Charming! I would make a comment about their being "the religion of peace"
but there is always some misguided comment on these forums in reaction to that kind of thing,
about how judgemental we are to say such things.
Silly moi.

Muslim Protesters Burn American Flag Outside U.S. Embassy in London - ABC News
I think they're participating in a protest of some sort to gain attention that you're giving them. But you know, there's been quite a few flag burnings in the US and I bet some were done by Christians.
I Just can't get to worked up on this. They burned the flag. They're protesting against something we've done... ok..... I'll leave it at that.

Muslims burn American flag outside London's U.S. Embassy

During WWII, Muslims and NAZI's were in cahoots. Muslims should thank the U.S. they have somewhere they can go to get western attention thru their despicable acts. Brits should wake up and throw the Muslims out. Let them swim to Spain, their beloved Cordoba Mosque.

They're whole message is "U.S. out of the Muslim lands". Can't really fault them for that. Isn't that what most in America want also? You know, Americans out of the middle east and all that? What did you think they would do to the flag? Wrap their virgins in it?
Here's a segment from your link.......

"I’m a Muslim. What they’re doing is bringing shame on all Muslims. This is not part of the teachings of Islam,” said Abdul Sallam, 41, who was waving a sign that read “Keep The Silence,” according to multiple reports. “Islam is all about peace, but what they want to do is hate other people. Islam teaches you that when you see anything bad or evil, you should speak out against it. If the moderate Muslims all came out and spoke out, that would defeat them.”

Maybe these flag burners should meet up with the Christian Koran Burners that got so much attention about 6 months ago?

You got that right..and let's not forget, burning a few Korans is just burning a little paper.
