Flags with the Shahada

In the photo report about the 40 years of Gaddafi coup published by BBC today we can see an image of plenty of flags showing green Arabic words (not sure if it is the Shahada) over a white background: http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46300000/jpg/_46300229_flags2_ap.jpg.

If the Arabic words are actually the Shahada, the flag could be the al-Liwaa related to the Islamic Caliphate (but it is ideologically unconnected with Gaddafi's Libya where hard Islamic movements are unlawful)

It seems that there are two different flags. The one that I could figure out had the inscription "Allahu Akbar". I couldn't figure out the second, but it doesn't looks like the Shahada.

Red-white-green flag?

image by Ivan Sache, 8 June 2012

On 27 February 2011, Kevin Frayer (AP) photographed in Benghazi insurgents displaying a square flag, horizontally divided red-white-green with a black crescent and four-pointed star in the white stripe. The counter-colouring of the central stripe and crescent and star, when compared with "regular" insurrection flags, is odd; however, I don't believe this is an optical effect.

I actually think the stripe is black.
