Kelly,

That’s what I thought when I first heard the headline, what with people associating the Red Cross with non-profit activities. I think it all came about when they started actually selling good, which changes things, but I don’t know too much about it.

Rafie,

I don’t mind you posting a link, not at all. I visited your ISAC blog, and you might want to fix the ‘about us’ link in the footer. There’s a missing slash which breaks it.

I like this post. I remember when I was the president of the Red Crescent Society (similar like Red Cross) when I was 12 years old.

Regarding the crescent as symbol of Islam (during Ottoman Empire), maybe you would like to check out my Islamic Arts Club blog about it.

Moon and star – A symbol of Islam?

I hope you don’t mind I’m posting this link.

Cheers David

David,

I heard about this when it happened. It’s utterly silly. Normally I’d think yeah, protect it, but they’ve lived side-by-side for a very long time. Johnson & Johnson has made themselves sound like petty bullies on this.

Regards,

Kelly

Hi Daniel, Lauren,

Glad you liked the post. There’s also a third emblem used by the Red Cross:

An additional protective emblem – the red crystal – was established in 2005. It has equal status and meaning to the red cross and red crescent emblems.

Oh wow, I didn't know that the red crescent is used in Muslim countries. You always teach me something new, David! Thanks! LaurenMarie - Creative Curio's last blog post...My Adventures in Letterpress Continued
