ORIGINAL: RacerJim I have a problem with folks who burn the American Flag....period. I assign the label anti-American asshole to those who see a patriotic act in such an exercise. Anytime is appropriate to burn the Koran. Freedom of Speech. why is it freedom of speech to burn the Koran but not the flag in both cases the person is sending a message is it because you approve of one message but not the other? Very true ! So it stands that destroying symbols of peoples national or religious identity is either allowed or not, one cannot have one rule for one and another rule for another whilst it exists that the symbols represent people. Perhaps someone wants to remind the man of god, that Hitler also burned books, is he allying with that nutter from history. Flags, what are they anyway, bits of cloth with colours on them, you think a flag is representative of people, don't make me laugh, people are representative of people, flags are only battle colours, ideally so one side in a battle does not attack it's own side which has various levels of success, but anyway.
