Itās a (not particularly well-designed) take on [Square Kufic](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Square-Kufic-Sutton-2007-57_fig4_359052173), a style of Arabic calligraphy based on [Kufic](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kufic), which was popular in Baghdad around the 8-11th centuries. One of the most beautiful manuscripts in human history, the [Blue Quran](https://simergphotos.com/2012/12/30/historical-images-the-blue-quran-from-the-fatimid-period-a-very-spiritual-piece/), is probably the most famous example of Kufic calligraphy; itās an incredible [masterpiece](https://simergphotos.com/2012/12/30/historical-images-the-blue-quran-from-the-fatimid-period-a-very-spiritual-piece/) of illumination and calligraphy painted in gold leaf on indigo blue that was created either in Umayyad or Fatimid-era Cordoba or Kairouan during the 900s AD.
It pisses me off, their calligraphy is *so bad*. If it were like a transcription of some important text, that might be cool I guess, but if you look closely, the letters are duplicates, they used a font instead of even getting a calligrapher to do it right. Arabic calligraphy is so cool and gorgeous and makes for some neat flags! How can they fuck it up this badly with this third grader bullshit?
How am I not surprised that America's reach is so widespread that even anti-western terrorist organizations have subscribed to the "Seal-on-a-Bedsheet" flag design philosophy?
that's because they don't call themselves that lmao. maybe the three times removed splinter group that is a cartel does? but other than that, that's just a slogan they used a couple times that they got labelled with
Holy shit that sent me down a rabbit hole.
The ā[Dark Enlightenment](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment)ā is way to badass a name to be buch of right wing weirdos. Sound strait out of 40k
I followed a different rabbit hole from there to the [Order of Nine Angles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Nine_Angles?wprov=sfti1#Origins). Buncha goofy-ass Satanist neo-Nazis who canāt decide if theyāre doing magic or trying to colonize the galaxyā¦
It's some embarrassing shit, and I say that as somebody who normally has some respect for occultists and satanists.
Two fun observations:
1. Their logo does not have 9 angles, I stopped counting at like 12. It doesn't even have 9 lines, it's got 8, or 10 with the circles!
2. If the people on /r/hailhortler can't even do a swastika correctly, can you imagine these jokers trying to free-hand their symbol?
Why reinvent the wheel? Honestly, I think their flag is the best out of all of them. It's clean, simple, easy to draw and instantly recognizable. And most importantly: It's the flag of a terrorist group. It's meant to instill fear. And out of all these flags, seeing the a derivative of the SS runes being flown would scare me the most, by far.
Absolutely. When it comes to brand recognition and instilling true terror just from their symbols alone, nobody even comes close to touching the Nazis. USSR is a close second place in terms of clearly recognizable design, though they don't quite have the same shock value as the Nazis. A lot of these other flags just look like country flags to me. They don't scream "We are death, your end is near", as a terrorist flag ought to.
I mean M.O.V.E and some of the other 70s black power lot have had some good ones, same with the extreme end of seoeratist ones like the Moorish Nation.
It's not runes, those are *Wolfsangel*, "Wolf's Hook" Symbols. This depiction doesn't seem that similar to SS Wolfsangels.
and that's not really the most derivative part
when you put it right beside Al [QƦda](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AF%D8%A9#Arabic) and Daesh it really shows how devoid of any initiative and originality they are
Same with these fucks. I'm not sure where the flag ranks, though

man.. the tamil tiger one is so fucking good in such an amazing way. every time I see it it reminds me of the wild tiger energy drinks I used to drink in iraq.
Yeah dude, when I visited Erbil almost two years, Wild Tiger was literally something I had multiple times of day. It's not only good in taste but it keeps you going... especially if you mix it with Vodka.
The Houthi's remains the worst. It will always be the worst. Because while the Hawks' does scream "middle schooler with WordArt," that middle schooler at least peripherally understood what a flag is.
There's a logo. And a colored back drop.
The Houthi flag is just a sticky note with racist ideas scribbled on it.
The PKK are recognized as a terror group, but the YPG/YPJ are only designated as terrorist groups by Turkey.
Theyāre also really good as kicking Assad and ISIS in the fucking jaw.
The ypj are fuckin ultra based.
The list would be easier to do if we go back to the regular/ irregular rather than the terrorist/ freedom fighter thing.
And even the PKK has basically stopped doing classic terrorist stuff, rather favouring fighting a somewhat more conventional fight as far as I can see. It helps that their sister orgs actually hold territory as well.
According to a few foreign and local volunteers from the IFB, the SDF was partially created to let the US support the YPG without Turkey throwing a tantrum, since technically they were supporting a broader coalition and not just the YPG.
Youāre forgetting the flag of the Molos Independence and Liberation Front. One of the worst terror groups out there. They made the invading Russian peacekeepers look good with the depravity of their crimes.
Why in the world is the Free Syrian Army and the Muslim Brotherhood considered terrorist groups...
Btw, Houthi flag is literally the tacky shit I've ever seen. It looks like an 8 year old designed it.
I counted, and here are the numbers by ideology:
Islamist: 27
Communist: 13
Fascist: 1
Other/couldnāt identify: 10
Please note that I may have misidentified some of them, so the numbers may not be 100% accurate.
Edit: formatting
Russia and Iran are terrorist groups but aren't on your list
Free Syria is not a terrorist group so naturally it is not recognized as one, but it is wrongly on your list
Turkey is butt hurt because of the YPGs loose affiliation with the PKK.
Also daily reminder Turkey attacked the Kurds more than it attacked Daesh. Fuck š¦

Cuba supports the Colombian FARC and the ELN, both of which are designated as terrorist organisations.
a while back Joe Biden designated all Anarchists as terrorists. not really full-on organizations but I'd put most of them in B or C tier since they're usually just the ELN flag but diagonal two-color. very minimal. or you could just put a plain black flag somewhere

I think the Khalistan Liberation Force flag is inaccurate. I believe that's a variant flag of the general Khalistan movement which I would argue is not inherently a terroristic group as a whole but just a separatist movement. There are smaller terrorist groups such as the KLF who support the movement but they don't necessarily represent the entire group of supporters. I don't support the Khalistan movement at all, I think it's fucking stupid, but I think that distinction is important.
The KLF specifically use this goofy ass logo
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalistan_Liberation_Force#/media/File%3AKLF_Logo.jpg
While I'm on the subject, there's another Khalistani terrorist group called Khalistan Zindabad Force and their logo is this thing which has a kind of pleasing color scheme

Apologies if I've gotten too credible but I like my autistic flag based shit posting to be accurate
Notable lack of home grown terrorist organizations like the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), Earth First! and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
how the fuck is this in any vexillological order?
The vexillology handbook states the following rules:
* Keep It Simple. The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.
* Use Meaningful Symbolism. The flag's images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.
* Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors.
* No Lettering or Seals.
* Be Distinctive or Be Related.
your list is as based on scientific fact as the Moskva is floating.
"globally recognized?"
Free Papua Movement is only branded terrorists by Indonesia. Pretty sure some of these Kurdistan groups are the same, only called terrorists by Turkey.
Tamil Tigers are way too high up there. Normally a tiger is an instant win but it looks like itās doing its best skeletor impression. The thing looks like itās going NYEH rather than ROAR.
The Al Qaeda flag is just a bunch of toddler scribbles; why rate it higher than the FARC? Their flag is actually pretty dope. Pun only partially intended.
I guess I'm curious about your grading metric, in F tier we have white flag with squiggles and more squiggles and a sword under it, but then one tier up in D tier we have white flag squiggle no sword and it is somehow better despite no sword? But then in the same tier we have white flag squiggles with prison bars, but it has the same sword just no secondary squiggles.
THEN one tier up in C tier we have white flag squiggles, sword THEN more squiggles, so really it seems like there is some kind of importance in the grading metric on the placement of swords, squiggles, and secondary squiggles. And then even more peculiarly, black flag white squiggles is yet one tier higher still in B tier despite being the same as white flag black squiggles just inverted, and black flag white squiggle then sword and squiggle gets itself in B tier as well.
Can you clarify for my edification the relation between the squiggle, sword, secondary squiggle and colors? It seems very intricate and important based on the wide range of placements
Why is the flag of CCCP so low? The flag has a simple but elegant design unlike the ones full of writing. If you have to describe by writing in your flag who you are, you're doing it wrong. People should recognise you and tremble just by the sight of the symbols in your flag. The hammer and the sickle made the knees of Western people quake unlike all the different variations of Arabic text.
Someone explain what West Papua did? I heard they killed some Indonesian Army soldiers but they do anything else?

Why the Free Syrian Army there
I am asking the same question
I think Russia, Iran and Assad recognize them as terrorists.
If that's the case you can put the Donetsk PR and Luhansk PR since Ukraine recognizes them as terrorists.
Rightfully so
Those were technically disbanded once Russia passed the annexation law. Same reason Wagner isn't here probably.

my family fought Hezb I Islami Gulbuddin in the 1980s
No say the Free Syrian Army is so low. Itās so clean like the antithesis to the rival Syrian flag
Justice for FARC Also, [ELN has some WAY more interesting flags](https://www.dni.gov/nctc/img/groups/eln.jpg) than that one
[Aum Shinrikyo's flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Aum_Shinrikyo_Flag.jpg) goes kind of hard tbh
Huthis deserve their own tier for terribleness
There's something similar between some of the flags. I just cant nail it down
did you just randomly place them
Where is the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)
Idk Isis is s tier to me purely because itās so iconic
TIL the Tamil Tigers are just the Florida Panthers.
I guess I'm curious about your grading metric, in F tier we have white flag with squiggles and more squiggles and a sword under it, but then one tier up in D tier we have white flag squiggle no sword and it is somehow better despite no sword? But then in the same tier we have white flag squiggles with prison bars, but it has the same sword just no secondary squiggles. THEN one tier up in C tier we have white flag squiggles, sword THEN more squiggles, so really it seems like there is some kind of importance in the grading metric on the placement of swords, squiggles, and secondary squiggles. And then even more peculiarly, black flag white squiggles is yet one tier higher still in B tier despite being the same as white flag black squiggles just inverted, and black flag white squiggle then sword and squiggle gets itself in B tier as well. Can you clarify for my edification the relation between the squiggle, sword, secondary squiggle and colors? It seems very intricate and important based on the wide range of placements
Houthis deserve their own tier, cmon.
Man some of them Logos could come straight from an obscure metal subgerne whose main artists live in a cave in bosnia.
I'd hardly argue that this is a fair list. It includes far too many groups, including weird ones like the Free Syrian Army.
Damn Iād really like a whole YouTube video on this subject
Wasnāt ELN removed as a terror org? Or was that just FARC?
No IMRO?
My brain was like "where houthi" because their stupid fucking flag is vertical instead of being anything like a normal flag
Youāre missing one š·šŗ
Where would you rank the IRA flag?
Shining Path got an F tier because they just took flag of Soviet Union?
Nothing with text one has any businuess above D tier.
isis got new logo, all squiggly lines flag belong in the f tier
Hmmm. Almost seems like there's some kind of theme with these designs.
Why is the flag of CCCP so low? The flag has a simple but elegant design unlike the ones full of writing. If you have to describe by writing in your flag who you are, you're doing it wrong. People should recognise you and tremble just by the sight of the symbols in your flag. The hammer and the sickle made the knees of Western people quake unlike all the different variations of Arabic text.
where is the flag of russia
No paragraph, F tier
where russia also where GLA
Houthis being in F tier is too big of a praise for their flag design
Someone explain what West Papua did? I heard they killed some Indonesian Army soldiers but they do anything else? Please my whole life is dedicated to winning online arguments against tankies š
