2012 = ZION SERIOUSLY?

Article Link: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/02/28/iran-objects-racist-london-2012-olympics-logo/?test=latestnews?test=latestnews

London will be hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics. The Olympics is a time when all of the world comes together to celebrate, boast, and to compete against each other. The logo that has been picked for the 2012 Olympics is that of the number 2012 written in abstract print.

Not according to Iran! Iran objects the logo on grounds that the logo is racist and "resembles" the word "Zion." It is a worldwide conspiracy!

Zion is " a biblical term widely recognized to refer to the city of Jerusalem". This comes from a country whose president denies the Holocaust ever happened. What do you think of this claim? How would you respond?

  2. I don't understand why certain fundamentalist countries have to use every opportunity they have to make Anti-Semetic accusations. The world better not embrace this notion by changing the chosen symbol!
