Burning an American flag proved fatal for a Pakistani protester, who reportedly died from inhaling fumes from the ignited icon of independence.

Some 10,000 people rallied this week in Lahore, the capital of the Punjab province, to protest the movie trailer that Muslims say insults Islam, according to the International Herald-Tribune. One participant, identified as Abdullah Ismail, died after being taken to an area hospital. Witnesses said he had complained of feeling sick  from the smoke from American flags burnt at the rally.

The rally was organized on the city's landmark mall by the Tehreek Hurmat-i-Rasool. Despite a ban on rallies on The Mall, local officials blocked off the road leading to it from noon to 6 p.m., apparently to facilitate the event.

The film trailer that has spurred angry protests throughout the Middle East, "Innocence of Muslims," was produced by a California man. The trailer ridicules Islam and depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a pedophile.

But protesters asserted it was created with the backing of the U.S. government.

“The U.S. must make a law against blasphemy – or we will not let the US consulates in Pakistan function,” a rally organizer told the paper.

Maybe Allah was trying to tell this douchenozzle something?

Poor bastard. Looks like his martyrdom went up in smoke.

[MechAg94]

Our evil plan of making flags for our Embassy's and Consulates that produce poisonous gases when burned has claimed another victim.  Hope they don't realize it.

Poetic justice in deed and print.

"And for just a little more, we'll throw in some fatwawood to help with ignition!"

The U.S. must make a law against blasphemy

I was going to say, "Good luck with that," but then I remembered who's in the White House.

“The U.S. must make a law against blasphemy –

I wonder if they have any rational cognizance of the fact that IF it were possible to enact a law against blasphemy in the U.S., the deity said law would be protecting would likely not be "Allah," and most of what they say about Christians, Jews, and other non-Muslims would most likely be outlawed by such a law.

Hey, maybe this is a GOOD idea ...

On the Dennis Miller Show yesterday, a woman called in and suggested that American flags be made of hemp.  As soon as angry protesters burn the flag, they would mellow out.

Start a rumor that the red stripes are made from pig's blood, and any believer who inhales it becomes anathema to Allah . . .

Or have the CIA start providing flags dusted with cadmium, arsenic, or some other toxin not recommended for inhalation when burned . . . 

[geronimotwo]

better yet, convince them that burning our flag is against the will of allah.

Ha-ha mother *expletive deleted*er!

Edited to remove bad taste.

WTF, Dick?

That's kinda disturbing. And on the US's tally to boot.
