Anything other than a star and crescent moon on a flag would offend Muslims.

PC silliness is a kind excuse compared to the truth. These short sighted fools are cowards who pretend ‘kindness’ will stop radical Muslims from hurting them. They’re wrong.

When you deny your history, you lose your place in it.. and pay the price for pretending it never existed.
