[Australian] Army Chaplains to Remove 'Conquer' from 102-Yr-Old Motto; It's Offensive to Muslims
The Daily Telegraph (Australia) ^ | 11/20/15 | Matthew Benns

Posted on 11/23/2015 6:57:39 AM PST by marshmallow

The Australian Army is removing the motto "In this sign conquer" from the 102-year-old hat badges of army chaplains because it is offensive to Muslims.

The move comes after an imam approved by the Grand Mufti was appointed to join the Religious Advisory Committee to the Services in June.

Australian Army chaplains have had the motto on their hat badges since 1913.

A Defence spokeswoman last night denied the motto was being changed because it was associated with the Crusades, when Christian armies fought Muslims in the Holy Land during the Middle Ages.

"The motto of the Australian Army Chaplains is being changed to better reflect the diversity of religion throughout the Australian Army," she said.

"The new wording on the Australian Army Chaplaincy badge is under consideration and no decision has been made at this time."

The phrase comes from Constantine’s vision at the Milvian Bridge, which pre-dates Muhammad’s caravan raiding, butchering,pedophilic cult by 400 years.

On the bright side...at least a Muslim is not running Australia yet, although this is certainly next

I suggest that they change the motto to: "In Hoc Signo Vinces".

Let’s rewrite the Marine hymn:

From the halls of [Euro-WHITE-OPPRESSED NATIVE SOUTH AMERICANS] to shores of [THE LIBYAN SHARIA REPUBLIC]...

We will be politically correct
And [BATTLE CLIMATE CHANGE] on the land and on the sea!

[/SPIT!]

How's about, replacing the Maltese cross with a crescent and the motto with "To This Sign Submit"

No?

Still too soon?

removing the motto ... because it is offensive to Muslims.

Why stop at hat badges? Bibles and crosses offend muslims, too.

It's not so much offensive as it is intellectual copyright infringement.

The slimes were conquering long before Australia became a nation.

The Australian flag must offend all muzzles with the Union Jack in the canton. The Union Jack in England dates to 1606 and represents the union between England and Scotland. It incorporated the flag of England, a red cross on a white background, known as St.George’s Cross. St George’s Cross was used by crusaders and then adopted by England. It became associated with Saint George, the “warrior saint” often depicted as a crusader from the late Middle Ages.

So there you go...time to change to a simple white flag, Australia.

Dhimmi alert.
Yo, Australian Army Chaplains, what is offensive is Muslims.
What is pathetic is caving to the offensive, obnoxious, delicate sensitivities of the serial mass murdering Muslims.

Muslims ALWAYS will respond emotionally....they got nothing else.....they HAVE TO BLAME someone else because they have no reasoning abilities only reactionary ...it's their culture norm.....it's why they push and shove and scream and if that doesn't work then they get violent...and if that doesn't work....this happens.

The entire islam nation- has no moderate or mild, or radical believers. Only believers, by submission. All serve allah. No matter what, no matter how. Appearance, is always key to what ever job caste.

Only submission to alllah, as described by mohamet, who has no face in any artwork, from the 6th century on, till this day.

This mohamet, a hatefilled anti-human, supposedly received instructions from Gabriel, for over 2 decades, at a cave retreat every year. The lies are astounding, by proportion- given the time passed and the number of zombies created by this death cult.
