Of solar crosses

Browsing around the sites,as I dpo, I came across a post on Jihad Watch celebrating the Battle of Tours, when Charles the Hammer (as he was called) battled off the Islamic armies invading what was then Gaul (and is now France).

I couldn’t help but notice the cross in the top left…

I’m not going to claim for a moment that the cross on DeWinter’s bookshelf was a celebration of the battle of Tours (iven the historical context of Flanders it’s more likely a symbol of Flemish national identity) but the fact that this cross, supposedly a symbol of neo-nazism, is just so ubiquitous, and the fact that this cross is in essence identical to the supposed “fascist” version… well it makes me giggle, really, to see the contortions people go through to prove something is evil,. Like the swastika, they say the nazi version was rotating the “wrong way” or something but the truth is, ancient vedic temples in India have swastikas facing all over the place. The mere presence of either symbol does not in and of itself prove someone is a nazi.

Just thought I’d say that. :)
