Kudos the poet Ms. Ada Jafri as well as the OP for their kind words.

It was Bangladesh that reportedly banned its people from waving flags of other countries during the Asia Cup cricket tournament this year but even that ban was lifted almost immediately. Similar restrictions don’t exist in America. In fact, not only do so some people (normally expats, international students etc.) and consulates and embassies display foreign flags but foreign owned businesses do as well. For example, the Roosevelt Hotel is a historic, almost a century old hotel in New York and along with an American flag it also has a Pakistani flag hoisted above the main entrance of the hotel because it is currently owned by PIA. Likewise, Ikea, which is one of Americans’ favorite furniture retailers, is a Swedish company that proudly displays Sweden’s flag on a flagpole in front of its every store in America.

That’s more like it. :k:

i was not talking about the businesses or tourist places flying other countries’ flags…i was talking about visitors flying their own country’s flag on their vehicles. also, the homes flying their native countries’ flags.

during the Gulf war, there were many incidences reported when neighbors called police or had a big verbal fights before the police arrived.

i found them less tolerant to other countries when it came to their patriotism.
