What a shame. The Muslim protester from the Punjab province had been burning American flags while protesting America's freedom of speech and religion and the fumes from the burning flag ended up killing him.

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.

Old Glory strikes back.

In an apparent case of red, white and blue revenge, a Pakistani protester died yesterday after inhaling smoke from a burning American flag during an anti-US rally.

Abdullah Ismail succumbed at Mayo Hospital in Lahore a day after attending the fierce protest at the city’s Mall Road, where an estimated 10,000 people rallied.

Witnesses said Ismail had complained of feeling ill after breathing fumes from burning flags, Pakistan’s Express Tribune reported.

Another Pakistani protester was killed during clashes with police yesterday after demonstrators set a press club ablaze, apparently angry that their protest of an anti-Islam film wasn’t getting enough media coverage.

Hundreds set fire to the club in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province’s Upper Dir area, authorities said. Police said cops charged the crowd, beating them with batons.

The mob then set a government office ablaze.

The protester died and several were wounded when police and the demonstrators exchanged gunfire, police said.

Also yesterday, a man died after being shot in the head Sunday during a march in which hundreds of people broke through a barricade to get to the US Consulate in the southern city of Karachi.

There were more clashes in Karachi yesterday as demonstrators from the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami party tried to reach the consulate.

Police lobbed tear gas, fired rounds in the air and made 40 arrests. No injuries were reported.

Pakistanis have also held many peaceful protests against the film, which critically portrays the prophet Mohammed. One held in the southwest town of Chaman yesterday was attended by about 3,000 students and teachers.

The chief justice of Pakistan’s supreme court ordered the state telecommunications authority to block the film on YouTube because it is considered blasphemous.

Do those clamoring for this video to be taken down have any idea what they are asking? If we take it down, then why shouldn't something that offends or insults anyone else be taken down upon request as well? Why not start outlawing anything that makes someone else feel uncomfortable? Because none of that could possibly subjective, I mean we all agree on everything right?
 
I guess that's what you call irony. It would be nice if someone could explain to the protesters (or at least the violent ones) that while they find a depiction by a single private citizen of Mohammad to be offensive, that as Americans we really find the attack of our embassies and murder of our citizens to be offensive. And that if even a small percentage of the U.S. population that is offended were to resort to the same violent tactics as these violent protesters, that their country would just be one giant sheet of glass.

I hold no ill will towards Islam. I'm not Christian or Jewish. I have the same overall feelings towards Muslims as I do towards Christians. But they need to notice that the last guy who ruled the US toppled 2 governments. The current has assisted in toppling one and supported the toppling of another. And the guy who might be the next guy is at best unstable and has shown a pretty big lack of understanding how to properly respond in foreign affairs issues. So their chances of survival if they keep this shit up isn't looking too good.
 
Can we just start manufacturing them with lethal chemicals laced right in, ready to be activated by the heat of a fire?

One of my new favorite pics, next to the .gif of the terrorist loading a mortar backwards.

This is one of the coolest stories I have heard in a while. I have no doubt that obama will pass a no "blasphemy" law just like he did with indefinite detention.
 
Beware unintended consequences.

Oh and I love this:

freedom of speech includes the right to protest.

Sure but it doesnt include the right to tell a nation what laws they must enact to support fundementalism.

they are free to behead infadels in their country and they are free to set themsevles on fire when they try and tell me what im allowed to do.

Nice sources! So we don't actually know if he died from the smoke inhalation, but man the story sure makes for a great Patriotic circle jerk!
