Violent protests against film continue

Western embassies across the Muslim world are on high alert for violence, stemming from the film, “The Innocence of Muslims” which was produced by an obscure group in the United States.

Indonesian protestors threw Molotov cocktails as they clashed with police on Monday, outside the U.S. embassy in Jakarta. The Indonesian town of Madan also held demonstrations against the film. Nearly one thousand demonstrators staged a protest in Afghanistan’s capital shouting “Death to America!” as they burned cars and tires in Kabul near a U.S. military base. And on Sunday hundreds of Pakistanis protesting the film clashed with police as they tried to march towards the US consulate in the southern city of Karachi. In Lahore around 5,000 people protested against the film as well. Peaceful demonstrations were held in several other cities in Pakistan. A small group of activists burned a US flag in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Sunday.

The man allegedly behind the obscure private film was questioned yesterday by U.S. authorities in California.
