But the Church of England is considering rejecting England's patron saint St George on the grounds that his image is too warlike and may offend Muslims.
The scheme, to be considered by the Church's parliament, the General Synod, has met a cautious but sympathetic response from senior bishops.
If St Alban replaced St George, the red cross on a white background would have to be replaced as England's flag by Alban's symbol, a diagonal yellow cross on a blue background that bears a strong similarity to St Andrew's cross, the flag of Scotland.
The proposal has been put forward by the Rev Philip Chester, vicar of St Matthew's, Westminster, who has called the use of St George as patron saint 'dotty'.
George has become unfashionable among politicians and bureaucrats. His saint's day, April 23, has no official celebration in England, and councils have banned the St George flag from their buildings and vehicles during the World Cup.
In the article there is no mention of who these cowards are trying to appease, as if that were necessary. How long before the people of the West realize that their "leaders" and "elites" are determined to sell out their civilization to the barbarians?

Hopefully I can rally some troops or at least get a discussion going on YouTube on this subject. I ranted a bit about St. George and also about the "Hunk of the Week". I can't figure out what women think is sexy.

I'm trying to get an anti-jihadi presence built up there.
