From Up Pompeii:
Cricket team told it can't call itself the "Crusaders" ..... in case it offends Muslims and JewsA cricket team has been forced to change its name after angry complaints from Muslims and Jews.The Middlesex Crusaders, who have played under the name for almost 10 years, will play next season as The Panthers.Bosses at the county club acted after protests about the name from Jewish and Muslim communities, who said they felt it was a reference to the religious wars waged by Christians in Europe against other faiths.

But Middlesex members condemned the decision to change the team’s name and described the move as “batty”.“The world really has gone mad,” one said. “It’s a real kick in the teeth and is bound to upset a lot of fans.”Middlesex chief executive Vinny Codrington said his club “had one or two complaints from our Muslim community and our Jewish community”.“The name was nothing whatsoever to do with the Crusades in the 11th and 12th century,” Mr Codrington said.Middlesex, which plays most of its home games at Lord’s in St John’s Wood, won the 2008 Twenty20 Cup.
The Opinionator opines:As I'm sure my readers know - after years of posts - that I subscribe to the theory of Incrementalism when it comes to the Islamisation of the UK - or anywhere for that matter - which is why I tend to focus of the everday changes occurring in British life that will lead us all to eventual Islamic subjucation culminating in muslims realising the Global Caliphate.

Thus comes the latest example of dhimmitude brought about the near constant din of whining and outraged muslims. Muslims who came to a country they well knew was NOT Islamic yet clearly seek to turn it into a cesspool of Islamic tyranny. 

Complicit in this muslim tyranny is the repressive Labour Government and the EU.

Here are some interesting remarks:

"This is a very common point of view: that people who live under repressive or corrupt governments are in some sense responsible for their own fate. After all, why don't they act to improve the regime or replace it with a different one?"

"If it has a relatively loyal army and secret police, a highly repressive government can survive for decades even if the vast majority of its subjects disapprove of it. Indeed, as economist Timur Kuran explains in an excellent book, such governments can often prevent both their people and outside observers from even realizing the full extent of the regime's unpopularity. Repression can make it dangerous for ordinary people to express their antigovernment views, much less act on them."

"To be sure, even a totalitarian state would fall apart if all or most of the population ceased to cooperate with it simultaneously. However, organizing such concerted resistance is a classic collective action problem, in which each individual has strong and understandable incentives to free ride on the efforts of others. Not to mention the fact that efforts to organize against the govenrment are likely to be ruthlessly suppressed and punished by the authorities. "

"To some extent, of course, repressive societies often do have differing cultural values from freer ones. Yet these differences may be as much the result of repression as the cause of it. Living in an oppressive society reduces trust, "normalizes" corruption, and habituates people to government domination of the economy and civil society. In addition, repressive regimes often engage in extensive indoctrination of their subjects, while suppressing opposing points of view."   LINK 

So what Country is the above author discussing?  Easily could be Great Britain.........................but it is not.........the comments are made about Putin's Russia!  The similarities to the current situation in Britain/EU are startling.

Another example of the slow death of Britain - and please note that the "Jews" tag-a-long is just that - highly unlikely that the British Jewish population is offended by the use of "Crusaders".  Just more propaganda trotted out by Labour muslim apologists trying to cloud who the real complainers/problems are = MUSLIMS!
