An RAF squadron has dropped its “Crusaders” nickname following a complaint it is offensive to Muslims.

The RAF is currently undertaking a review of its historic terminology. A single complaint has prompted an RAF squadron to ditch its “Crusaders” nickname over concerns it is offensive to Muslims. 14 Squadron was given a soubriquet after crews flew missions over Gaza and Palestine during World War 1

Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.

Its a total outrage and reflects the current PC BS world we are being forced to contend with. Seriously who gives two hoots if Muslims are offended?

Muslim woman being forced to wear a sack over their heads & bodies in public offends me, but yet if you raise this you're anti Muslim and labelled a variety of other unmentionable things.

Actually no I'm not, I'm pro female's having the right to be themselves and wear what they want.

The 'west' need to grow a pair and say meh don't give a toss.....

Guess they will have to retroactively rename the Crusader tank.

Perhaps, the new rule of thumb is that if it is Western, it is inherently offensive. Talk about cultural collapse, sad to see.

P.S. One wonders if EBAY, at some point in time, will ban the sale of Crusaders, Confederates, Cavalry figures and Nazis because they are ooooffennnsive. Alternatively, perhaps they will require a trigger warning with each listing and include directions to a safeplace.

Confederate flags, decals, symbols, etc are not allowed to be depicted on EBay.

Well there you go! Next EBAY will ban confederate toy soldiers on the grounds that they glorify slavery and intolerance. Thank for the heads up Terp152. Best wishes, Benjamin

Weird how UK also had Saracen and Saladin armoured cars.
I would guess that was done as a kind of tribute to them.
Lucky there is still one country willing to fight as there has been good news about certain leaders who will no longer be able to cause trouble.
