What rubbish - it's a flag, not a human being. Get over it. Remind me to set fire to one and you can try and deport me for it. Even the USA specifically protects flag burning as a fairly obvious example of freedom of expression, which is one of the things the flag actually stands for.

I'd be a bit more afraid of the fanatics who follow him, and whom he may well incite to commit rather unpleasant acts, be it on a person or a country.
As for the flag, I can think of a few laws that he might be considered to be breaking. I doubt we'll se them being enforced though. But as you say, it's just a piece of cloth. So here's an idea... why don't you go and stand in front of the worshippers and burn a few pictures of Allah, then we'll see what all the fuss is about?
