<E.Ross@alakhawayn.ma> The Star of David is indeed called the Seal of Solomon "Hatim Sulayman" in the Muslim World. It was an official emblem of Morocco until the French protectorate, figuring on coins throughout the 19th century for instance. c. 1920 The French replaced the six-pointed Hatim Sulayman with the five-pointed star which figures today on the Moroccan flag.
