Pakistani Protester Burns American Flag and Dies From Smoke
A Pakistani man, one of approximately 10,000 people participating in an anti-American rally has died. The cause of death? Complications from inhaling smoke after burning an American flag. The Express Tribune, a Pakistani newspaper affiliated with The International Herald Tribune (“The Global Edition of The New York Times”) reported:
One of the participants of the rally, Abdullah Ismail, passed away after he was taken to Mayo Hospital. Witnesses said he had complained of feeling unwell from the smoke from US flags burnt at the rally.
The rally is part of protests, organized by Jamaat-Ud-Dawa, the political arm of the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba. Protesters are allegedly insulted by America’s unwillingness to punish the makers of the film “Innocence of Muslims.” The protesters, demanding respect for and tolerance of Islam, threatened to destroy the U.S. consulate in Pakistan if the United States does not publicly hang the movie’s producer, director, and “all those involved in the production and release of the movie” (which would presumably include Google and YouTube employees). The protesters also will not be satisfied until the United States makes a “law against blasphemy.”

Alternative cause of death: Too stupid to breathe.

There we go, all we have to do is treat all our flags with some sort of deadly chemical agent then send them overseas to all those anti American protests. we could send them to Hooka lounges and such.

He was taken to the Mayo Hospital, King Edward Medical University. Founded in 1870, by, well, who else but Allah.

@Moe Tom–maybe they took him to the hospital the same way the Ambassador was taken.
@Solomon–I was thinking the same thing–let’s treat our flags before we send them over.

Can’t breathe from laughing my ass off so hard!!! Hope they never get around to having “safe flag burning classes” prior to the demonstrations; our flags seem to do a good job taking them out.

It surprises me they even have hospitals. Seeing as how they are dumb as dirt.

It actually occurred to me this weekend that the official flags should be impregnated with something that turns deadly when burned, or maybe explosives.

Oh Moe, I caught that too, I was loving the irony until I found this: The hospital is named after the then Viceroy of the South Asia, the “Earl of Mayo”

The “American” Flag was probably “Made in China” and was full of toxic chemicals.

There are materials in some old time couches that turn into hydrogen cyanide when turned.
Maybe the federal government could start a “Couches for Muzzies” voucher program where you turn in old couches to factories that make American flags and get a rebate

Good news!
I’ve always thought that we should make all the flags sold to islamic rat hole nations out of poison ivy.

Fellow IOTW members, as the CEO of al-Mart, this was all part of my plan. Wait till they start burning al-Mart brand Bibles and Torahs and Talmuds! We coated them with the same toxic crap that prevents birthday candles from blowing out.
And the “Holy Water”? It’s fluoridated!

What these barbarians fail to realize is that this country was founded on the notion that there can be no law establishing religion or prohibiting it.
(We do have laws against murder, animal sacrifice, torture, drugs etc. which WILL be prosecuted since the law may NOT recognize any religion’s claim claim of an exception in that these practices are part of their ritual.)

Wonder if the flag was made in China?
If so, good luck suing them.

I saw this bumper sticker on the back of an elderly gentleman’s pickup truck.
“If you must burn our flag please wrap yourself in it first”.
