A Muslim activist and lawyer in the U.K. is calling on Muslims worldwide to burn U.S. flags outside American embassies on Sept. 11. The activist, according to CBS news, is considered a radical, and says his “international burn the Stars and Stripes Day” is in “direct retaliation” against pastor Terry Jones and his Florida church’s plan to burn the Koran on the same day.
The man calling for the mass burning is Anjem Choudary, former leader of the banned hardline Islamic group Islam4UK. According to CBS, Choudary regularly organizes demonstrations in Britain calling for the implementation of Islamic law.
The report also says that the State Department has issued a warning to all embassies to prepare for possible backlash should the Koran burning take place as planned on Saturday.
General David Petraeus, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and others have spoken out against the planned Koran burning. Petraeus has said that it will endanger U.S. troops abroad, while Glenn Beck has said that “burning the Koran is like burning the flag or the Bible.”

yawn, They’ve burned how many thousands of them by now?
Is there a day that a muzzie, somewhere, does NOT burn the American flag?
How is that going to be any different from any other day?
Oh, so burning symbolic things is OK then? Why the fuss over burning the Koran, then?
Every day is burn a flag day for the muzzies. We are so used to it that all we do is shrug and mutter, “typical”.
Wow. As always I am truly impressed with Muslim tolerance!(sarc.)
Well, one guy is planning to burn the qurans. I suppose if the muslims want an international “Burn the quran Day” he can be accomodated.
Seems to me like the best solution is: they don't build the victory mosque, we don't burn the quran.
Just like evey other day ...
Which is different from any other day in any other islamic country how?
The GZ Mosque Imam also said that moving the mosque endangers Americans everywhere.
Yep, blame a nation of 320,000,000 people for the actions of 30 people. It shows how stupid these people are.
Let's have a play Stars and Stripes day instead.
I paraphrase Patten, we’re gonna get into it with these idiots sooner or later...(you know the rest).
Burning American flags? I thought that was how those throwbacks heated their mud huts.
muzzies burn our flag every day. what’s new?
I’d rather see, they don’t build their mosque because we declare Islam to be an enemy of the state, and we trash the Koran too for what it is..
Don’t give an inch..these folks will rape you
Like this is anything new? Silly Muslim activist. Sorry, that’s redundant.
