A radical Islamic activist and lawyer in the U.K. has called on Muslims worldwide to burn U.S. flags outside American embassies on Sept. 11, a "direct retaliation" against a Florida church's plan to burn Qurans on the same day.

Call Emerges for "Burn the Stars and Stripes Day" - World Watch - CBS News

Feel free to burn my country's flag. I think it is highly offensive but I believe you have the right to express your opinion. Just don't call for Jihad and start beheading or blowing up people. Maybe they are finally starting to get the picture. I hope.

Same could be said for America right now. Glass houses. Don't think our country doesn't have much to learn. It sure as hell does.

Then we should burn their flag! And their cult of murder book! When is our government heads of state going to grow some b***ls and say that's it, no more demanding tolerance and special rights for muslims ( like stinking foot washes in restrooms! or take off work 5 times a day to pray nonsense- and get full days' pay and not penalized for the time off the job; I'm not even sorry to tell the boss, I'm NOT doing his job 1 day a week while he gets to go "pray" and doing mine too!!!) The time has come to STOP appeasing these people !!! They are the most INTOLERANT people on earth. Funny how they can't take it but think it's ok to dish it out.

Actually, they already hurt several of their own people with their " peaceful" protests. So far no news updates indicating they have murdered ...slaughtered any infidels, in response to a book burning that won't occur.


I'm sure there be a least of few slaughtered americans/infidels some time over the next few days. Islam knows no other way.

The concept of Islam and Peaceful Protest is an oxymoron.

So, it's okay for them to burn the flags(America's symbol), in their freedom of expression, it's okay to threaten Americans, in their freedom of expression. However it is not okay for Americans to do the same by burning their symbol...Yeah, okay...Now I get it..

Since when did they ever need a reason to burn US flags? They do it anyway.

Indeed. They think one unknown pastor of a small, insignificant church somehow represents the entire US. It just shows how small their world really is and how groupthink is so much a part of their culture.
