[Archived] Blackburn Rovers Fans St George's Flag Confiscated As 'racist Symbol'

[roversmum]

I had a feeling there was a mistake somewhere!!! lol

Suggest we ALL take the St Geroge's Flag next year...

Agreed - lets not forget next time. It would be quality if we could get a massive club one made up and take it down there.

[roversmum]

I have one with Rovers crest on it - will be interested to see what they make of that!

do'nt forget we are 75% muslim now,its a disgrace to fly a national flag in somebody else's country

You obviously didn't bother reading my earlier post. i teach mainly Moslem kids. they were not offended and couldn't understand why anyone would be. Also isn't St George the patron saint of somewhere like Turkey too? Or am I confusing him with someone else?

St George was from Turkey & is patron saint of many nations.

huh?

How do you link an England flag being viewed as a racist symbol with Muslims?

You may be shocked to hear this but most BRITISH Muslims are proud of the flag, a straw poll in my class (90% Muslim), no one thought it was racist and a lot call themselves British- including myself.
