    Lol yeah just a run of the mill religious symbol…

    You literally just said yourself that it was used while Christians genocided Muslims.

    Even if it hadn’t been adopted by white supremacists (it has), it would still be abhorrent.

    You know that the swastika was a Hindu symbol before the Nazis adopted it, right? Is the swastika not a Nazi symbol?

      yes, it is abhorrent… it’s not, however, a white supremacist symbol.
      “crusader” is a terrible term for the military to associate itself with… but definitely not as terrible as a white supremacist symbol.
      white supremacists have also “adopted” wearing boots but i’m not going to call everyone wearing boots a white supremacist.
