AS we all know, it is legally considered "Free Speech" under the First Amendment to burn or desecrate an American Flag in public as an act of protest or contempt - but if we try that with a Hammas or ISIS flag, will we face arrest and prosecution for a "Hate crime"?

Apparently a few people who are getting fed up with the wholesale slaughter and head - chopping by fanatic ISIS barbarians are willing to risk it.

Burning THAT flag, and the resultant controversy should be very interesting. I think it a good idea to find out who the real patriots, the ones that have applied the brainwork to understand, and know the danger to this country the Muslims, and their Liberal henchmen are.

Take a stand Libs, RINO’s, and CAIR, etc. Show us ALL who you are before November.

The liberals gave Terry Jones no end of grief when he dared to burn the Quran, and the liberal idiots in his town repeatedly refused to deny him permits to burn them in public (none of which had anything to do with logistical issues). I would encourage people who want to burn Muslim paraphernalia do so on their own private property if they want to reduce the likelihood of dealing with liberals.

Heck, that one Egyptian woman took a dump on it while the other one menstruated all over it.

Burning it is nothing compared to that.

Desecrating the Koran is even more of a statement. To the degree that the burning of a flag, as a symbol of some entity, be it a nation or a movement, is a form of “free speech”, then using the Koran as a means of wiping away a smear, as a symbol of the Islamic Caliphate, should also fall under the concept of “free speech”.

The symbolism of using the black flag as a disposable fabric to wipe one’s bum and cast it into the outhouse pit, while it is a more extreme form of “free speech”, is one that is intentionally expressed to inflame those who think that there is some sacred meaning to the symbol.

The jihadists are mad at us anyway, and they think it a clever thing to taunt others, so if the tactic should be used against them in return, well, no harm, no foul. We would stop if they would.

And that ain’t never gonna happen, GI.

Someone with the suitable Photoshop skills (ahem!) should create an easy to print isis flag with a convenient “Light match here” embossed on it ;’)
