ibrahim Hamdi with a number of cabinet ministers, tunisienumerique website reported.
In the meeting, Hamdi said that Tunisia is an Islamic country and adding the phrase to the flag could underline the Tunisian nation’s support for Islam and Muslims.
He also called on the national legislative assembly to take the proposal into consideration, as a sign of support for the people’s victorious uprising against the former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who was ousted in January 2011.
