Nobody needs to bring specifics into it. We could just say that we don't support the intentional desecration of the symbols of anyone's faith. That's it.

I'd also like to see the issue reframed as decent, respectful behavior vs. childish insults and cries for attention, rather than as America vs. Islam.
You make an extremely valid point. But, of course, flag burners are just expressing their First Amendmant right according to the media. Laughable, isn't it?!
