		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Flag Burning...&lt;/strong&gt;

William at Pirate&#8217;s Cove writes about a NY Times Editorial about a proposed ammendment that would ban burning the American Flag.

		<description>Very good post.  When I heard the uproar opposing the amendment, my mind went back to last year when a group of American radicalized Muslims produced a video that showed its members on a New York City street corner declaring Islam&#039;s dominance over America as they tread on a U.S. flag and then ripped it apart. ( http://www.intelligencesummit.org/news/GW1.php )

Whether a group or individuals desecrate a U.S. flag in street demonstrations by ripping, stomping, or burning should it be allowed as a freedom of speech?  Are we being destroyed from within or is it all in good sport of our freedoms?  

In the video, released by the New York-based Islamic Thinkers Society, ( http://www.islamicthinkers.com/ ) one of the Muslims is shown placing a sign on the flag that says, &quot;Oh Muslims! Do you know your enemy? Isn&#039;t it obvious?&quot; 

The group, tied to the British jihadist organization Al-Muhajiroun, said the demonstration was &quot;in response to the desecration of the holy Quran by the Crusaders &amp; Zionists at Guantanamo Bay,&quot; an allegation based on a retracted Newsweek story.  ( http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44300 )

For sure, the enemies of the United States would not allow the freedoms that our country enjoys.  For more on the desecration story out of New York City last year, please visit: http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44664


Respectfully,
