Default "England Afraid to Fly Own Flag" so as not to offend Muslims

http://www.iris.org.il/blog/archives...-Own-Flag.html

Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the ‘blood thirsty crusaders’ and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags. (Crap!!! What cowards!!!)

The flag has recently appeared in England on everything from bikinis to cars, and sold in endless versions in stores.

But the Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, Heathrow airport in London, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.
Perhaps they have a reason to be intimidated:

British Terrorists Planned Sarin Attack

Terrorists were planning a chemical attack in London similar to the outrage on the Tokyo underground, according to police and the security services.

MI5 operatives suspect that al-Qa’eda sympathisers intended to produce a nerve agent - probably sarin - and release it in a confined space, such as a tube carriage, to maximise the number of casualties.

The sarin attack on three railway lines in the Japanese capital killed 12 people and injured more than 5,000 in March 1995. It was the world’s first major chemical attack and used sarin, a nerve agent which attacks the respiratory system.

Security sources suspect that a new atrocity was planned on or close to the anniversary of the July 7 attacks on London, when four terrorists killed themselves and 52 others, and injured more than 700 people. This would have provided a rallying call to al-Qa’eda sympathisers to carry on their “jihad” - or holy war - against the West.

Officers were last night continuing to question two men after a raid on a house in Forest Gate, east London. The men arrested are brothers: Mohammed Abul Kahar, 23, and Abul Koyair, 20. Both deny any offences.

_______________________________________________

Hmmmm.... if someone tells ME that I can't fly or wave the AMERICAN flag for fear of offending MUSLIMS or any OTHER GROUP, I will remove the flag from the pole, fold it reverently, not letting it touch the ground.......

.....AND GIVE THE F*L*A*G*P*O*L*E, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR HOW SMALL, A _GUIDED TOUR_ OF THAT PERSON'S INTESTINES!!!!!!!!

Default Re: "England Afraid to Fly Own Flag" so as not to offend Muslims

I was going to post something like this at the weekend but I knew I wouldnt be able to post without loosing my rag.

If someone doesnt like us flying our own flag, they can sod off out of our country!

Political correctness needs to be shot - with .177 rounds - repeatedly (keep hitting more - hurts more!).

Any chance of a mass protest to the companies that caved in to these unreasonable demands?

Think of it this way. The cross is a Christian symbol for a country that has represented, defended and supported Christianity for centuries, and which has now in great part turned it's collective back on Christianity.

Islam has two overwhelming hates - Jews and Christians, and now feels secure enough in the lack of Christianity and the lack of any resistance to its demands. This is a major challenge to Islam - if they can get England to give up the last visible sign of her Christian heritage, they have made a giant step towards making England, and ultimately Britain, into the beginnings of an Islamic nation.

Instead of the choir boys of Westminster Abbey as a symbol of England, there will be the Imam (or loud speaker) on the top of the mosque that will have replaced that old Abbey calling the "faithful" to prayer - five times a day. On Fridays, after religious observances, there will be public executions by the mosque that will eventually replace Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral, .. and so on.

They have taken over many Eastern European nations, so far allowing Christians and Jews to live there under sad conditions. They are taking over in England. I'm sorry that these companies are folding up their flags instead of kicking out the ones making those demands. I fear it for my own country.

But it's happening. The atheists will be slaughtered, Christians and Jews will be dhimmis - that's slaves, practically. Heavily taxed, their children can be taken - and those children will be raised as Muslims.

This may be the last chance for England, and for all of Britain to avoid such a takeover, but a religion will come in as Christianity is phased out. The contender - the only one with muscle - is Islam.

It's where political correctness has led Britain; it's where it will lead the US.

I still think that if the people went after the companies that are caving into this imposition of Islamic values, then it would stop. The ones who are making the noise are the Islamics. There needs to be an outcry on the parts of people who don't want to be told they can't fly their own country.

I pose that the mere mention of muslims to me symbolizes the bloodthirsty atrocities, and the repression of not only its on people but the world as an end goal.

We as a world community NEED to spank the muslim zealots, and hurt them bad. The problem herein lies in the fact that if we are lenient, they'll railroad us due to our weakness (read PCism). If we crush them, we're no better than they are. There has to be a happy medium, or genocide is the only answer. The rest of the world cannot kowtow to a belligerent few and call it their "religious right" to act that way.
