No, I asked if the Muslim symbols on flags represent terrorism and hate based on terrorist acts carried out under those symbol. You seem to believe the confederate flag can ONLY represent racism and hate, and everybody that fly's it is a racist, inbred, redneck. I just want to understand when you are allowed to paint tens of millions of people with broad brushes of based on actions carried out by a few under those symbols. One 21 year old shoots up a church and is pictured on his Facebook page in front of a Confederate Flag, now everybody with a flag suddenly share in his beliefs. I just wonder how you differentiate between symbols when horrific acts carried out under that symbol, and determine it is a reflection of everybody that fly's that symbol.
What exactly did the Confederate Flags symbolize??? Lets ask their designers: The second Confederate Flag (Below)

The flag is also known as "the Stainless Banner" and was designed by William T. Thompson, with assistance from William Ross Postell. The nickname "stainless" referred to the pure white field which took up a large part of the flag's design... W.T. Thompson, the flag's designer, referred to his design as "The White Man's Flag"In referring to the white field that comprised a large part of the flag's design elements, Thompson stated that its color symbolized the "supremacy of the white man"
Wow! The very flag was designed by it's maker to be... "A SYMBOL OF THE SUPREMACY OF THE WHITE MAN. " NOPE! NO RACISM THERE!!!
On that (NON RACIST) Confederate Flag: As a people we are fighting maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause. —William T. Thompson (April 23, 1863), Daily Morning News Anyone see any racism here???? Anyone???

Please tell me you knew who designed the confederate flag more than 1 month ago. Then tell me everybody who chooses to fly the flag knows who the F*** designed it and what he though it represented.
At the Marion County Commission meeting Tuesday morning, “several” members of general public argued that the flag ought to be restored, and the commission voted to do exactly that.
Members of the commission assured the Ocala Star Banner’s Kristine Cane, however, that the flag would be accompanied by an informative display that would outline its historical significance.
They are going to put up a plaque to tell everyone that the Racist Rag, is not as it was designed by it's maker... That it isn't really a racist flag... there. That settles that!

Hey...I'm not a flag worshipper like you. I don't see universal meaning in pieces of cloth. You seem to know every flag and the universal meaning behind of every flag, and gosh darn it, everybody better see the flag meaning the same as you. Because it's "settled history". Lol

Settled History??? As in, it happened in the past???
Um, Cissy, this is an ongoing issue, not some Civil War reenactment.
I wonder what these photos depict??? Probably honoring some civil war general or something! Certainly NOT racism.

Yes...An ongoing issue. These flags are a menace to society.
I wonder what these photos depict??? Probably honoring some illegal war of aggression of something. Maybe General Schwartzkopf or General Patton. Certainly NOT racism.

These Photos depict AMERICANS... Racist Americans, but still Americans waving their flag, as they have a right to do. The US Flag does not represent these people, their politics or their racism, except in a way that the US Flag represents every American, racist or not.
Its interesting for those racist who are waving the stars and stripes and also the Confederate Rag, since they were on opposing sides in the Civil war.
Do you think Cissy, that these racist Americans are trying to use the US Flag for their own purposes??? Do you think they are trying to portray themselves as Patriotic Americans at the same time they wave the flag of the Enemy Of The Stars And Stripes???
Could it be that these racists are trying to legitimize their cause by usurping the symbol of our country for their own evil purposes???
These flags do represent opposite sides of the issue... One flag for freedom the other represents slavery.

YUP! The US Flag on the Saddam statue was a huge embarrassment to the US Military. They wanted the IRAQIS to do the overthrowing of the Saddam Regime, not US troops.

Memphis City Council unanimously votes to remove monument to first KKK grand wizard
Quoted Text
The Memphis City council took steps on Tuesday to begin the process of removing a monument to Confederate War General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the nation’s first Ku Klux Klan “grand wizard.”
In an unanimous vote, the council approved a resolution for the removal of Bedford’s remains from under a statue in his honor that currently sits in Health Sciences Park on Union Avenue.
Lets see... What flag is that behind Forrest??? Looks a lot like the Racist Rag!

“I have heard enough about heritage. I have a heritage. I am a life-long South Carolinian. I am a descendant of Jefferson Davis, okay? But that does not matter. It’s not about Jenny Horne. It’s about the people of South Carolina who have demanded that this symbol of hate come off of the statehouse grounds.”

Said: Gov. Nikki Haley: “I’m grateful for their service and their compassion. It is a new day in South Carolina, a day we can all be proud of, a day that truly brings us all together as we continue to heal, as one people and one state.”
