Editor’s comments:  I have always wondered that thousands of movies never reach a critical mass and die their own natural death, why misrepresentations against Islam become fairly well known?  This may well be because the opportunist Muslim leaders themselves, find such events as easy opportunity to consolidate their constituencies.  They themselves popularize what if ignored would have died away.  I have never known these same leaders applaud the positive work done by people like Karen Armstrong or even fellow Muslims, as that may enlighten the masses, who may choose better leaders. In other words many of these leaders serve as pawns in the hands of anti-Islam forces.

Hundreds of protesters in Indonesia’s capital faced off with police, throwing stones and petrol bombs.

They burned the American flag and chanted anti-US slogans during the demonstration in Jakarta.

Police fired tear gas and made a number of arrests in response. One police officer was taken to hospital after being hit by a stone.

The US ambassador to Libya was among four Americans killed in the initial eruption of anger over the film.

But Libyan Interior Minister Fawzi Abdul Al has dismissed a claim on Sunday by the president of the national congress that 50 people have been arrested in connection with the deaths.  Read further.
