Bahrain's flag is red with a white serrated band on the hoist side, divided by five white triangular points. The red represents the Kharijite sect of Islam, while white symbolizes peace. The five points represent the five pillars of Islam.
Bahrain's flag was originally all red; the white was added after a treaty with Britain in the 19th century, and the serrations were reduced from 28 to 5 in 2002.
Adopted: 2002
