Anti-US protests by crowds spiraled into fury by a film that mocks Islam erupted across the Muslim world today, as violence exploded in Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen and Nigeria leaving dozens wounded.
In Nigeria, fights broke out in Jos Plateau state and there were rumors going round today that there would also be protests in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
The protests broke out when Muslims emerged from mosques following the weekly Friday main prayers to voice their anger at the film made in the United States, which ridicules the Prophet Mohammed and belittles the religion he founded.
In Cairo, where the first protests against the film broke out on Tuesday, protesters again clashed with police outside the US embassy, although calm returned later after the Muslim Brotherhood withdrew a call for nationwide demonstrations, saying it wanted to avoid loss of life and damage to property.
