The wave of protests over a film made in the United States that mocks the Prophet Muhammad has spread farther across the Islamic world. James Robbins has the details.
因一部在美国拍摄的嘲弄先知穆罕默德影片引发的抗议浪潮现已蔓延到整个伊斯兰世界。James Robbins报道。
More than a thousand protesters converged on the German embassy in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. Some managed to break through the outer wall, then smashed windows and set fire to at least one vehicle. The nearby British mission was also attacked but the perimeter was not breached. Police fired tear gas at crowds in the American embassy. In Tunis, protesters broke into the US embassy compound starting a large fire and the American school nearby was looted. In Egypt, the governing Muslim Brotherhood has withdrawn its calls for nation wide protest. But demonstrations continue to spread beyond the Arab world to include India, Malaysia and Indonesia too, the country with the world's largest Muslim population.
