Talk about hypersensativity, and doesn't the "Zion is a term that refers to the city of Jerusalem and Iran does not recognize Israel." go against the spirit of the Olympics anyway? I say good riddance.

haha I wonder how many hours countless Iranians spent analyzing that logo trying to find something that might possibly be seen as an affront to their oh-so-high values.

"They will know heghan belongs to the helghast"

"England expects that everyman will do his duty"

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

The London logo shows the numbers 2012 in four jagged multi-colored figures and was launched in 2007. Zion is a term that refers to the city of Jerusalem and Iran does not recognize Israel.

why make a fuss of something you dont recognise?

the fact that their bothered about it means they do recognise it....if they didnt then the 'term' wouldnt 'refer' in the first place.
