Student torches ISIS flag on campus amid chants of ‘USA’

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Chants of “USA! USA! USA!” echoed across the University of Missouri quad Thursday afternoon as a crowd of students cheered on a student who burned an ISIS flag in a symbolic gesture in response to continual human rights violations by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

The student leading the “#MUCKISIS” flag burning, Ian Paris, 21, president of the Mizzou chapter of Young Americans for Liberty, told the roughly 150 in attendance that the rally was meant to build unity among the people who came to see a flag symbolizing “hatred and intolerance” burned.

It was meant to demonstrate to the “monsters” within ISIS that Americans are not afraid, the political science major said.

Paris, a self-described libertarian, said his message was to tell ISIS “we’ve had enough. And to tell Washington … to stop using our tax money to fund radical Islamic groups in the Middle East.”

Prior to the flag burning, university security tried to convince him not to torch the ISIS flag, Paris told The College Fix.

“The MU police pulled me aside earlier today, put me in a room for questioning, and tried to convince me not to burn the flag. They did everything they could to stop me from doing this; they even played good cop, bad cop,” he said.

Wish I could have been there to see that.

We should have an ISIS flag burning day across the country.

I know the neighborhood here I’d like to do it in.

Finally, some students who can think for themselves that don’t worship at the altar of Obama. Hope this goes viral and students start burning ISIS flags everywhere...

I'm surprised that they didn't try to give him an American flag to burn instead.

You got the wrong person. I couldn’t give a #$@#$.

Almost mowed down 2 Russians on my block two weeks ago because they were double parked AND standing in the street like this was the eighties on 86th street.

They came over and apologized.

Burning a Koran? That’s nothing.

They probably tried to get him to burn a Confederate flag instead.

Yes, finally some people are waking up. The police who intervened should be terminated and banned for life from working in that community.

Good! I wonder how many news outlets will carry this tomorrow? Or are they afraid of offending pig cult members?
