Once again we see Christianity under attack in Europe. The question is, will the pro-Christianity, anti-Islamic government of Italy put up with this?

European court: No crucifixes in Italian schools By ALESSANDRA RIZZO

ROME – Europe's court of human rights said Tuesday the display of crucifixes in Italian public schools violates religious and education freedoms, prompting an angry reaction from the Catholic Church and government officials in Rome.

Sounds like it's time for Italy to assert it's sovereignty. I jolly well hope if they try the same thing in Greece vis-a-vis icons of Christ, the Theotokos and the saints, the answer will be a resounding 'Οχι!

Guess I will have to pry off my ‘+’ and ‘x’ keys from my laptop when I travel there.

So, how do these genius’s intend to change the Addition symbol and replace the letter ‘x’. Heaven forbid we have a symbol that represents a concept as complex as Christianity displayed anywhere.

Is the Cresent Moon still allowed to be displayed?

For once, just ONCE, I’d love to see a leader stand up to these looney courts and do an Andrew Jackson “come over here and make me do it!” (paraphrasing Andrew Jackson’s comment to Justice Marshall’s order)

If the Europeans don't like the Crucifix , wait until they get the burkah and the Jizyah tax imposed on them

Yes, by excersizing their religious freedom they are violating it.

Western Civilization is under attack. Christianity is an integral part of Western Civilization. Therefore, it would seem to follow that Christianity would be attacked. The motive being: conquest is much easier when the object of one's hostile attack is disintegrated. The true horror of the attacks being the ease with which we are being conquered. In some instances Westerners are actually assisting the attackers; i.e. the present coalition of "the Third World," Non-Christians, perverts, actors etc.

Pure socialist doublethink.

If I were in charge, I’d pass a law saying that any attempt by a UN scumbag to enforce this ruling in my country would be a felony with a 10 year mandatory sentence. And also put out national arrest warrants for whoever made this decision as enemies of the state.

And that’s for starters.

Keep in mind that the Catholic Schools could still have them. I never went to public school on Catholic School and we always had crucifixes so it was normal for me. Public Schools did not have them I guess so it would not have been normal for those that went to public school. Italian Schools are just doing what Americans schools have done for years.
