The Red Cross Just Wanted Us To Know ...

The Red Cross stopped by Infidel Bloggers Alliance and left us a message this morning. They just wanted us to know that they are not eliminating the Red Cross logo because they are afraid of Muslims. 

Oh, no!

They only developed the "Red Crystal" logo for "certain circumstances". Other than these unspecified circumstances (read situations in which Muslims are involved), they will still use the Red Cross.

You know what? Fuck the Red Cross. 

But, here's their statement anyway, just so you can be an informed "World Citizen":

I noticed an uptick in online conversation about our emblem recently. Since many of the comments seemed to be a bit misinformed, I thought it might be wise to use this space to clear up any misconceptions. I reached out to one of our International Law Advisors to help clarify the issue:

The following is from Claire Clement, International Law Advisor at the British Red Cross:

You may have heard whisperings that an additional protective emblem to the red cross and red crescent has been introduced – the red crystal emblem. In fact, the red crystal was adopted by the international community back in 2005. In recent weeks, the UK Parliament has passed national legislation that recognises the red crystal emblem as having the same meaning and protected status as the red cross and red crescent in the UK. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about the new additional emblem.

Q: Why do we need an additional emblem?

A: The introduction of an additional emblem was necessary for two reasons. First, there is a real concern that in certain contexts the red cross and red crescent emblems may not always be respected, despite their neutral meaning. The red crystal was introduced so that those who use the emblems, such as the medical services of the armed forces, can enhance their protection in these contexts.

Second, a small number of States and their National Societies felt unable to use the red cross or red crescent emblems, or alternatively wished to use both together, for example Israel and Eritrea. The red crystal emblem may be used by these States and, with the approval of their government, the National Society within the State. This will enable these National Societies to play their full part as members of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

Q: Why a “red crystal”?

A: After a thorough consultation process, the name “red crystal” and the shape itself (a square frame on its edge) were chosen because they are widely accepted as having no religious or political significance.

Q: Will the red crystal replace the red cross and red crescent emblems?

A: No. The red crystal is an additional emblem to the red cross and red crescent. All three emblems have the same neutral meaning and are protected under international and national laws.

Q: Who will use it?

A: In the UK, the red cross emblem will continue to be used. However the government may approve use of the red crystal in certain circumstances. For example, the medical services of the armed forces may be authorised to use the red crystal (or indeed, the red crescent) in situations where they feel it will provide better protection than the red cross, such as during certain international deployments.

Q: Will the British Red Cross continue to use the red cross emblem?

A: Yes. The red cross is one of the most recognisable symbols in the world, and has served the British Red Cross well since its establishment in 1876. The British Red Cross will not change its name, and will continue to use the red cross emblem to promote its own humanitarian activities. In rare cases, the British Red Cross may, with the approval of the government, choose to use the red crystal emblem for a limited time, in order to facilitate its humanitarian work.

By the way, I have no idea who the chick in the photo is. However, going purely by looks, I'd say she looks like the kind of One-Worlder Idiot who would construct such a message and believe it sufficed as an explanation.

And, you know, not to outdo her, but I'm gonna dig into the history of the Red Cross here a little bit.

Did you know that the Red Cross was founded as a Christian organization, to help people in need back in 1863. In 1919, they chose to take on the "Red Crescent" as a symbol because Muslims rejected the Cross as a symbol.

However, when Israel asked for a "Red Star" of David symbol to be recognized within their state, Red Cross leader Cornelio Sommaruga replied, "If we're going to have the Shield of David, why would we not have to accept the swastika?"

So, in other words, the Red Cross (a Christian organization) has no problem pandering to Islam, it has no problem pandering to political correctness (Red Crystal seems to be a particularly Pagan symbol), but there' is no way in hell they are going to pander to those Nazi Jews.

Like I said, Fuck the Red Cross. For all the good they have done, they owe the world an apology.
