So if a black person trained their dog to salute every time he said "Kill the white people, everyone here would be okay with it because it's just a dog doing a trick?
Yes, and I would even make the effort to protect his/her right to do it.
If Count Dorkula didn't say "Gas the Jews" it would just be tasteless. Instead it is hateful and tasteless.
His only real problem was not being a Muslim when he said those words, otherwise authorities would've looked the other way and ignored it just like they've done for other Muslim crimes over the years.
While the Italians and Germans wanted to point to grand historical precedents for their flag salutes, it is actually of American origin, created by none other than Francis J. Bellamy, the author of the Pledge of Allegiance.
As difficult as it may be to believe today, from the 1890s until the adoption of the U.S. Flag Code in 1942, Americans saluted their flag using the "Bellamy salute," i.e., extending the right hand outward to forehead height, with the palm of the hand downward. This gesture was adopted by the fascist regime in Italy and the national socialist regime in Germany prior to WWII.
Passed in the early stages of WWII, the Flag Code of 1942 specified that American civilians should salute the flag by placing the hand over the heart, rather than using the Bellamy salute. This was primarily to distinguish ourselves from the Nazis, who had co-opted the Bellamy salute for their own purposes.
And that's why we salute the flag by placing our hands over our hearts while in civilian dress. In 1942, nobody on this side of the Atlantic wanted to look like a Nazi. (Even though we had been saluting the flag with the Bellamy salute for 40 years before the Nazis and the Italian Fascists adopted it.)

Right because Britain really does that as oppose to perception of it happening... I can't find any example of this other three anti-Muslims doing things.
