The flag

In a TV news story on Egyptian politics, I noticed a flag at a rally of the Muslim Brotherhood (along with MB flags): blue with a white gear centered (number of teeth not certain).

I am writing to you in reference to UFE 2012-19, an Egyptian political flag with a white gear on a blue field. I have included an image of a Egyptian campaign poster (above left) used by Mohamed Morsi which feature a seal with a gear (above centre). I'm not sure what the seal represents since I don't know how to read Arabic. The seal, like the poster, uses the red, white and black color scheme of the Egyptian flag. I have also included the logo of the "Egyptian Islamic Labour Party" (above right) which features a gear. The party is part of the "Democratic Alliance for Egypt¸" a coalition which includes the "Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party."

Just an observation, but the colors used on the seal of the "Egyptian Islamic Labour Party" could very well have generated the blue flag Eugene observed.

I add a press photo taken during a rally in Cairo on June 22nd. In the lower right corner you can see the UFE.
