I’d like to clarify my above post (#8). I’m not a fan of national flag desecration. I’d never do it. But once you admit to its use, then by principle you can’t start refusing it for this nation or that nation. Also, I was speaking with religious tolerance when I advocated – and I am serious – removing ‘Allah’ script from the flags before protesting against theocracy. If you can protest by defacing any national flag, but you can’t carefully cut a religious symbol from a flag, what are we left with? I am quite serious too, that once ‘Allah’ has been – with great care – removed from the flags, as a nod to religious sensibilities, then there is no remaining argument against burning or stomping on their flags, as students at that university would burn and stomp on our own.
