Trading platform: Union Jack
Question
We are trading shares on Australian Stock Exchange by using ANZ bank trading platform. However this platform is having an image of Australian Flag which contains a so-called Union Jack. Union Jack is symbol of Christianity because it contains cross and this cross originates from Christianity. When i buy or sell shares I pay $20 to ANZ trading platform. Can you tell me, what is your opinion? I fear that when I buy or sell shares and pay commission to this platform, – I am financially promoting the symbol of Christianity. I know that promoting of disbelief is disbelief itself. Am I promoting Christianity which is kufr by using this platform? Many traders use this platform and can see this Union Jack with cross on it! I can move my trading to another platform, no problem.
I uploaded an image of this platform so that you can see clearly what I mean. U can see this image clearly.
Answer
There is no sin in trading on such a platform for the reason you state in your question.
