I don't care about your feelings.  She disrespected Americans, whether you "feel" that she did or not.
It would be equally annoying for a Christian to be asked to sing the national anthem and to sing "Amazing Grace" instead.
Some people try justify a rude and inappropriate action by pointing out that it was noble or even self-sacrificing. But really, it's just rude and inappropriate, and the superior "cause" is irrelevant.
