Protests Erupt Over Film Blasphemy Across Regions
Widespread protests against a movie denigrating the Prophet Muhammad clash with security forces near the US Embassy. Police cleared crowds after days of clashes, arresting 220. A concrete wall blocked the embassy road as riots flare in Sydney and broader regional tensions rise. President Obama urges religious freedom and condemns violence while noting four Americans killed in Benghazi. The Taliban claim an attack in Afghanistan in retaliation, tying violence to the film's insults. Demonstrations spread to over 20 countries across the Middle East Africa and Asia, with a mix of peaceful and violent protests.
