The national flag of Bahrain (Arabic: علم البحرين) consists of a white band on the left, separated from a red area on the right by five triangles that serve as a serrated line.
The five triangles symbolises the 5 pillars of Islam.
It is sometimes mistaken for the flag of Qatar, but that flag is maroon, not red, has more points (9), and normally has a much greater length-to-width ratio.
The white colour comprises 13⁄40 (32.5%) of the flag area, while the red colour comprises 27⁄40 (67.5%) of the area.
The colour specification is red: Pantone 186 c / CMYK (%) C 0 – M 90 – Y 80 – K 5
The flag is used on land and at sea as a national, civil and war ensign. In 2002, the King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, issued Decree by Law No.(4) for 2002, which pertained to the flag:
Bahrain (i/bɑːˈreɪn/; Arabic: البحرين al-Baḥrayn), officially the Kingdom of Bahrain (Arabic: مملكة البحرين Mamlakat al-Baḥrayn), is a small island country situated near the western shores of the Persian Gulf in the Middle East. It is an archipelago with Bahrain Island, the largest land mass, at 55 km (34 mi) long by 18 km (11 mi) wide. Saudi Arabia lies to the west and is connected to Bahrain by the King Fahd Causeway while Iran lies 200 km (124 mi) to the north across the Persian Gulf. The peninsula of Qatar is to the southeast across the Gulf of Bahrain. The population in 2010 stood at 1,234,571, including 666,172 non-nationals.
Bahrain is the site of the ancient Dilmun civilisation. It has been famed since antiquity for its pearl fisheries, which were considered the best in the world into the 19th century. Bahrain was one of the earliest areas to convert to Islam (AD 628). Following a period of Arab rule, Bahrain was occupied by the Portuguese in 1521, who in turn were expelled in 1602 by Shah Abbas I of the Safavid dynasty under the Persian Empire. In 1783, the Bani Utbah clan captured Bahrain from Nasr Al-Madhkur and has since been ruled by the Al Khalifa royal family, with Ahmed al Fateh as Bahrain's first hakim. In the late 1800s, following successive treaties with the British, Bahrain became a protectorate of the United Kingdom. In 1971, Bahrain declared independence. Formerly a state, Bahrain was declared a Kingdom in 2002. Since early 2011, the country has experienced sustained protests and unrest inspired by the regional Arab Spring, particularly by the majority Shia population.
A national anthem (also state anthem, national hymn, national song etc.) is a generally patriotic musical composition that evokes and eulogizes the history, traditions and struggles of its people, recognized either by a nation's government as the official national song, or by convention through use by the people. The majority of national anthems are either marches or hymns in style. The countries of Latin America tend towards more operatic pieces, while a handful of countries use a simple fanfare.
Although national anthems are usually in the most common language of the country, whether de facto' or official, there are notable exceptions-
States with more than one national language may offer several versions of their anthem: for instance, Switzerland's anthem has different lyrics for each of the country's four official languages (French, German, Italian and Romansh). Canada's national anthem has different lyrics in each of the country's official languages (English and French), and on some occasions is sung with a mixture of stanzas taken from its French and English versions. The Irish national anthem was written in English; an Irish translation, although never formally adopted, is now almost always sung.

Upon independence in 1971, Bahrain adopted the anthem “Bahrainona.” It is in the “Arab fanfare” style of anthem. The original lyrics by Mohamed Sudqi Ayyash were changed in 2002 when the country became a kingdom and the ruler became a king rather than an Emir.

Since February 2011 Bahrain has been in a state of crisis with a brutal crackdown by the US-backed minority regime on pro-democracy activists. Today's Inside Bahrain focusses on revelations that the United States continued to arm the Bahraini regime for at least a year after the initial brutal crackdown. We'll also be taking a closer look at how sectarian tensions in the country have increased since the 2011 revolution.

Human rights campaigners claim torture, disappearances, arbitrary arrests and unfair trials are the norm. They called on the British Prime Minster to use her influence “to press the Bah¬¬rain government to put an immediate stop to this repression”. Yet Mrs May has not allowed these allegations to trump British business interests and has explained that this trip is a marvellous opportunity for “Gulf investment” that is “regenerating cities across the UK" Mrs May added that she hopes her “visit will herald the start of a new chapter in relations between the United Kingdom and the Gulf." Mrs May’s attitude has naturally angered Human Rights advocates and action groups including Human Rights Watch, Reprieve and the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) have all wrote to Mrs May ...
