He trobat la notícia en anglès. Pels que en sabeu una mica, us la penjo. Crec que més aviat és un excés de zel per part del policia.

ENGLISH CROSS OF ST GEORGE FLAG DEEMED OFFENSIVE TO MUSLIMS
Recently, Ben Smith, an English football fan, decided to show his team support by displaying the flag of England - the red St. George's Cross - on his car. Mr. Smith was pulled over by police on a routine traffic stop but the gist of the stop was far from "routine" --- or is it?
Ben was stunned to be told by the policeman that his Flag of England was racist and "offensive to immigrants" and that he would be fined $60 if he refused to remove it from view.
"Mr Smith, of Melksham, Wiltshire, said: “I honestly could not believe what the police officer was saying. “He wasn’t rude about it at all. He was just very matter-of-fact about the flag being racist and offensive to immigrants.” Mr Smith, an avid England football fan, said he used the flag to cover up a new set of speakers, which he wanted to hide from would-be thieves He said: “I just thought he was joking and started to laugh, but he looked at me very seriously and said that I would have to pay a £30 on-the-spot fine if I refused. “It was really strange and I drove home quite shocked.”
Upon further question as to why and when the display of the English flag IN ENGLAND - became a racist act - the police spokespersons stumbled through a few lame excuses:
1 - It could be viewed as an "inflammatory act - citing Polish immigrants might be offended?? Highly unlikely the predominantly Catholic Polish would find a cross offensive.
2 - The officer asked Mr. Smith to remove the flag as an issue of "road safety" - the officer rationalized "Road safety and the ability to have a clear view at all times of what is behind you is of great public importance." Oddly enough there is no log of Mr Smith being stopped indicating there was nothing wrong with his car.
So what groups of immigrants is consistently offended by the Cross of St George - and what group would demand such pandering to their religious beliefs? Why muslims - of course. Muslims have made an issue - worldwide - of crosses being offensive to them -- here are just a few instances:
Turkish lawyer files complaint with Union of European Football Associations stating that the Inter Milan's team shirts consists of a big red cross on a white background. This has apparently reminded the Turks of an emblem of the order of the Templars, which is therefore deemed offensive to Muslims. The cross is the emblem of Milan
Hospital bans traditional Easter Hot Cross Buns = offensive to non=Christians ie: muslims.
Cross banned from chapel after being in the chapel for over 60 years --at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, USA - offends muslims.
Cross of St George is also used by Barcelona football team from Spain - on their badge - similar to the Inter-Milan incident it was deemed racist and offensive to muslims. Many muslim nations are altering the Barcelona shirts so it will not look like a cross.
These are just a few of the assaults made against the any representation of the Christian cross by muslims. A brief search of the web will find many more. Clearly muslims are working towards incrementally forcing the eradication of the Christian cross from any public view. With the help of such pandering, multicultural worshipping, politically correct dhimmis - including the British police - muslims may very well succeed.

POLICE TOLD FAN TO HIDE "RACIST" ST GEORGE FLAG
by Martin Evans
A football fan says police ordered him to remove an England flag from his car – because it could be deemed racist.
Ben Smith, 18, was pulled over for a routine spot check by an officer who inspected his tyres and road tax.
But the labourer was stunned to be told that a St George flag covering his Vauxhall Corsa’s parcel shelf was offensive to immigrants.
He initially thought the officer was joking until he was threatened with a £30 fine if he refused to remove it from view
Mr Smith, of Melksham, Wiltshire, said: “I honestly could not believe what the police officer was saying.
“He wasn’t rude about it at all. He was just very matter-of-fact about the flag being racist and offensive to immigrants.”
Mr Smith, an avid England football fan, said he used the flag to cover up a new set of speakers, which he wanted to hide from would-be thieves
He said: “I just thought he was joking and started to laugh, but he looked at me very seriously and said that I would have to pay a £30 on-the-spot fine if I refused.
“It was really strange and I drove home quite shocked.”
Tory MP Philip Davies, who campaigns against political correctness, said: “If this is the case then it is disgusting and totally outrageous and the policeman ought to be ashamed of himself.
“How on earth can it be racist to fly your own flag in your own country?
“It is this sort of politically-correct thinking that has helped to create the problems we have today. I would like to see the Association of Chief Police Officers make it clear that anyone flying the Union Flag or the flag of St George will not be prosecuted.”
PC Dave Cooper, of Wiltshire Police, could not confirm details of the incident as it had not been logged.
But he admitted there might be situations where a police officer considered the displaying of a flag as an inflammatory act.
He said: “It all depends on the context. If they are going past a lot of Polish people, for instance, and abusing them, then we possibly would ask them to take the flag down.”
He said the officer involved in the incident could have been based anywhere in Wiltshire. The fact there was no log of Mr Smith being stopped indicated there was nothing wrong with his car.
But Chief Inspector Charlie Dibble, of Wiltshire Police, believed the issue was more likely to be one of road safety.
He said: “The officer asked him to remove the flag from his parcel shelf, where he admits it was covering his speakers.
“Road safety and the ability to have a clear view at all times of what is behind you is of great public importance.
“Officers are encouraged to take positive action in this regard and this would apply if there was any object obscuring the driver’s view.”

). Des dels romans que Catalunya ha estat una terra de pas de un colló de civilitzacions, que si més nòrdics, àrabs ... i la mateixa gent que va conquerir catalunya també va conquerir castella. A més a més, has de tenir en compte que ara gran part dels habitants de Catalunya són fills de catalans i castellans.
