	Flag of Bahrain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The national flag of Bahrain 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.
		But during the nineteenth century, a white stripe was added to indicate truces made with neighboring countries, and the serrated triangles were then added to distinguish the flag of Bahrain from that of its neighbors.
		The flag originally had more than five triangles, but this was modified in 2002, so that the triangles could stand for the Five Pillars of Islam.

	Bahrain - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Bahrain is an Arabic word meaning "Two Seas", and is thought to either refer to the fact that the islands contain two sources of water, sweet water springs and salty water in the surrounding seas, or to the south and north waters of the gulf, separating it from the Arabian coast and Iran, respectively.
		Bahrain is a generally flat and arid archipelago, comprising of a low desert plain rising gently to a low central escarpment, in the Persian Gulf, east of Saudi Arabia.
		Bahrain is sometimes described as the 'Middle East lite': an Arab country that mixes thoroughly modern infrastructure with a definite Gulf identity, but unlike other countries in the region its prosperity is not solely a reflection of the the size of its oil wealth, but also related to the creation of an indigenous middle class.
