After some online digging, he realized it was the flag used by followers of the Islamic State terror group. Edmonton police have said an Islamic State flag was found last weekend in a vehicle involved in what they are investigating as a terrorist attack. A man called asking for an Islamic State flag to be printed and, when she refused, he asked for a plain black one instead. The flag associated with the Islamic State is black with white Arabic writing along the top. Inscriptions on the Islamic State flag together make up a basic declaration of faith recited by Muslims around the world — that Allah is the only God and Muhammad is his prophet.
