As Stephen Fry said, you're offended? So fucking what.
Misappropriation of imagery is and has been a common and timeless methodology for all types of groups. Christianity flourished through the integration of pagan customs, stories and practices. The Nazis plundered many icons and images including Buddhist iconography. The fact that an extremist group can monopolise and forever be associated with a once benign representation is probably a conversation for another good long day but….as Megatron said, this site is about clothing and denim.
Anyway, good call and a well measured and stoically reasoned response. Kudos.

Apt response Mega . Had no idea this was going on . As you said , there are plenty of other forums for political, religious and other wildly polarizing topics .

As someone who ended up here via Belgium's chatter on an diy music forum this is bringing me more than a little chuckle.
But it raises a serious point of the unseen work of the Mod Squad, so a timely cheers to the crew for the efforts and I think making this open for consumption is a reminder of the hassles that can go bubbling just beneath the surface.
Right on to the real.
