you are probably right,
myself I never bring more importance about this (cross) sign,
what is for me, a decor element, and not necessarily, a religious expression

my remark was the reflect of comments that I got,
during all the years spent in Middle-East, and even in Egypt
I understood that was a sensitive point, and I kept this in my mind
this, explaining ... that
