THE Australian Army is removing the motto "In this sign conquer" from the 102-year-old hat badges of army chaplains because it is offensive to Muslims.
The move comes after an imam approved by the Grand Mufti was appointed to join the ÂReligious Advisory Committee to the Services in June.
Australian Army chaplains have had the motto on their hat badges since 1913.
.....
The Defence spokeswoman said: "There are 102 ADF permanent members who self-identify as Muslim. In addition there are 40 Active Reservists who have declared as Muslim."

And I would like to know if any of them have a problem with this motto. Because my guess is that not one of them would support this change.
Note - as the article says, Jewish Chaplains already have a separate badge and Muslim Chaplains would have the same. And while some people might perceive the motto is about the Crusades, it isn't - it dates from the fourth century and is older than the Islamic faith.
F*** the Muslims!
Next watch as they Ban the holy Bible because it might offend Muslims Next ban all crosses, and buldoze all churches because they offend people. Next they will ban pork as well.
Yes remove it without a whimper because the Moozlyms have CONQUERED YOU all.
In the Merry Old Land of Oz.
They are doing it wrong. They need to be making everything more offensive to Muslims. Muslims need to give up that psychotic religion.
And we need to make them give it up.
Yeah, and while they are doing that, why don’t they just cut of their balls, too. What a bunch of wussies.
When did the Aussies become such pussies?
When they started grabbing guns.
By this sign do we conquer.
The slogan of the Crusades. And one the muslimes would do well to fear, should it ever appear again in earnest.
I’m guessing more “Australian” Muslims are fighting for ISIS than serve in the Australian armed forces.
See, it is because of that badge.
I don’t want to know what it’s going to take to get rid of this politically correct mindset.
What I do know: It won’t be pretty.
