"Justification for being the "king" was by the divine will of God. And the distinct lines of the Union Jack is symbolic of Christian faith."

Yeah, thanks for the private history lesson, but we all know the English were Christians. Both sides in the American Civil War were Christians too, so what?

Now please show us how England attacked America twice under the banner of Jesus Christ and their Christian faith, this time without the smoke and mirrors please.

Greetings TheCrusader:

No smoke and mirrors intended; the original assertion concerns war justification "for Allah."

All faiths in the United States Armed Forces invoked the name of God for battle. Our military command and control is descended from the United Kingdom model. For the 1776 and 1812 Wars, and our own Civil War, the name of God was invoked before military battles, on both sides.

In the USA, whenever a nutcase kills someone in the name of God, we don't condemn Christianity. And that same murderous act doesn't stop other countries from wishing our people a Merry Christmas.

Cheers,
OLA
