"Immigrants Want Cross Removed from Swiss Flag"
Do you see anything wrong with this? Well, I do!...
Soeren Kern reported this at Hudson-NY.org:
"An immigrant group based in Bern has called for the emblematic white cross to be removed from the Swiss national flag because as a Christian symbol it 'no longer corresponds to today's multicultural Switzerland.'
Ivica Petrusic, the vice president of Second@s Plus, a lobbying group that represents mostly Muslim second-generation foreigners in Switzerland (who colloquially are known as secondos) says the group will launch a nationwide campaign in October to ask Swiss citizens to consider adopting a flag that is less offensive to Muslim immigrants."
