Original Note:
Tim Walz did not change the Minnesota flag to look like the Somali flag. It was not chosen by Governor Tim Walz. A Flag Redesign Commission, which was established by the state legislature, chose it. The star is not an Islamic star https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_flag#With_crescent_and_star https://www.sos.state.mn.us/about-the-office/news-room/sec-simon-s-statement-on-state-flag/
