Public Comments

1. A jihad on red cross!

2. I dont think soo.. wow random question

3. No, of course not. That's just stupid.

4. NO that would be really dumb. im muslim and the red cross wouldnt insult me at all i think they would be really stupid if they were. If a muslim was insulted then that would mean they dont understand there religion at all or there being really dramatic

5. well some say they are. the Red Cross had to accomodate these people with the "Red Crescent"

6. Depends on the circumstances, and the Muslim's.

7. i know where you're coming from....
A white kit with a red cross in it... hum... reminds them of cruzaders, lol

Muslims are just like you and me, they are people.
Truth be told, some people are rational and predisposed to be peaceful and ok with things, and they always find a way to. Others are irrational and predisposed to hatred and being pissed off about everything, so they always find a way to being pissed off also. Be sure to stick to the first kind of people and you'll always be fine. :)

If they have at least a little bit of culture, live/have lived around Europe or in the Americas, they know it to be a sign of first aid. Even if not, I'd think they'd still know the symbol and you would be apologized for not knowing better if you unknowingly insulted them. If there's an extremist who doesn't want to be aided, just let him go! lol

8. Very fair question. Their dufuss caste (clergy) are all over the board on this one, if I am not mistaken. So yes, there are some muslims who would refuse aid from kafirs (non-muslims).

Don't forget, we are talking about the same culture that actually has some monkeys who won't let woman leave a burning building if they are not covered.

9. Why would they

10. According to The Straits Times, Bangladesh's largest state-run hospital has banned staff from wearing full-face burqas after an increase in thefts of mobile phones and wallets from wards. Also some burqa-wearing staff had been secretly sending unqualified 'proxy workers' to cover shifts for them

11. Not half as insulted as if the people who come to aid them bear the emblem of the Magen David Adom

12. Yes, they use a red crescent instead of a red cross in Muslim countries.


Torg

13. yes

14. No. Islam is like the ocean..., and throwing one stone would cause no harm.

Peace,

15. No they are grateful like every human.
