ENGLISH CROSS OF ST GEORGE FLAG DEEMED OFFENSIVE TO MUSLIMS

Recently, Ben Smith, an English football fan, decided to show his team support by displaying the flag of England - the red St. George's Cross - on his car. Mr. Smith was pulled over by police on a routine traffic stop but the gist of the stop was far from "routine" --- or is it?

Ben was stunned to be told by the policeman that his Flag of England was racist and "offensive to immigrants" and that he would be fined $60 if he refused to remove it from view.

"Mr Smith, of Melksham, Wiltshire, said: “I honestly could not believe what the police officer was saying. “He wasn’t rude about it at all. He was just very matter-of-fact about the flag being racist and offensive to immigrants.” Mr Smith, an avid England football fan, said he used the flag to cover up a new set of speakers, which he wanted to hide from would-be thieves He said: “I just thought he was joking and started to laugh, but he looked at me very seriously and said that I would have to pay a £30 on-the-spot fine if I refused. “It was really strange and I drove home quite shocked.”

Upon further question as to why and when the display of the English flag IN ENGLAND - became a racist act - the police spokespersons stumbled through a few lame excuses:

1 - It could be viewed as an "inflammatory act - citing Polish immigrants might be offended?? Highly unlikely the predominantly Catholic Polish would find a cross offensive.

2 - The officer asked Mr. Smith to remove the flag as an issue of "road safety" - the officer rationalized "Road safety and the ability to have a clear view at all times of what is behind you is of great public importance." Oddly enough there is no log of Mr Smith being stopped indicating there was nothing wrong with his car.

So what groups of immigrants is consistently offended by the Cross of St George - and what group would demand such pandering to their religious beliefs?  Why muslims - of course.  Muslims have made an issue - worldwide - of crosses being offensive to them -- here are just a few instances:

Turkish lawyer files complaint with Union of European Football Associations stating that the Inter Milan's team shirts consists of a big red cross on a white background. This has apparently reminded the Turks of an emblem of the order of the Templars, which is therefore deemed offensive to Muslims. The cross is the emblem of Milan

Hospital bans traditional Easter Hot Cross Buns = offensive to non=Christians ie: muslims.

Cross banned from chapel after being in the chapel for over 60 years --at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, USA - offends muslims.

Cross of St George is also used by Barcelona football team from Spain - on their badge - similar to the Inter-Milan incident it was deemed racist and offensive to muslims. Many muslim nations are altering the Barcelona shirts so it will not look like a cross.

These are just a few of the assaults made against the any representation of the Christian cross by muslims. A brief search of the web will find many more. Clearly muslims are working towards incrementally forcing the eradication of the Christian cross from any public view. With the help of such pandering, multicultural worshipping, politically correct dhimmis - including the British police - muslims may very well succeed.

POLICE TOLD FAN TO HIDE "RACIST" ST GEORGE FLAG

by Martin Evans

A football fan says police ordered him to remove an England flag from his car – because it could be deemed racist.

Ben Smith, 18, was pulled over for a routine spot check by an officer who inspected his tyres and road tax.

But the labourer was stunned to be told that a St George flag covering his Vauxhall Corsa’s parcel shelf was offensive to immigrants.

He initially thought the officer was joking until he was threatened with a £30 fine if he refused to remove it from view

Mr Smith, of Melksham, Wiltshire, said: “I honestly could not believe what the police officer was saying.

“He wasn’t rude about it at all. He was just very matter-of-fact about the flag being racist and offensive to immigrants.”

Mr Smith, an avid England football fan, said he used the flag to cover up a new set of speakers, which he wanted to hide from would-be thieves

He said: “I just thought he was joking and started to laugh, but he looked at me very seriously and said that I would have to pay a £30 on-the-spot fine if I refused.

“It was really strange and I drove home quite shocked.”

Tory MP Philip Davies, who campaigns against political correctness, said: “If this is the case then it is disgusting and totally outrageous and the policeman ought to be ashamed of himself.

“How on earth can it be racist to fly your own flag in your own country?

“It is this sort of politically-correct thinking that has helped to create the problems we have today. I would like to see the Association of Chief Police Officers make it clear that anyone flying the Union Flag or the flag of St George will not be prosecuted.”

PC Dave Cooper, of Wiltshire Police, could not confirm details of the incident as it had not been logged.

But he admitted there might be situations where a police officer considered the displaying of a flag as an inflammatory act.

He said: “It all depends on the context. If they are going past a lot of Polish people, for instance, and abusing them, then we possibly would ask them to take the flag down.”

He said the officer involved in the incident could have been based anywhere in Wiltshire. The fact there was no log of Mr Smith being stopped indicated there was nothing wrong with his car.

But Chief Inspector Charlie Dibble, of Wiltshire Police, believed the issue was more likely to be one of road safety.

He said: “The officer asked him to remove the flag from his parcel shelf, where he admits it was covering his speakers.

“Road safety and the ability to have a clear view at all times of what is behind you is of great public importance.

“Officers are encouraged to take positive action in this regard and this would apply if there was any object obscuring the driver’s view.”

This happened to me a couple of days back. I was driving down the road and the police pulled me over and told me the fact that I am white is offensive to a single Asian man living in a tower block in Streatham. Apparently the gook lost his eyesight in a freak Tip-Ex accident and now hates white.

I was fined £4,000,000 and ordered to become a Negro.

Also, coons.

Someone has posted a comment under my name saying i do not know ben smith. Actually, for your information i do know him. He lives near my parents house in melksham wiltshire UK. And he is not a 'made up person' as you so nicely and sarcastically put it, as his story along with a photo of him was in the local paper as well as some national papers. And to put the N word at the bottom is pretty immature, i think your just a sad asshole to be honest. I have a good idea, as you seem to be so keen to take the piss out of me, whoever you are, lets meet up and talk about it. Or are you too shy?

Does a crescent moon on top of a building mean it's a lunatic asylum?

Just the sight of a burka, the whole outfit they wear, is enoght to be offensive to me, we should all start complaining about them, and stop giving in, thier trying to get every country they can, and for some reason country are letting them have thier way, why? they want to change every country into thiers, let them go back then

[paul]

is there any chance of this country becoming british again,i am so fed up with these people who say they are british,then bleed this country dry with claims for 400 kids and what ever else they can get their hands on.Its about time we all stood up and told these anti st.george pricks to leave our country and traditions alone,if you dont like it then get on a plane and dont come back we will be willing to carry your bags for you so just go home,your life,your opions and you do not belong in our country.

[infidel and proud of it]

This is typical of the problems faced in any country that allows these backward inbreeds to come in and cry and whinge about the things they dont agree with, Australia is another example of where this type of bullshit is going on, I really do feel for the Brits they have basicly been led to the slaughter by their own government wich can proudly now say "look at us how far we have come, 200 years ago we sent you to the other side of the world for stealing a slice of bread, now if you rape,bash or kill someone we will let you off to do it again,as long as your a muslim". Wake up to yourself government of England look what you are doing to your own people in favour of a group of slime that still live 2000 years in the past, who gives a toss what offends them? they are offened by everything,even themselfs, have a look what goes on with them when they are left to themselfs, they eventually turn on each other because they are so backwards they dont understand how to act civilised, everyone across the world shoud join together to defend our Brit brothers, because their is not a place in this world this evil pathetic bunch of murderous devils wont try to infect with their toxic ways, if all the hate is freaking you out just remember its the muslims that have started this and spinless governments that allow it to happen, they have created the hate so the day is going to come when they are going to have to reap what they have created.

I don't really know whether I can be bothered to respond to this crap. England is my country and I will fly the ST George cross wherever and whenever I like.
If people are here from overseas, they can like it or get lost.

[cheryl]

just wanted to say that the immigrants that enter this country are eager enough to apply for a british passport and citizenship so they like the rest of the british people should be proud of the british flag and if it offends them then maybe they should return to their country of origin sick of this shit !!

[1234567]

AT ASDA THE OTHER DAY SOME LADS WERE IN THE ENGLAND SECTION AND THEY WERE MESSIN AROUND WITH SOME FLAG WAVING THEM TO SEE WHICH WAS BEST . AND IT CAME ON THE TANOY "CAN THE PEOPLE PLEASE STOP WAVING THE ENGLAND FLAG AS IT IS OFFENDING OUR MUSLIM STAFF" I SAW ABOUT 7 CUSTOMERS LEAVE THERE TROLLY'S AND WALK OUT. WHATS THIS COUNTRY COMING TO?

[Esther]

Seems the muslims have taken over the UK while the British people are sleeping. Why does the government allow that, are they sleeping or bribed. One solution is to vote the BNP, if it´s not too late already.
