Why is the flag upside down? Maybe it was just on its way up when Lisa Poole’s shutter snapped, but it’s a telling photo. From the U.S. Code:
The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
And here is a capsule explanation of why the Boston mosque is a signal of dire distress.

“A fatwa free-for-all in the Islamic world”
By Michael Slackman
Published: June 11, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “CAIRO: First came the breast-feeding fatwa: It declared that the Islamic restriction on unmarried men and women being together could be lifted at work if the woman breast-fed her male colleagues five times. Then came the urine fatwa: It said that drinking the urine of the Prophet Muhammad was deemed a blessing.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”We were very angered when we heard about the Danish cartoons concerning our Prophet,” wrote Galal Amin in the newspaper Al Masry Al Yom, referring to the 2005 publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that caused an international uproar. “However, these two fatwas are harming our Islamic religion and our Prophet more than the cartoons.””
