The city council of a tiny rural hamlet in Somerset, England, has vetoed a plan to fly the flag of St. George because its links to the Christian Crusades in the Middle Ages may offend the town's Muslim residents.
...
John Clements, vice president of the Royal Society of St. George, a patriotic organization, called the Radstock councilors' decision nonsense and a form of censoring of the national flag.

This regrettable (appalling) action brings to mind the brilliant observation of Congressman Hank Johnson about another island in the sea, that he was concerned it was about to tip off and sink to the bottom.

Heartbreaking.
Nations 'across the pond' are not too far behind. It is spreading rapidly in the Western Hemisphere. Just count the number of new mosques in the last decade.
I recall a chilling line from the Showtime series, Sleeper Cell: 'by 2050 America's schools will close for Ramadan.'

So what flag would they not find offensive? Only their flag? Well, that flag offends me. There, done. No one gets to fly any flags so no one will be offended. That is the ultimate result of this kind of pc bs.

On this Pentecost Day, 2013, may God send Christian missionares from the countries that the west sent missionaries many years ago to bring the good news of the Gospel of Jesus. Amen.

And what do they think of Christians who ARE upset with this nonsensical concern for the “feelings” of Muslims?
Or, if I were addressing that council;
“I’m upset at your abject STUPIDITY!....and the flag is STAYING!!!”

Perhaps offering a dozen white English virgins to the muzzies would placate their offended sensibilities? Oh, wait, that’s been tried and didn’t work either.
