^ Your such an idiot. Read.  She said was directing it towards the Muslims that did the flag burnings! \n\nAnd she said MUSLIMS because duh!! Muslims are in more than one counrty.  \n\nAnd yeah, I was suprised when I saw some radical muslims bruning another flag other than the American flag.

Why do individual US states have their own flags when they are not known as countries?\n\nI honestly dont have an educated answer on this, but part of me thinks its because in the past they were seperate countries, but thats probably me talking crap (i dont know much history). \n\nMostly, why do you have to be a country to have a flag? Flags are used for all sorts of things. They are seperate parts of a 'United' country and the flags (with the exception of wales) put together do sort of make the United Jack.

Meaning of the flag\nIt's very difficult to explain the real meaning of a flag; there are legends, actual stories, and outright misinformation about the reason of certain colors or designs were put on national flags. Also individuals may have their own interpretation of their own national flag. Religious symbolism can also be expressed via color, such as the crescent moon which is a traditional Islamic symbol. \n\nHistorical facts:\n"Red has been prominent in Turkish flags for 700 years. The star and crescent are Muslim symbols, but also have a long pre-Islamic past in Asia Minor. The basic form of the national flag was apparently established in 1793 under Ottoman Sultan Selim III, when the green flags used by the navy were changed to red and a white crescent and multi-pointed star were added. The five-pointed star dates from approximately 1844. Except for the issuance of design specifications, no change was made when the Ottoman Empire became the Republic of Turkey and the Caliphate (religious authority) was terminated by Ataturk. Many traditions explain the star and crescent symbol. It is known that Diana (Artemis) was the patron goddess of Byzantium and that her symbol was a moon. In 330, the Emperor Constantine rededicated the city - which he called Constantinople (today's Istanbul) - to the Virgin Mary, whose star symbol was superimposed over the crescent. In 1453 Constantinople (Istanbul) was captured by the Ottoman Turks and renamed Istanbul, but its new rulers may have adopted the existing emblem for their own use"\n\nLegends:\n"A reflection of the moon occulting a star, appearing in pools of blood after the battle of Kosovo in 1448, the battle during which the Ottomans defeated the Christian forces and established the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe until the end of the 19th century, led to the adoption of the Turkish flag by Sultan Murad II according to one legend. Others refer to a dream of the first Ottoman Sultan in which a crescent and star appeared from his chest and expanded, presaging the dynasty's seizure of Constantinople (Istanbul). There are other legends explaining the flag."

I do so agree.I lived in Muslim countries for many years and adhered to their code of conduct.I feel the old adage 'when in Rome do as the Romans do' is as true today as it ever was.\nWe are a Christian country and welcome people from  all over the globe to live here and benefit from living here so please do not shove your beliefs in our faces as a way of saying thank you!\nWe respect your beliefs so why cannot you respect ours and leave your veils at home

It's meant to insult what the flag stands for. It is an act of defiance. It too is symbolic but it changes no policy.

I think that we should fly the St George Cross everywhere, all of the time. Football has just commercialised the St George Cross, especially the different designs they put on it. I have seen it with "ENGLAND" emblazoned on it. I have seen it with the Three Lions Plonked in the middle of it and many other symbols. The St George Cross is our Country's National Flag and NOT a commercial emblem. Fly the Flag and be Proud to be English. If you defaced any other country's national flag there would be uproar!

I don't know which flag you are asking about, but if any flag has to fly, that should be a USA flag. It was in USA when, 2 centuries ago, workers went on national strike because they were made to work over 12 hours a day. They demanded to work at least 8 hours a day. Many people had to die during that strike, fired at by policemen, before their demand was granted. So, that strike was supported by many people from all over the world, which is the reason why today May 01 is Workers Holiday all over the world.

No it is a representation of the American South, And being from the south I have had Confederate Flags. It is some people’s interpretation and pregidist of that that has made it a bad symbol. And I have seen people with confederate Flags speak out against racism including myself. As one person has suggested other wise.. So many people will teach you (and rightly so not to judge one by someone’s color, Dress, Religion, ect.) And then turn around and judge by the color of a Flag without seeing one’s own beliefs. It is when we a people As a human Race can forgo these misunderstandings for one’s background and treat all by their actions and not by any other means. Most people have a history roots to their past and want that respected as well it should be. But to truly be against Racism all people should respect another roots it is only then the Human Race can win. I ask every one of you   If you plant a garden of beautiful flowers would they all look alike or be the same?  Then neither would Gods garden. Be thankful we are all different how boring this world would be otherwise

Yes.. I have read the Koran, I have chatted with some of the OK muslims, and yes I understand that there are a few good ones.  But the bad ones outweigh the good ones.  Their Koran does include the verses about killing, raping, and was written by a pedofile.  No one can deny this.  What is the big deal of trying to convince us that there are not a lot of bad ones out there.  Hitler did a lot of bad things and there were a lot of bad Germans at that time, but not all were with Hitler.  So what is the point??  You are trying to whitewash Islam and it can't be done.  Leave the good ones alone and let them be good.  They really should seperate themselves from the rest of Islam.  The peaceful Muslims should invent another name and go ahead with that and let the bad ones go their way.  If the peaceful Muslims continue to associate themselves with the bad ones then they will all be colored with the same brush.  The things that they do, cutting off hands, feet, taking out eyes for Islamic legal punishment.  There is no denying this.  Muslims dis-assocaite yourselves with these folks!  Become western muslims or something like that.\nLast year they discovered TWO Islamic terrorists cells in Lodi CA in the mosques there, how many times have you read that about the Baptists??  Give me a break, dis-associate.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST IRAN GETTING NUKES?? They are silent.  \nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST. OSAMA BIN LADEN??  They are silent.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS GO BACK AND FIGHT TO HAVE PEACE IN THEIR LAND?  They are not there.\nI am not talking about the ones in Iraq that are trying to do the right thing, I am talking about the ones safe and secure in the US complaining.

Yes, but slowly I think. Terrorism has no nationality or religion or race. However, the media has the power to misrepresent events, and when all we hear about are Muslim terrorists, it breeds the myth that Muslim = terrorist. However, some people view the actions of the israeli Gov, or even the British and American Gov. as terrorists actions. So, I dont think that intelligent, well informed members of the public believe that Muslims are terrorists, just that we are living in religious conflicts.

Why just Muslims? In the company I work for I've seen about 3 people wearing poppies, and out of the 200 people working here only about 10 are muslims...\nMethinks you are just using poppies as another reason to have a dig at Muslims.

Sorry to relate this to you but your flag will not always be there, \nits already happened in the UK. \nsome local governments are refusing to fly the union jack, local councils have also started to ban Christmas lights and decorations. \nin some of the towns and villages across the UK. \nLocal governments are now Listening to the immigrant wishes rather than to the indigenous people. \nOnce it starts there will be no stopping it.  \nyou WILL one day lose the fight for your flag, \nand then, what's next.

The constitution says "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" it does not say that the government will provide this happiness, just that it guarantees your right to pursue it. so many people these days seem to have forgotten this fact and act as if the government owes them something. As for the red, white and blue on our flag, I can only speculate to that, but I would assume that since Betsy Ross designed and sewed the first flag that it was made from colors she chose. The Bible is were you learn that we are all precious in Gods eyes.
