Well, that opens up an entire new can of worms.
St George is a patron saint (outdated concept itself), chosen during the crusades to try to improve moral of our Christian soldiers, who killed (and likely raped and pillaged) between 1 and 3 million of Muslims to reclaim the "Holy Land" for the Christian church. Apparently, this is also when the red cross on white was born too (it started as a white cross on red, but we decided to use the French version instead).
Anyway, not exactly a good message today. Any why so many people are still offended by the English flag. I read once that it represented blood pouring down a Christian cross, although not sure if that is true.
So, in short, Great Britain was a muslim hater to the extreme for around 200 years, and carried out 9 major Jihads (aka crusades). We helped kill half as many Muslims as Hitler killed Jews.
Down with St George too, maybe?
Another anti-Britain post.
