MUSLIMS demand cross be removed from Swiss flag because they "find it offensive" [Psalms 110]

Muslims in Switzerland are demanding that the white cross be removed from the Swiss national flag because as a Christian symbol, it "no longer corresponds to today's Muslim multicultural Switzerland." Poqari The Muslim group behind this idiotic demand known as the "Secondos," began a nationwide campaign in October to urge Swiss citizens to change the flag to something that is "less offensive" to Muslims. How about this?

Mountain View

Gatestone Institute reports: The proposal to change the Swiss flag has been met with outrage across the political spectrum and is sure to fuel anti-immigrant sentiments in Switzerland. Sylvia Flückiger a councillor with the conservative Swiss People's Party (SVP) said the demands are: "Totally unacceptable. With our Swiss flag there is nothing to change. The next thing you know, they will demand even more, that we change our constitution." Marianne Binder, spokeswoman for the center-right Christian Democrats (CVP) said: "This is just what was missing, that we need to change our flag. The Swiss flag is part of Swiss identity, precisely because it is inviting for all to want to be involved…even the immigrants..."

If the Swiss give in, I wonder if the Swiss will be willing to remove the crescent moon from the sky just to stay neutral?

I think we should remove the 50th star from the flag and revert Obamaland back to a King.

Like the man says, "Here's your sign."

Ezekiel 28, is that you?

by your wisdom and your intelligence you have amassed great wealth; you have piles of gold and silver inside your treasure-houses; such is your skill in trading, your wealth has continued to increase, and with this your heart has grown more arrogant;

since you consider yourself the equal of God, very well, I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most barbarous of the nations;

It's the foreigners from the "most barbarous of the nations" thing that replays in my head with every new headline from Europe...and soon from here, too!

Hey, why not just get rid of the red around the cross and go to a solid white flag?

Isn’t it true that Jews & Christians in Acre had been forced by their Muslim overlords to wear Islamic clothing & therefore it appeared to the Crusaders that everyone in the city was a Muslim?

Anyway, the tipping point will arrive and every Muslim in the West will become a righteous target of the “infidel” counterblast. It’s coming.

When the Turks remove the Crescent from their flag, then we’ll talk.

Has she missed the moslem push to put the world under sharia law? Of course, they want all constitutions changed.

Remove Hawaii and Illinois, just to keep the flag even. Plus, removing Illinois would drastically improve the national crime stats.

By the way, the Shoebat site gets their info from another site, PoqariNews. PoqariNews site shows Muslims burning a "Swiss" flag. The image is incorrect. It comes from a protest in Pakistan (from 10 years ago, about some cartoons), and involves the similar looking Danish flag. This error is being used to try to "debunk" the story.

Regardless, the underlying news story comes from a Swiss news article and appears to be genuine.

Always try to go to the primary source for the real story.

MUSLIMS demand cross be removed from Swiss flag because they "find it offensive"

I was wondering how long it would take before people started noticing how many European Nation's Flags are representing Christianity.

Stupid Europeans have little understanding of what social dynamic founded their civilization.

The Muslims have no need to back down. They are on the offensive and are winning.

Dear Mohammedans:

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

Each newborn servant of the Crucified
Bears on the brow the seal of Him Who died.

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw the world to Thee.

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

So shall our song of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified for victory.

Dead pool for the flags of Switzerland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland. Which of these crosses will be the first to fall?
