Over 150 students chanted “USA! USA! USA!” and the infamous black and white flag of ISIS was lowered into the flames. This was the scene on Thursday at the quad at Missouri University as an anti-ISIS and flag burning rally by Mizzou students took place.
In the Facebook invitation to the event titled “Muck ISIS” they detailed their reasoning for the rally:
US Middle East Policy has led to the rise of radical Islam in the countries in which we have toppled secular dictators. Not only that, but ISIS has risen to power on the back of US Taxpayers.
ISIS is riding around the region in $1Billion of US Humvees. (That you and I paid for).
ISIS is paying their soldiers in $1Billion of US cash left in the region (That you and I paid for)
900 Tons of weapons have been shipped into the area, paid for, again, by the US.
We want to tell Washington, not that we want another perpetual war in the Middle East, but that they need to stop borrowing money from China to fund extremist groups that chant “Death to America”.
