Indeed, the same way as if you replace the blue in the French flag with green, turn it 90°, and slap the Nishan Rasmi symbol in the middle, you get the Iranian flag, which means that France is a Muslim state.
Claiming that any and every skull is Totenkopf is as empty-brained and deranged as saying that Hamlet is Nazi propaganda because of the Yorick scene, and every biology classroom is Nazi-affiliated because of the skeleton model in it. There are better reasons to hate ICE than making up random shit on the web. Especially since the OP claim has rather thin proof to it.
Your BBC style of one-sentence-per-paragraph ramblings also raises severe suspicion of a mental illness.
Oh.
Ok.
Well then, fuck off nazi!
Ok but actually, speaking as a person who studied flags, its not actually far off. Obviously not the France being muslim part, and whether or not the Iranian flag has any influence from the french, Idk, but there would have been a good chance you would have been right if you threw a dart at a map. Although more accurately most tricolor flags are inspired from either the red, white, and blue or the orange, white, and blue Dutch flags. Some of them in really roundabout ways.
Firstly, obviously someone invented tricolor flags, it's not much of a revelation.
Secondly, if you studied a bit more, you'd know that the colors of Iranian flag aren't random, but are typical for Muslim countries and are a subset of the pan-Arabic colors. Green represents Islam in Muslim symbology both in flags and elsewhere.
I mean, I really cannot think of anything worse as a symbol than a skull
A rat’s anus?
