I posted a question on US Yahoo Answers about the southern cross tattoo and received multiple messages from people stating it was racist against muslims. Due to this I did some research on the internet and was directed to loads of articles and videos about Cronulla and the tensions between Muslims and Australians. This got me interested. I'm American, by the way. ;)

  1. Okay I just spent twenty minutes running around the net looking at Australia's flag, the Southern Cross, and the Cronulla riots, and I have to say that I agree with "Daisygirl".

    If the Muslims find the Southern Cross offencive then they are welcomed to move to Northern Greenland. Any Muslim who would call that Cross offencive is a fool looking for a fight. It would be like a hateful group of people telling me that the "Maple Leaf" on my nations flag is racist and offencive. I'd tell them to leave the land we don't need them here.

    I agree with daisygirl, the Southern Cross is a patriotic emblem. There's no racism in it at all.


  2. the southern cross tattoo represents Australian pride.  if anyone believes it represents hate or the Cronulla riots or any kind of racism, then it's just typical of people who use religion or other symbols for their own sick purposes.  I don't live in NSW (where Cronulla is) and think this is ridiculous to say that a symbol which is on our flag for goodness sake could be considered offensive to Muslims or any other religion.  It's the idiots in Cronulla who were racist and created tension, regardless of their race, religion or background, not a bunch of stars in the sky!

  3. What about the southern cross is offensive to muslims? If it's a symbol of hate I guess my New Zealand tattoo is a hate tattoo.

  4. Australian pride and hate its just the way a person looks about it
