Time To Ban The England Flag

world

England afraid to fly its own flag:

Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the 'blood thirsty crusaders' and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.

The Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, Heathrow airport in London, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.

The Sun said that a large pub network has banned drinkers from entering with symbols of the national team.

Is so stupid the way more and more countries are slowly backing down to extremist-islam "demands." It seems as though we are becoming tolerant of intolerance.

They are cry-babies,the Union Jack is associated with a lot of very bad memories here but no-one's gonna be blown up for flying it.That's insanity.

ynetnews.com isnt a creadible source? I personally wasnt quoting the sun, the ynetnews.com article mentioned that the sun. Did you actually read the article?

If it is true it really is rather pathetic.Why not just hand the country over to Muslims now and save the hassle?

shahril

think. the average muslim in england. would he/she think this way?
make ur own minds up. the sun and daily mail are racists and that has been proven.

when a black/muslim/immigrant commits murder the headline reads:
Immigrant murders child. Muslim runs over elderly couple.

When a white does these things: Man rapes....

you're never gonna see a headline saying: Christian.....

as it should be. the race/religion of a criminal often has nothing to do with their act.
And its not only stuff like this. Even in sports they conjure up half baked stories. Rooney's affair for example.

And just being a little cynical here: How can anyone take seriously a paper that shows naked women on page 3?

My main focus of this thread was to be focused on the extremists in Islam. I belive that the extremist Christians get just as much media attention. Just look at the protesters at the funerals. Bush just passed a bill that prohibited protesters at funerals. Thats an extremist Christian group that protests funerals.

That's sad. What's even more sad is that the US and UK picked a fight they can't win. Sad but true.

You can't show islamic fundamentalists they "way" by bombing their homeland. It unifies them to a cause.

Best thing would be to get out of the middle east asap and recognize the muslim belief as a distinct people.

Not all muslims are radical. Not all of anything is radical.

but jamming in their faces is not the answer.

YEah they're sitting on a bunch of oil. If we took the amount of money spent on the war we'd all be running our cars on grass clippings or potato peels...etc.. you know what I mean.

The approach is wrong.

Wait a minute, let me get this straight. Did England just unveil a brand new ass Flag and NOW the muslims are upset?

WTF? Have they been walking about with blindfolds on.

Shit, I should wear my Union Jack tank top tomorrow!

Silly assholes! Next thing they are going to say that offends them is the entire planet Earth.

Nice independent source that has nothing but good things to say about muslims. Dont insult us with bullshit "news" sources.

These companies are banning flags for different reasons, but some right wing racists are trying to stir up racial hatred by blamimng these bans on the new whipping boys.

catefrances

damn i was hoping this was true in hopes that we might be able to get the union jack off our flag.

I can tell you that on news here the Heathrow ban is said to be for health and safety reasons as the flags could blow onto runways.

even flow?

The World Cup of Football starts when. Tell me again how the flags will be hidden. Or the nation scared into not showing their pride. They don't have the nickname of a bulldog for nothing.

The National Enquirer said that Alien Invaders (from a distant galaxy) are eating our babies and mating with earth women; to re-populate this planet with hybrid, mutant versions of themselves.

Soon, all earthlings will have two extra arms emerging from their hips (one on each side), a long tenticle which remains safely hidden in a tortoise shell-like chest plate (but can be opened and tenticle used as a formidable weapon...or to used to better latch on to one's beer), ten toes on each of the three legs, a long phalic-like horn on top of the head (which uses sonar and infra-red for navigating and detecting), a natural, biological cradle at the upper thigh to place infants when they are at their most vulnerable point in developement(when no offspring are present, it can double as a beer-holder, sandwhich compartment or i-pod holder)- and finally..........the mutant, hybrid earthlings will already have their heads permanently embedded up their own ass.

Actually, that's not much different than our current state of most human beings.
