From the story:
Marines also were warned that Iraqi civilians perceived them as being "very rude" at highway checkpoints and did not like it when they burned, stomped on or tore the Iraqi flag, since it includes Allah's name.
Interesting, isn't it, that burning the US flag is so common in Arab countries...
But I suppose our flag is just an infidel symbol, right?
