They called him Ismail (Pakistani protester dies after inhaling smoke from burning USA flag)

How bizarre is this?

One Abdullah Ismail, among those protesting America by torching a library in Lahore, Pakistan, died this week — apparently one day after inhaling smoke from a burning American flag.

Um, we didn’t know flags could do that.

Sounds like an infidel plot to us.

Or a shining opportunity for the international tort bar. After all, how likely is it that Old Glory came with a warning label?

WARNING: The CIA Director Has Determined That Smoking Flags Are Dangerous To Your Health.

In Urdu.

It might have made a difference, you know.

Also, why wasn’t the flag flame retardant?

Oh, wait. That would be a product defect in the Greater Middle East these days.

Cue the ambulance chasers.

True, the last time you heard of an American dying from flaming-flag fumes was . . . never, right? But you simply never know.

Most of those Occupy types look like they’d smoke anything — even flags.

Especially flags.

We need to make flags out of asbestos. They would get a hernia trying to light it.

Wouldn't that be 'second hand' smoking-related death?

The flag was most likely made in China.

“The flag was most likely made in China.”
And most likely polyester or a similar plastic fabric.
That is bad stuff to breath there brother Habib!
That why they should make the fabric interiors in aircraft from Cotton, but noo they use plastic too.
If the impact does not kill you, the toxic fumes from the burning plastic fabric will.

if you watch the videos, a lot of these flags are home made. No telling what cloth or paints were used. Probably an old robe with years of pent up stench.

Pretty cool. Now, can you make the prophet himself laugh like that because you know he has to think that the morons who followed him are idiots.

This is just one more example of an indisputable truth: God hates muslims.

This is like the Presidential Seal that has tried to run away from Obama twice now - once rolled off the speaker’s podium, and once rolled off the side of his car. They kept finding it and returning it to a place where it is not happy.:o(

The American Flag . . now THAT is one WEIRD occurrence. Wonder how the Muslims felt after that?
