Air Force Unit Drops Nickname After It’s Labeled Offensive to Muslims
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 3, 2024 | Jared Harris

An air unit formed in the days when pilots were considered knights and gentlemanly combat ruled the sky has been stripped of its historical nickname after fears it could be offensive to Muslim communities.

The Royal Air Force’s 14 Squadron was forced to drop the “Crusader” title after an official complaint was filed against the unit.

According to a news report, a single complaint sparked a campaign against the nickname. Aviators and crewmen were told to remove all instances of the name around their hangars.

“We have to take down every mention of Crusaders from our base,” one aviator told the Daily Mail.

The months after 9/11 the Islam propaganda and colonization machine kicked into high gear as we spent all of our attention to playing Mohammed wack-a-mole. 23 years later, this is Bin Laden’s dream and success.

The Crusades were just a counterattack against the imperialist settler colonialist Arabs who were forcing their death cult on indigenous Jews and Christians.

Will Muslims ever apologize for their jihad into Europe and the millions of prisoners and slaves they brought back to the middle east? Jihad was more than a crusade and it continues to this day.

> We are all French now. They really know how to surrender. <

The French Army actually has an honorable WW2 record. Their stubborn rear-guard action at the Siege of Lille in 1940 allowed the majority of the British Army to escape at Dunkirk. And the Maginot Line did not surrender until it was completely surrounded.

But your comment still has merit! The French lost in WW2 because their leadership was terrible. The West is losing now because our leadership is terrible. We are surrendering too. Just in a different way.

No,you’re wrong.
It’s a Crusader.
Gun ports on the chin, scoop on the afterburner petals, bunch of other things.

The A-7 was derived from the Crusader design, with lots of differences, like a Gatling cannon, single Sidewinder rails on fuselage, rounded Radom.

The muslims find everything about the Christian religions to be offensive and want us to remove the titles. Well I find the call to prayer offensive and want all those loud speakers turned off.

I’m surprised they haven’t trashed the Marines’ Hymn yet.

“I think it’s high time OUR Air Force did something about the name of this hateful, hurtful, and offensively name jet! C’mon, Austin...there’s LOTS of renaming you can do to make sure we don’t offend anybody. Why stop at base names?”


I was just thinking about this..Think I’ll send an email to Lard Ass Lloyd suggesting:

Rename Andrews, “Akmed Air Force Base”
Travis, “Tariq Air Force Base”
And maybe, Davis Monthan to “Davis Mohamed Air Force Base”

Come on everyone...Get those keyboards singing..Let’s show some inclusive spirit to the camel jockeys!
