Anti-American protests spread across Muslim world

North Africa, the Middle East and other parts of the "Muslim world" have been embroiled in protests this week following the publication of a film critical of Islam which protestors seem to be believe was condoned or supported by the United States. 

Following Tuesday's protest against the American embassy in Cairo, Egypt and deadly attacks following protests at the U.S. mission in in Benghazi, Libya, several other anti-American and "anti-Western" protests have taken place in:

Protests spread across the Muslim world this week.

Sanaa, Yemen: Thursday, 9-13-2012:  hundreds of protesters chanting "death to America" stormed the embassy compound and burned the American flag. The embassy said nobody was harmed.

Kashmir, India:  Friday, 9-14-2012:  approximately 15,000 protesters in took part in more than two dozen protests across the Muslim-majority region, chanting "Down with America" and "Down with Israel." Kashmir is notably a tense region, with an-going border dispute between China, India and Pakistan and with a large population of hardline Muslim followers who don't recognize the Indian government.

Jakarta, Indonesia:  Friday, 9-14-2012:  roughly 200 protesters chanted slogans and held up signs in an overall peaceful demonstration outside the heavily-guarded U.S. embassy.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia:  Friday, 9-14-2102:  peaceful demonstrations were also held in the capital city of Malaysia, where about 30 protesters called on the United States to block the distribution of the controversial film.

Khartoum, Sudan: Friday, 9-14-2102:  Several protesters attacked not only the American embassy in Sudan's capital but Germany's and the United Kingdom's as well.  Protesters stormed the German embassy, pulled replaced its emblem with an Islamic flag, and set the building on fire.

Tripoli, Libya: Friday, 9-14-2102:  Protesters chanted against America as well as the Pope's three-day visit to Libya and later set fire to a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.  At least one person was killed and 24 were wounded in clashes with police.

For those already thinking a protest against the entire American government for the acts of a private filmmaker are misplaced, imagine how German officials (who had nothing to do with anything) must feel now.
