Political Correctness Dragon Kills St. George

Mike McNally in today's Pajamas Media update: How can freedom survive when officials capitulate to the mere notion of extremism?

How, indeed.

British officials cancelled plans for a St. George's Day parade on the grounds that it might be offensive to area Muslims - who hadn't even complained.

McNally gets into the nitty-gritty of the event cancellation, but I think it may be time to refresh our memories about St. George and his slain dragon. First stop, Wikipedia (I find this less sad and pathetic as time goes on....different post). Then, Brittania History, which gives a good account as well:

According to the apocryphal Acts of St George current in various versions
in the Eastern Church from the fifth century, George held the rank of tribune in
the Roman army and was beheaded by Diocletian for protesting against the
Emperor's persecution of Christians. George rapidly became venerated throughout Christendom as an example of bravery in defence of the poor and the defenceless and of the Christian faith.
