It may be worse. They got rid of the crosses on our flag and the rest of its history and symbolism - I.e. the Red Ensign - and replaced it with meaningless 60's pop art that doubles as the Liberal Party logo.
If I recall, that legislation was rammed through Parliament despite being extremely unpopular because of the opposite, passionate pride most Canadians felt for the Red Ensign.
The flag persists because whole generations have come and gone since then, so Canadians are used to the Maple Leaf over the Red Ensign.
Same with Canadians saying happy Canada Day over happy Dominion Day!
Americans now say happy 4rth of July instead of happy Independence Day.
I would be angry if Congress changed Old Glory. Like the Red Ensign, she has been added to, but never replaced.
In wartime, flag bearers carried her into battle. When she was dropped, she was picked up again, often at great peril, in order to remain waving.
Jerks who change such cherished symbols of their nation such as her flag are unkind to their forefathers and ancestors. Their legacy is that of leaving their nation that greater a dearth of heritage. Shame!
If this happens then by logic every Muslim crescent need also be removed from every national flag, as Islam is far more problematic (even today) than any other religion on earth.
She is the figurehead for one of the churches there. There was a huge story with people freaking out that she was the figurehead for the Church of Sweden, but it's a church of the church. Still, it could happen.
Sweden has no go zones in Stockholm and in greater Swedish country. It is a tragedy that Free Swedes cannot even walk on certain areas of Swedish soil.
I just believe that because each nation governs differently from her unique culture, it seems foolish to mix an antithetical people together.
For example, the Germans who drink beer and the Russians who drink Vodka drink through custom because of their cold climate.
The Arabians readily adopted the Mohamet law against wine as in prior times it was already tradition to mostly drink aqua; wine dehydrates and is dangerous in the desert Sun.
Likewise, the Carthaginians had a law against drinking of the wine, and their climate was really the same!
Egypt is hot, why was she different?
Egyptians possess the great Nile, so her slaves could dull the pain of labor with that pleasurous liquid.
At the marriage of Cana, the Savior turned water into wine because Mary told him so in order to keep the wedding guests happy.
Give strong drink to those in trouble, and wine to be drunk by them who are in sorrow;
that they may forget their distress and no more remember their troubles.
—Proverbs 31:6-7
If no unity could be found on the matter of alcohol, what on deeper passions such as religion?
Or the frustrations and weaknesses that arise when one cannot understand his fellow countryman?
If the language is foreign to the tongue, what, then, when it tastes unfamiliar foods?
Or when the eye spots a foreign dress that is not suited for the climate, but persists from loyalty of a foreign custom?
Or when the eye sees a landscape dotted with alien architecture?
Soon, the habitat in which his ancestors built and maintained will be squandered and he will not recognize his own country.
This would naturally create intense friction and result in resentment.
If the cards were to be shuffled and people mixed, would Sweden not, then, find itself segregating itself?
The laws would reflect the areas and the original way would cede ground to those that have been lost to the foreigners.
Is it in the benefit of a nation to have the area on which one's religion is sacred, traditions are honored, language is spoken, clothes are worn, food is eaten, and architecture inhabited to slowly become less and less square miles, until one's country is unrecognizable?
I would say that such a society would have perished before the Stars, having gone the way of the Romans.
Wow, and I thought things were bad over here.
It may be worse. They got rid of the crosses on our flag and the rest of its history and symbolism - I.e. the Red Ensign - and replaced it with meaningless 60's pop art that doubles as the Liberal Party logo.
Ah yes, the Maple Leaf Flag.
If I recall, that legislation was rammed through Parliament despite being extremely unpopular because of the opposite, passionate pride most Canadians felt for the Red Ensign.

Last Christmas the Church of Sweden declared Greta Thunberg the successor of Jesus on 12/01/2018.

I was born and raised in the Church of England, but I left Anglicanism for similar reasons of lunacy.
Thomas Hooker of MA, er, CT was right.
Now, instead of worshipping my Creator in my Church, I worship the Holy Spirit within the Temple that is myself.
I am my own Church.
And I worship the Lord of the Stars. ?
That IS blasphemy, or at least way too close to it for my comfort.
And you do not require authority. You are an equal to the Pope in the Vatican.
Thus, you need only your reason to uncover the truth.
The Church of Sweden is an authority.
Yet, you, who have none, saw where the Church of Sweden was blind!
Sweden has a real self loathing for some reason. It's fucking pitiful.
Oh no! Not the Scandinavian Cross!
The Swedish flag should just be stick figures of Swedes tossing their daughters into a brown rape ring.
If this happens then by logic every Muslim crescent need also be removed from every national flag, as Islam is far more problematic (even today) than any other religion on earth.

Import Muslims and suffer Islam. ?
