Burn baby burn

If anti-Sweden protesters burn a flag but it's the wrong color, did they actually burn a Swedish flag?

Here's some demonstrators in Lahore, Pakistan burning the "Swedish flag" in protest against the recent publication of a "blasphemous caricature of Prophet Muhammad" in a Swedish newspaper.

From the Organization of the Islamic Conference

The Secretary General of the OIC, Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu strongly condemned the publishing of blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by Swedish artist Lars Vilks in the Nerikes Allehanda newspaper. He said that this was an irresponsible and despicable act with malafied and provocative intention in the name of so called freedom of expression and was intended to solely insult and arouse the sentiments of Muslims of the world.

The OIC Secretary General said that the international community was well aware of serious impact of such publications that were globally felt during the controversy that was created by the publication of similar cartoons by a Danish newspaper last year. The OIC Secretary General called on the Swedish Government to take immediate punitive actions against the artist and the publishers of the cartoon and asked for their unqualified apology. In this connection, he also called on the Muslims to remain calm and to exercise restraint.
