Jack Daniels flag mistaken for ISIS literature
05 Oct 2017
A man who hoisted a Jack Daniels flag along with an Italian flag in Zurich was accused of flying the ISIS 'black flag of death.' Concerned neighbours in Zurich confused the Tennessee distiller's logo with the so-called Islamic State flag and some put a note at his house in Switzerland saying they would put him and his girlfriend under watch, saying: "Should we be afraid of you? First the Italian flag and now the black flag of death."
The 29-year man who has an Italian background and wanted to remain anonymous, said: "I hung it up, because I found it funny,' metro.co.uk reported. He found the anonymous note when got home on Saturday.
"I was completely flabbergasted when I read it," he said. The man said he does not know who exactly wrote the letter. He said, "I talked to the neighbours but no-one knows anything about it."
The man said as soon as he finds out who was behind it, he may consider legal steps. "When it is wrongly told that we are supporters of IS, it is defamation," he said.
He also does not have any intentions of removing the Jack Daniels flag, as "then we would prove them right."
