The jihadist flag is a flag commonly used by various Islamist and Islamic fundamentalist movements as a symbol of jihad. It usually consists of the Black Standard with a white text of the Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith) emblazoned across it in Arabic calligraphy. Its usage was widely adopted by Islamist groups and jihadists during the 1990s and early 2000s.[1][2]
Organizations which have used such a flag include:
- Al-Qaeda
- Islamic State
- Al-Shabaab
- Mujahideen
- Palestinian Islamic Jihad
- Taliban
- Hamas
- Jemaah Islamiyah[3]
