And if I recall correctly Jean Henri Dunant, the Swiss born founder of the Red Cross, was an ardent Christian businessman.

And if it has no Chrisitian significance, why then do they feel the need to change it to the Red Crescent in muslim countries?

They change it to a Crescent so they won't get trucks full of explosives driven into their buildings, but it isn't always convincing...

Their changing it to a Crescent is merely their way of saying that the symbol IS insignificant, that their importance is in their services
