Reader comment on item: Away with Crusaders, Crucifixes, Crosses, and Christmas
Submitted by y Brandstetter MD (Israel), Feb 3, 2014 at 03:25
Try to imagine this specific crusader in a Hijab
Did anyone protest the frequent use of the names Jihad and Ussama with modern muslims?
No examples given of such dhimmitude in Latin america. are the Latins there less concerned with kow-towing to the Islamists? is that why Israeli exports to the region are booming?
Finally it seems the only non dhimmi state in the West is Israel. No one has suggested removing the Shield of David from Jewish and Israeli institutions. Maccabi Tel Aviv, when playing in the Euroleague basketball arenas sports a a prominent shield of David, even its foreign players such as Schortsianitis
