Turks protest anti-Islamic film

  • 12 years ago
Some 300 people gather outside one of Istanbul's main mosques on Friday protesting a film they say insults the Prophet Mohammad.

They chanted anti-US slogans and waved placards reading "God damn America" and "The United States is responsible for what happened" outside Beyazit Mosque.

The controversial film which mocks the Prophet has triggered widespread condemnation across the Muslim world.

It also led to the killing of U.S. ambassador Christopher Stephens in an attack on the American diplomatic mission in Libya on Tuesday.

In Yemen, one person died and 15 were injured on Thursday when the U.S. embassy compound was stormed.
