A Flag Burning Reminder

Things have been a bit quiet on the old flag burning front lately but it made a comeback over the last few days with Israeli and American flags being burnt up in front of TV cameras after the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
The Iranians obviously have not taken the time since the last public bonfire of Old Glory to perfect the flag burning stunt because there were two on TV today and as they were made of the nylon type, they burned so quick that they didn't even get to finish the first chant of 'Death To Israel and America' before it had burnt up which was completely pants.
I did ask a textile expert a while a while back and even gave the Iranian's pointers on what material to make the flag from so they didn't embarass themselves in front of the World's media but it was obviously ignored in the rush to put a match to something and the advice was to avoid the Spandex, Polyester and Nylon as they may be cheap but tend to melt very quickly without a flame and can be quite disappointing
visually.
What you want is a good flame that burns for at least a couple of verses of who you want the death to come to so s flag made of Wool, Cotton and Hemp flags would ignite very easy but also tend to go out and you don't really want to be fiddling around with a lighter in the middle of a baying crowd.
They may be a bit more expensive but Silk and a Rayon mix of half natural and half synthetic is what you want, they ignite quickly but importantly burn slower with a steady flame so giving you adequate opportunity to wave it around while reciting insulting things about Donald Trump's small hands or Netanyahu's cross dressing before dropping it to the floor and grinding it into the dirt.
It is worth the extra bit of detail to get a satisfying result and if you can write your insults in English so the English reading World can see what you have the hump about it would be appreciated, ترامب لديه القليل من الحكمة ونتنياهو يمارس الجنس مع الماعز means very little to us.
