Q. Why are English corporations and organizations taking down their Cross Of Saint George flags in response to Islamist threats.
A. Because if they just removed the red cross, they’d be mistaken for France.

since they’re taking the flags down in response to threats, they have become french.
Goe, against the french.
That’s not very damn nice to attack the French like that! They certainly don’t withdraw ALL flags during times of threat! They would NEVER think of lowering the national flag of France (The White Flag)
I guess History is doomed to repeat itself, eh Neville?
The Muslims are still pissed about Richard the Lionhearted.
Go look it up
Richard the Lionearted, isn’t he the guy who crusaded to liberate the lands that the Muslims had violently conquered? Such nerve!
Yes, He fought Saladin to a standstill along the Mediterranean coast of Palestine and Lebanon. Saladin had to sign a peace treaty that kept the crusaders along the coast for another 250 years. He never did recapture Jerusalem.
By the way the next time somebody tells you that Saladin rid the Muslim world of the crusaders tell him it isn’t true. Saladin recaptured Jerusalem and it remained in Muslim hands thereafter until 1967. After Richards crusade he had to run back to England to defeat his bastard brother and beat up on the French. Saladins generals lost all confidence in him and abandon him. If I remember right, he soon became ill died from an intestinal ailment (poison?). The treaty held for quit a while.
St. George is part of the coat of arms of Moscow and of the Russian Federation (as it was on the Tsar’s coat of arms, back when there were tsars, at least in name: is not Putin basically a tsar without a crown?).
What does the dragon represent? The Tatars (who were Muslims). Tsar Ivan III the Great (beginning as Ivan III, Grand Duke of Moscow; ending as Tsar Ivan III the Great, Grand Duke of all the Russias) threw off the yoke of Tatar suzereignty. To commemorate this victory, he had St. George slaying a snake/dragon established as the emblem of Moscow, which was used by subsequent Tsars as an emblem of the Russian Empire.
If I recall it was Robin Hood who bailed out Richard the Lionhearted by bitch slapping his brother.
Actually, the reason the pubs and businesses are banning the England Flag is because of the soccer world cup. Total non-story from a biased news source. You see, when English people play soccer, other English people have an uncontrollable urge to riot.
Just another example of the wussification of a once proud country. Britain is on a head long rush to join the ranks of the Eurotrash.
