is it flag of Iran or Islamic Iran?!

in this photo us president barack obama waves as the flag of islamic republic of iran passes in front of him during the inaugural parade in front of the white house in washington on january 20, 2009.and the decrease raises questions among iranian again and again; is that our decrease or is it islamic iran’s bunting? let’s surprise a look at abate of islamic republic of iran and see what’s on it:

in the flag of iran passage in wiki we can scan:in 1980 a new flag was introduced with the additional emblems expressive of the islamic revolution. the emblem in the center of the flag is a highly stylized composite of several elements representing bizarre facets of islamic life: allah, the book, the sword, the five principles of islam, match, unity, neutrality, and the universal government of the downtrodden. along the edges of the rural and red stripes appears a stylized variation of the kufic script employed pro the qur’an. the phrase allahu akbar (”god is great”) is repeated 22 times. this is the date in the iranian calendar on which islamic revolution triumphed over pahlavi dynasty in 1979.this basic point has been utilized since the birth of the 20th century. the anorak of arms of iran has been placed in the center of the white band which is meant to be dressed multiple meanings, but is essentially a geometrically-symmetric form of the word allah as spectacularly as overlapping parts of the islamic phrase “la ilaha illa allah” (there is no god but god), forming a monogram. so iranian atheists, agnostics, skeptics, humanists, and all in together civil society who accept in segregation of religion and state are unqualifiedly against current flag because this flag doesn’t represent us. it is a shame that some non-sense arabic islamic terms have a weakness for “god is great” and “there is no god but god” would be on iranian flag. unfortunately it shows how ayatollahs has been trying to change iranian culture with some arabic islamic undeviating superstition since revolution in 1979 and it’s more unfortunate when we find out that after revolution, liberals and leftists that alleged to be in favor of separation of church and state, not only didn’t criticize this new ebb but they tagged along islamists in iran and thatfarnaz an iranian blogger very nicely wrote: the phrase allahu akbar (”god is great”) is repeated 22 times, 11 times along the bottom edge of the green and 11 times along the upper edge of the red, and that 11 is the sign of february 11 1979, the unfortunate month that the revolution took place. she asks: 1. why there should be arabic language on tag of iran? is there any problem with persian language that they didn’t use it? 2. isn’t it that iran existed long previous to islam and allah? iran has more than 7000 years old history but islam is 1400 years old and so allah. 3. does the flag belong to every people of a land? i am an atheist, i don’t even find credible in god and forget apropos allah, there are some jewish, christian and so on, why there should some sign of religion that has nothing to do with us? 4. why there should be ideological slogans on the flag? finally she asks: now you indicate me, either i am not iranian or this fade isn’t iranian flag?
