you can't compare Religous Book(Koran, bible, etc) to a flag. they are totally different, flag represents one nation while the other (religous book) might represent many nations. muslims don't burn Bible. americans can burn iraq's or iran's flag and no body will speak about that.

So then it's OK to burn one nation's flag, but wrong to burn the flags of multiple nations?

There's really no difference between a flag and a holy book. They are both inanimate objects that some significance has been attached to (be it nationalistic or religious).
