Behold the Bloody Cross

At last people seem to be realising that some religious symbols are actually quite offensive to others. There are two solutions of course, ban them all or permit them all, however no-one has actually considered the middle ground of talking about what it is that some people find offensive about the blasted things.
Women's dress for muslims is found offensive in the West presumably because we associate it with repression of women or having something to hide - yet how come some christian nuns are allowed to wear wimples which cover just as much? - and are probably even more repressed than the followers of Islam if only we knew...
Then of course there is the cross of Christ - used as a symbol of oppression during the crusades (a sort of early medieval club 18-30 holiday) to rally those who didn't like the spread of Islam and also used as an excuse for the Burning Times. Therefore a symbol of oppression worthy of a ban.
Yet the only symbol that I am aware of being univerally abhored is the Fylfot Cross (or swastika) which I seem to recall was a symbol whose meaning was subverted by the Nazis, who whilst committing atrocities and genocide on a vast scale over a relatively short period of time surely didn't kill as many people as the whole of the world's religions combined.
