We read:
"University professors in the Netherlands are not allowed to voice "unscientific" opinions that are too critical of Islam. One such opinion is the statement of Pieter W. van der Horst that "the Nazis' irrational hatred of the Jews has been adopted in the contemporary Islamic world."
At a meeting today in Amsterdam a large majority of the chancellors of the Dutch universities agreed that "academic freedom at universities should be limited."

St. George Becoming Unmentionable
But only among the British elite. The ordinary English people love their saint and his flag more than ever. We read of their contemptible Established Church:
"The Church of England is considering rejecting England's patron saint St George on the grounds that his image is too warlike and may offend Muslims....
Clergy have started a campaign to replace George with St Alban, a Christian martyr in Roman Britain....
If St Alban replaced St George, the red cross on a white background would have to be replaced as England's flag by Alban's symbol, a diagonal yellow cross on a blue background."

It helps you to understand one thing that is wrong with an establishment of religion. It becomes effete and corrupt.
Being an academic, I cannot resist grumbling about the poor grammar in the article from which the above quote was taken. "slayed" is used in the headline instead of the usual "slain": Just another example of the constant Leftist attack on educational standards bearing fruit, I guess.
