Out of curiosity about the graphic you put up, what is the meaning of that expression (’C’ OE ‘star’ IS ‘cross’) that appears initially?

There are several variations of the "coexist" graphic (suggest you Google it), all placing the various symbols of religion in lieu of the letters. In its simplest form, the one used in the graphic, you have the Crescent of Islam, the Star of David, and the Christian Cross represented, making it the plea for coexistence. Others might use the peace sign for the "o", I've seen a mini-Star dotting the "i", etc.

A noble aim to be true. My take on it, and why I asled for the graphic, is that radical elements can co-opt a religion and "eat the others up," the pacman analogy fitting today's scenario. Rather than a slam on The Religion of Peace is is a call for them to guard against poerception becoming reality. A retro version could have the cross turn into a sword and impale from right to left. Christians don't do that anymore.

All those religions should be able to co-exist.
