LAST UPDATE
Thousands
of people have taken to the streets in the Nigerian city of Kaduna in
the latest protest against a US-made movie and blasphemous cartoons in a
French magazine that insult Islam's Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
Protesters on Monday carried banners that read "Death to America" and "Death to Israel”, as they burned American flags along with those of Britain and Israel.
"We are holding this protest to express our outrage over the movie that blasphemed Islam," Mukhtar Sahabi, a protest organizer said.
On Saturday, tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Kano, Nigeria's second city, stomping on American flags and burning pictures of US President Barack Obama.
The protests against the movie have intensified in the Muslim and non-Muslim countries after French weekly Charlie Hebdo on September 19 published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in yet another proof of the West’s Islamophobia campaign.
Demonstrations against the movie have been held across the Muslim world, with protesters in some countries marching on the US embassies and torching US flags.
Protesters demand that Washington apologize to the Muslim world over the film. They also call for the punishment of those behind the film.
The anti-Islam movie is said to have been made with the help of Zionist Jews donations totaling USD 5 million.
Muslims in Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Kashmir, Pakistan, India, Iraq, Gaza, Morocco, Syria, Kuwait, Nigeria, Kenya, Australia, Britain, the United States, France, Belgium, and some other countries have held many demonstrations to condemn the blasphemous film.
