The '
X' stands for 'Cross', which is offensive for Jews and Muslims.
While Jews in general don't bother, many Muslims do.
Recently the International Red Cross announced its search for another - and less religious related - symbol. The reality is that the Red Cross sign has no direct connection to the Christian sign of the cross, but is the reverse of the Swiss national flag, since it was founded in and is based in Switserland. But who cares about reality nowadays...
The most probable replacement will be a red square.
However, if the Inernational Red Cross (IRC) will be called the International Red Square (IRS) I forsee it might scare scores of others though.
Lately I'm starting to have monthly periods of aggrevation when I walk across the street at night and I see the moon as a crescent in the sky. I strongly feel that this crescent should be replaced by a less religious related symbol. How about a square?
