Muharram Flag

image by James Dignan, 19 Feb 2011

News coverage of funerals following the street protests in Bahrain have shown an unusual flag - plain green bordered in red. Does anyone know what it is or represents?
James Dignan, 19 Feb 2011

My guess would be it is a Bahraini Shi'a flag, either religious or political.

Hello, I'm from Bahrain and I just would like you to know that, this flag has nothing to do with Bahrain. It's religious. Related to Muharram.
See: Wikipedia: Alam or Wikipedia: Muharram.
