Members can burn flags

[north_malaysian]

ALOR STAR: UMNO (United Malay National Organization) Youth has been given the green light to its members to burn Israeli flags to reflect public anger over the senseless killing of civillians in Lebanon and Palestine.

Its chief, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, said the movement would also not stop members from burning US and British flags.

"UMNO Youth will create a tsunami wave of protest to force the mighty powers to bow to demand for peace."
"Burn as many flags as you (Youth members) want," he said when opening the Alor Star UMNO Youth delegates' conference last Saturday night.

Hishammuddin said UMNO Youth members had no option but to burn flags to reflect their anger, as other forms of protest fell on deaf ears.

"It's not our culture to burn flags and effigies. But we understand now why some people are willing to die fighting after their lands are seized and families killed," he added.

P/S: Why when oppositions did these, UMNO sent riot police. But now they're given 'green light' to do this? :rollseyes

Forgive my ignorance, but who/what is UMNO? Is the United Malay National Organisation some sort of right-wing group, similar to the BNP in Britain?

Burning flags and drawing over Bush's face isn't going to change anything......just an increase of hatred by atleast 40%

UMNO is the ruling party in Malaysia. They're nationalists.

Thats not what I read...

I wonder how a Zionist made his millions if his buissness of selling israeli flags to arabs was false?

I guess the Zionist Millionaire who completly took advantage of Radicals stupidity was a liar... right... he must have made millions doing something else, even though there is proof that idiots in the Arab world bought his flags and made the zionist cause richer because they did not research the mans company.

Idiots.
