By that token the Bible or Koran are 'just books' and nothing to get worked up over either.

No-one is arguing that only the flag represents the UK, nor that it's the only worthwhile representation.
We are arguing that it is a sufficiently worthwhile representation of the UK to warrant more respect than it gets.
And this is not only true of the Union flag - just ask any people who are proud of their heritage, and they'll tell you.
