How about burning crosses, that okay?

Burning a koran?

Evidently America can find it in it's heart to protect a lot of icons, but not our flag.

How very sad.

How about burning crosses, that okay?

I am continually puzzled by the false comparisons raised here. No one has suggested that flag burning is "okay". The only statement made in opposition is that flag desecration should not be criminally penalized.

If you own them and burn them on your property, in a safe way, it's legal.

Burning a Koran?

If they did use the constitution to make it illegal to burn the Koran, would that make you respect it more? If not, why would a flag burning ammendment make those who would burn it respect it more?

At best, it would just change what symbols they desecrate offend you, perhaps by burning effigies of presidents past and present, or writing and singing offensive lyrics to the anthem, or painting offensive slogans on unburnt flags. Make certain you put all that in the constitution too, plus all the creative ideas I haven't thought of.
