Pakistan hit by anti-Islam video protests - Central & South Asia - Al Jazeera English

The US embassy in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad has become the latest target of protesters angry at an anti-Islam video that triggered protests in the Arab and Muslim world.

Hundreds of students from various colleges and educational institutions in Islamabad clashed with police on Thursday as police tried to block them from reaching the embassy.

Students pelted the police with stones, and the police retaliated by firing tear gas shells.

Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from Islamabad, said the situation had been brought under "control" by police and the military.

"Police tried to control the crowd by firing in the air and using tear gas. But because of the size of the crowd, the police were forced to ask for help from the military," he said.

Many thousands were trying to march but were prevented by the security forces, said our correspondent. He said military helicopters have been hovering over the area where the protests are taking place.

Several students were injured when policemen hurled the stones back at the crowd. According to local television channels, several policemen were also injured.

"Our policemen are not any better than the Americans because they are trying to stop us. They are in the same league as them, they are heretics like them," said student Jawad Ahmed.

"They should allow us to demolish the American embassy because they have blasphemed against our holy Prophet. The police are also becoming an accomplice of blasphemers."

NEW DELHI: Hundreds of demonstrators protesting against the anti-Prophet Muhammad film stormed the diplomatic enclave in Islamabad, Pakistan on Thursday. Authorities were forced to call in the army to control the situation which threatened to escalate into violence.

...Violence over the amateurish movie, which portrays the prophet as a fraud, womanizer and child molester, has left at least 30 people in seven countries dead, including the American ambassador to Libya. Two people have died in protests in Pakistan...

BTW is anything really objectionable in that movie or this is just a Halla-Gulla for the sake of radicalisation ? Who has seen the movie, how much it differs from the reality?

And America still believes in aiding Pakistan...

No, America believes that Pakistan is the Indian carrot, that they can use to antagonize us. You think the people of US has any converging interests with the people of Pakistan?

And America still believes in aiding Pakistan...

Pakistan is a minor counterweight to India according to US policy.
Actually US wants strong India but it never wants a India which will become another China for it.
For that it will make regional troubles which will contain india to a certain extent so that india can never outperform.

It was very funny watching the news feed of Geo TV on Times Now. The Rawalpindi cops and Punjab Politicians were blaming the authorities in Islamabad.
