Islamists and leftists celebrate Independence Day in NYC by burning the American flag

However, there is one flag in America that is sacred, and destroying it is a blasphemous act that will result in harsh penalties.

Even as young people across America are being prosecuted for daring to desecrate the “Pride” crosswalks proliferating in leftist cities, the Hamas/leftist crowd continues to revel in its constitutional right to free speech, which includes burning the American flag on Independence Day. During a New York protest, there were plenty of “Palestinian” flags, which stand for genocide and subjugation, but the only American flags were used as fire starters.

The protest in New York’s Washington Square Park wasn’t large, but it was fervent. It also perfectly exemplified the coming together of Islamism and leftism in a toxic brew that, if allowed to grow unchecked, will destroy everything in its path:

A braying mob of around 100 anti-Israel protesters spent Independence Day burning American flags and chanting “Burn it down!” in Washington Square Park, part of a coordinated “Flood Manhattan for July 4th” demonstration.

At least one person was arrested, cops said, but they did not disclose the charges the alleged perpetrator was facing.

Keffiyeh-wearing photographers brought their lenses in close to capture the flag desecration as chants of “Free free free Palestine” and “Burn it down” echoed throughout the park.

The above report, while accurate, is too dry. It doesn’t capture the passion driving these anti-American, antisemitic protestors:

Oli London @OliLondonTV This is not a video from the 1938 Kristallnacht in Germany.

This is a video from July 4th Independence Day in New York as a terrifying mob march through the streets waving flames in a show of force against Jews.

Didn’t someone go to jail for burning the BLM flag? I seem to recall that.

Strap them on pallets and fly them to the Islamic Hellhole of their choice and eject the pallets out the back door at 2500 feet.

So Islamists can show utter disrespect to the US by burning the American flag but if you show any of what they consider disrespect to Muhammad they will kill you.

Yep. Or leave skid-marks on a flag painted on the ground.

Land of the free.

Except for normals. Not free for them. Just the lunatics and perverts.

If they were True Believers, they would wrap themselves up in the Flag before setting it on fire.

Islamists, and now all leftists, are anti-American. There’s a solution to this problem other than helicopter rides. Simply revoke all citizenship rights and deport them to Syria or some other fun place like that where they will fit in and live happily ever after. The End.

No need to thank me but do tip your waiters and waitresses well.

Imagine the glee if someone anonymously announced that for every American flag burned, a koran would also be burned.

Or maybe we could just subject the American flag burners to a little of what they do to our flag.
