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.

Darwin award candidate (posthumously). Ignorant, rock throwing, flag burning, Muzzy.

American flags should be made of kevlar - almost indestructible and fireproof. Those already in use should be treated with chemicals that give off toxic fumes when burned, so that we can eliminate a lot more of these bastards!

Typical. I think the Muzzie authorities have been aiding and abetting the protestors in almost all these countries. It happens in Pakistan all the time. And now it's happening everywhere there was an Arab Spring, aided and abetted by Hussein & Hillary.

As for the guy who died, serves him right. Obama refuses to act, so our flag stepped in and did the job instead.

What we should do is soak the flags in liquid explosives. Maybe Nitromethane. That would be fun to watch

"Hopefully it was painful."

LOL! Doubtless it was excruciating. But, what a great way to thin the herd of the extremist lunatics. Ship them crates of American flags to burn, specially fabricated so that the fumes are a potent neurotoxin! Just flip the switch, and turn off the Jihadi.

Genius.

I just don’t buy this story.

It has the scent of ‘urban legend’ about it.
