I say banner and not flag or logo because we need to re-orient ourselves back to when we used to see things more clearly:

www.mbohbot.com/Empire%20Crusader.jpg

The White field with Red cross is a wondefully simple and powerful symbol, but it has two drawbacks for use as a unifying totem in the Final Crusade:

1) Non-Christians such as India and (hopefully) China will be involved, and we should respect their seperate identity; and

2) The English still use it

This I like. But definitely agreed, the imagery is not universal enough.

The islamofascists are enemies of everyone who is not, well, islamofascist.

The Christian cross on this wonderful image is not suitable to Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Mandeans, etc who are equally under siege.

And the terrorist jihad isn't even just against "the West". India and Thailand are about as "Eastern" as one can get.

What about an image (someone would have to craft such a thing) showing a multiethnic army (It's not just white people who are dealing with Jihadis...) with "soldiers of freedom" each under his or her sign of faith or ethnic identity. United, facing the viewer.

Sure, some less-numerous peoples and faiths would have to be left out. There's no way we could portray all the peoples of the world, because, heck, we are ALL targetted for conversion or death.

But we could at least have the half-dozen most numerous and powerful: Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, Sikhs, and scientific/agnostic/atheists (perhaps with an atomic symbol on their shield)

I listed the above peoples as best I could in order of historicity, in the interest of fairness. This IS a universal "us v them".

lets not just have antiquated swords and shields. Show us with state of the art aircraft overhead, tanks behind us, and sweet, sweet personal armaments, because that's what we're hunting them with, not longbows, swords, knights, and pikemen.

'Cause Christofascism is somehow better than all the other current fascist reduxes, right kids? Because it's your form of fascism. Go team!

I have a good idea for a symbol; How about a white man wearing horse blinders and a stick tied to his back that extends over his head and dangles a picture of Jesus in front of him. He should be carrying a grenade launcher in one hand and a wad of cash in the other. His huge feet squash thousands of tiny homosexuals and communists with each step.

Not THAT is a symbol! :D

All the other Religious extremists aren't as good at blowing up stuff and killing people as the Islamofascists right now, so they aren't numero uno. Of course, if they start killing people across the world for opposing them or not converting to the flying spaghetti monster, etc yeah, they will get bump'd up.



DM? Is that you?


Nope, this isn't DM. It's Captain pooby, and I nixed the DM account. I finnaly got the SN I wanted ;)

The first Holy Crusade Vol. 2 will be to take Dumbfuckistan, then we'll go to Asshatia, next south to Fuckmea, and finally to Shtiheadistahn.

1) Non-Christians such as India and (hopefully) China will be involved, and we should respect their seperate identity; and

2) The English still use it

This I like. But definitely agreed, the imagery is not universal enough.

The islamofascists are enemies of everyone who is not, well, islamofascist.

The Christian cross on this wonderful image is not suitable to Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Mandeans, etc who are equally under siege.

And the terrorist jihad isn't even just against "the West". India and Thailand are about as "Eastern" as one can get.

What about an image (someone would have to craft such a thing) showing a multiethnic army (It's not just white people who are dealing with Jihadis...) with "soldiers of freedom" each under his or her sign of faith or ethnic identity. United, facing the viewer.

Sure, some less-numerous peoples and faiths would have to be left out. There's no way we could portray all the peoples of the world, because, heck, we are ALL targetted for conversion or death.

But we could at least have the half-dozen most numerous and powerful: Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, Sikhs, and scientific/agnostic/atheists (perhaps with an atomic symbol on their shield)

I listed the above peoples as best I could in order of historicity, in the interest of fairness. This IS a universal "us v them".

lets not just have antiquated swords and shields. Show us with state of the art aircraft overhead, tanks behind us, and sweet, sweet personal armaments, because that's what we're hunting them with, not longbows, swords, knights, and pikemen.

Uh, well. Wow.

Well, I guess if this all the Muslims vs. everyone else in the world thing does occur, I know not to run to pooby's place to hide because he'd probably stab my fucking eyes out.
