“कोवळे दिवस"-व्यंकटेश माडगूळकर, एक अस्वस्थ अनुभव

More protests were held across the Muslim world on Friday against the film made in the United States that criticises the Prophet Muhammad.

The Muslim Brotherhood cancelled planned rallies across Egypt, opting instead for a smaller demonstration at Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

Security remains tight outside the US embassy in the city. A concrete barrier has been erected around the building to ward off further attacks.

Nasser, a Cairo resident, deplored the violence that the film has sparked.

“We have other ways to protest. We shouldn’t have burnt the police cars. We shouldn’t destroy our property and waste our own money like that,” he said.

Demonstrations were also held in San’aa, the capital of Yemen.

The country’s government has long been an ally of the US in its fight against Al-Qaeda in the region.
