From CBS: Quran Burning Legal? Protest Possibly Protected - CBS Evening News - CBS News
I think flag burning is a little bit different in that it is mostly done to protest the government though if someone is burning it at a Vets conference you bet it falls under "obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or 'fighting words' those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace" and not protected speech.

If they are burning the Qur'an at thier private property then I think they're fine.
