A Cultural Coup D’Etat
A symbol of Islam is suddenly appearing on flags all across America.
The traditional five-point American star is being erased and replaced with the eight-point Islamic symbol in what some people believe is a threat to national security and a cultural coup d’etat.
“Because of my background in the military, these are the indicators we are trained to look for,” said Donna Bergstrom, Deputy Chair of the Republican party of Minnesota.
The state will unveil its new flag, bearing an 8-point star much like those displayed on flags across the Islamic world, on May 11, the anniversary of Minnesota statehood.
“I was commissioned in the US Marine Corps and served as a signals intelligence /electronic warfare officer and as a general intelligence officer,” said Bergstrom.
“When we have aspects of our national security – and what we are going to stand for as Americans degraded and or changed, this must be factored. Especially in this moment of time, changing the state’s flag is not a good idea.”
Flags in the United States historically display only five-point stars, a tradition dating back to the Betsy Ross flag of 1776.
The American flag, with its 50 five-point stars, is ranked number one as the most recognizable in the world. The Star-Spangled-Banner isn’t merely a symbol of American courage and indefatigable spirit, it is what America represents— freedom. The flag’s 50 stars represent the 50 states and 13 stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British crown and became the first states in the Union.
Minnesota will become the first US state displaying anything but the five-point stars treasured in American heritage.
Eight-point stars hold equal meaning in Islamic culture, tracing its importance first to Babylonian culture and then to scripture.
Per the Quran, verse 69:17, on the Day of Judgement: “On that Day eight ˹mighty angels˺ will bear the Throne of your Lord above them.”
For this reason, eight is critical to Islamic history, culture, and art. The eight-point star is one of the most prominent symbols in Islam.
