Ofcourse Americans are used to this phenomenon but it's very new for me.

Yeah well man, get used to it. Complete lack of education + violent religious upbringing = crazy fun.

The protest you described doesn't really matter - it's just a flag. A piece of fabric. You can find a mob daily burning our flag. It doesn't bother me, if that particular group of nuts doesn't like us... who gives a fuck. I only wish the shit they do would be limited to only burning our flag, rather than actually bringing the violent hatred into countries they deem evil. If only they limited it to burning flags...

When some of their more seasoned wackos start flying planes into your most prominent skyscrapers, killing thousands in one fell swoop, then the issue will really start to suck.
