Quote by: rmnunez The decades of controversy stem from the association of the Red Cross emblem with Christianity, so we can't have the International Red Cross delivering help sporting crosses, this would be offensive to Muslims and others. In fact the emblem is the Swiss flag inverted, it was chosen because the institution originated in that country, has nothing to do with Christianity. |
and the Swiss flag has a cross because.... hey! Europe was Christian
but I agree, the founder didn't choose the symbol out of religious association. I wonder what they will come up with.. a square maybe?
