Mizzou Students Hold ISIS Flag Burning Rally
Chants of “USA! USA! USA” broke out the University of Missouri campus Thursday as a group of students held an ISIS flag burning ceremony on the quad.
The event was held by the Young Americans for Liberty and featured food, music, and freedom, because America.

The burning of an ISIS flag is well within the group’s First Amendment rights and they even cleared it with MU campus police first, but not every student was thrilled with the act. Some felt the publicity stunt posed a risk to campus safety, especially in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack in France back in January.

Still, if images of their flag being burned by college students hurts them more than the heartless beheadings and killings they execute on a daily basis, then they’re more screwed in the brain than previously thought.
According to US officials, 10,000-plus ISIS fighters were killed in a 9-month campaign. Ten thousand down, many more to go.
Plus, the flag burning gave some lucky couple a proposal to remember.
Lol how pissed would you be if you were the girl getting proposed to on the quad as people were burning the ISIS flag/rallying next to you

I bet liberals will be more offended by this than an American flag burning.
10 years ago at 9:25 pmthere is a lot of truth to this statement. think about that.
10 years ago at 10:22 pmIt concerns me there weren’t more people there celebrating.
10 years ago at 1:53 pmYeah, they didn’t want their heads cut off with a butter knife
10 years ago at 10:03 pmIn their defense, it wasn’t widely broadcasted across campus. I didn’t hear about until a couple of my brothers went
10 years ago at 1:32 amBecause the burning of a flag in a controlled manner puts danger to the student body? Dweebs will find anything to whine about.
10 years ago at 9:26 pmViewing a blatant display of anti-terrosim as the perfect time to propose. TFM
10 years ago at 9:28 pmFuck ISIS
10 years ago at 9:28 pmThis is beautiful
10 years ago at 9:28 pmJess Bowser show us your tits or gtfo
10 years ago at 9:29 pmThe pro-ISIS activist is wearing cargo shorts. Why am I not surprised?
10 years ago at 9:31 pmPro-ISIS? I would partake in the flag burning but the protesters do have a point. If ISIS is planning to do damage at a large American college, ya know cause they’re terrorists… this video gives them a reason to target Mizzou over any other school. Fuck terrorists and we’ll do what we want, but saying they support ISIS is a stretch.

10 years ago at 6:40 amYou can fight all you want but all it takes is one idiot to make it into the country and get his hands on an assault rifle.
10 years ago at 2:28 pm“Assault rifle” is a bullshit made up term coined by the types of people who sympathize with the people who sympathize with isis.
10 years ago at 3:00 pmIt’s a rapid fire gun that uses magazines… Next you’re gonna tell me Bush did 9/11 and Obama is a Muslim.
10 years ago at 3:27 pmNo, I’m just gonna tell you to go do wind-sprints with a plastic bag over your head.
10 years ago at 10:21 amThe term “Assault Rifle” was coined by the Nazis. Good try though.
10 years ago at 10:05 pmJust saw this response. But yeah, I was obviously being facetious, guy. Liberals use the term to describe any scary looking weapon. If we were going by the strict “German” interpretation there’d be hardly any weapons in the US considered assault weapons because most don’t have selective fire.
Maybe next time you could just take a joke or whatever.
10 years ago at 10:20 amOf course the counter protester would be wearing cargo shorts. NF
10 years ago at 9:31 pmI hate terrorists. And Pete Carroll. And Ohio State.
10 years ago at 9:33 pmGood. Fuck those animals. Not muslims or arabic people, just isis. Fuck them.
10 years ago at 9:33 pmAnd Al-Qaeda. And the 38% of Muslims world-wide who believe terrorism is justified. Fuck all of those who will oppose th God-given rights of freedom to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Most of all, fuck those of you that are free, that lack the testicular fortitude to take a stand for what you are morally obligated to believe in.
10 years ago at 10:56 pmI hate Islamaphobia, so fuck Isis
