not surprising the lack of surprise about the fact that the Red Cross intends to discontinue its symbol to avoid offending the sensibilities of those who are not Christian. Put bluntly: to bow to Islam less tolerant.
Italian newspapers, the news seems to be slipping away as a curiosity of many, as the theory extinct dinosaur farts to the concentration of the atmosphere or as the degree of corrosiveness of the Coca-Cola. A quick read, a laugh and that's it.
no surprise at a time when baby Jesus can be replaced in the poems school and in the manger, where judges refuse to work in the presence of crucifixes, where the crucifix can be thrown from a window in the hospital and be called " a desiccated corpse. "
no surprise when it comes to process a writer for the mere fact of having painted Islam as a religion brought a tantinello fanaticism. Because you can write everything that the Holocaust never happened state, which landed on the moon is a reconstruction of Hollywood, which has brought down the Twin Towers Bush with the help of the Jews. The only thing you can do is say the name of Allah in vain at home.
no surprise when, after seeing Kingdom of Heaven by Ridley Scott, you're led to believe that Christians were all bloodthirsty butchers, and tolerance was a virtue known only to Saladin.
No wonder when a European Constitution "forget" their Christian roots and, with them, their history, their culture, their identity.
After all, they say, nothing happened. E ' only a symbol, an icon, an avatar. Remove the lion and put a rabbit. Delete the cross and put a diamond. What will? The only hassle is that we should change our lexicon: it can no longer say "shoot on the Red Cross" but "shoot on the Diamond."
ps: en passant, we recall that the origin of the Red Cross symbol has no connection with Christianity, is just the Swiss flag with colors reversed. But this, now, it's just a whim archaeological taste.
