QATARI FLAG

-maroon with a broad white serrated band (nine white points) on the hoist side; maroon represents the blood shed in Qatari wars, white stands for peace; the nine-pointed serrated edge signifies Qatar as the ninth member of the "reconciled emirates" in the wake of the Qatari-British treaty of 1916

And i thought the serrated edge was a one-sided zipper.. :-(
no offense meant *peace*

Some people say the nine edges represent the nine baladiyas Qatar has (had). Now it's ten.
