A social media viral campaign has sprung up in the Arab world that involves burning the Isis flag.
The trend started after three Lebanese youths posted pictures of them burning the flag associated with the militant group, also known as Islamic State, in the middle of Sassine Square in Beirut.
Soon afterwards, a Lebanese YouTube user uploaded a video of himself burning a flag. Similar to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in which people choose others to their do own videos, the user nominated "the whole world " to take part in the #BurnISISFlagChallenge.

How much in the way of guts does it take to burn a flag? It takes real guts to take up arms and burn members of ISIS.
I’d burn one in a heartbeat...However, I sure as hell won’t buy one to burn it. Perhaps a picture will do?
This carries the death penalty in several Arab countries. It is akin to burning the Quran. These kids are incredibly dumb. Making a Youtube statement is not worth execution.
There is no god but God
Atomic DUH...........
wait!!!...
Burning the I.S. flag is burning the Shahada. A major no-no to devout Muslims. I'm guessing many of the Lebanese Arabs burning it are not Muslim themselves.
Burning the Shahada earns you crucifixion at least, if I.S. wins in that area and the videos are used to find takfir apostates.

I am looking for a t shirt with a large red Crusader Cross on it. It will last longer than a flag on fire.
Be looking for President Obola to issue a fatwa condemning such acts of ISISophobia.
I believe this is part of the “lets make islam peaceful’, and will be embraced to some extent in Europe, but only after a major bloodshed
The world is heading to a one world religion, Islam demands no equal, it will have to be forced to be equal...unless it appears to be the head of it all...An Al Qaeda form, led by the muslim brotherhood, as the direction Turkey and Saudia Arabia and Europe is going
that is why Syria and Egypt attack the anti-christ, they want to be muslim but not Al Qaeda/muslim brotherhood
No one is going to murder you for doing the ALS Ice Bucket challenge. These kids are brave and are taking a courageous stand. True, as a prior poster said, they aren't actually fighting, but that doesn't mean that this doesn't take some courage. There are kids all over the world who face danger and willingly accept risks that American kids never have to face. They have my admiration and respect.
They’re burning them in Lebanon. You know, run by Hezbollah?
That takes guts.
Western countries consulates around the world should be bracing for a muslim uprising of epic proportions...
Remember how a video insulting Mohamed got their panties in a wad, and got a bunch of those pesky Americans dealt with in Benghazi, Libya...
Or so they say...
The “Draw Mohammed” contest is next
(or so we have been told).
or was it “slander” the prophet of Islam?
Is burning considered slanderous?
I have ISIS flag toilet paper
This woman has guts too.

Would or could it be considered bad ju-ju to have a Shahada burning party???
Some enterprising individual could make up a bunch of cheap replicas and sell them at a “gun show” and make a little coin...
What people do with those flags (burn or defile) is what we should consider to be “free speech” right???
Or, as I predict, are people going to get squeamish, and equate this activity with the burning of a Koran???
Considering all the art that depicts vile acts against Christ and other Christian edifices...
I dunno, maybe I’m not being very Christian-like with this inflammatory rhetoric...
I am betting this disappears - along with the kids.
