If a man sets himself on fire outside the White House, and screams "Allah! Allah!", and the Secret Service puts him out and sends him to the hospital immediately, has he even made a statement yet?

Christ, people. The standard protocol for setting oneself aflame in the service of--or in vague, general reference to--a statement or deity is to fucking make sure your point is clear before you do it. He's not dead. He's in the hospital with second- and third-degree burns on 30 percent of his body.

Mr. Not-On-Fire, if you were dead, all we could say about your suicide is that you were shouting Allah and dying. What then would you have left for us to think of you and what you stand for? Eh?
