Question

Would it anger Nick Griffin and the BNPS to say that St George was a Turk?

Yes this is the shocking truth i heard today. St George the very epitome of Englishness, St George the Red cross on the white flag was no other then a Turk!

Im sure normal, decent British people dont care about his origins or where he came from but celebrate too rightly the great hero who slew that alleged dragon.

But how will Nick Griffin and BNP and other far right racists accept that the very hero of Englishnesses was none other then a Turk. "An 'orrible Turk" An Islamic yes Islamic Turk the very thing that Nick Griffin and the BNP seem to detest?

I mean the BNP humiliated themselves a few months ago when they tried to use a RAF battle of Britain poster except to later realise that the pilot in the picture were Polish pilots who defended Britain valiantly from the scourge of Nazism.

I mean how will this go down with the BNP then do you think? To realise that the very thing the St George they have loved and used it for their hateful purposes was none other then a Islamic Turk! Do you think they are saying now "Ok guys lets forget and disband this BNP this racism business just isn't working"

Answer 1

St George was a Roman soldier



•Born in Turkey (in Cappadocia)

•Lived in 3rd century

•His parents were Christian

•Became a Roman soldier

•Protested against Rome's persecution of Christians

•Imprisoned and tortured, but stayed true to his faith

•Beheaded at Lydda in Palestine

St. George is believed to have been born in Cappadocia (now Eastern Turkey) in the year A.D. 270. He was a Christian. At the age of seventeen he joined the Roman army and soon became renowned for his bravery. He served under a pagan Emperor but never forgot his Christian faith.



When the pagan Emperor Diocletian started persecuting Christians, St. George pleaded with the Emperor to spare their lives. However, St. George's pleas fell on deaf ears and it is thought that the Emperor Diocletian tried to make St. George deny his faith in Christ, by torturing him. St George showed incredible courage and faith and was finally beheaded near Lydda in Palestine on 23 April, 303.

Answer 2

many people over time have laid claim to St George but most information seems to indicate he was Romano, British, however like Robin Hood, King Arthur there is absolutely no evidence that these were real, or simply an amalgam of different people

over centuries.



Nick Griffin doesn't know squat about British History, but neither do many of my compatriots who were born here, who don't support the BNP



Most Saints like St Pat were not from the country that claimed them, that of course shouldn't matter if you

need a hero, someone to aspire to.
