Protests spread against anti-Islamic film Hundreds of protesters demonstrating against the film torched a press club and a government building in the north western Pakistani town of Wari, setting off clashes with police that killed one demonstrator and wounded several others. Protests also turned violent outside the Camp Phoenix US military base in Kabul, where about 800 protesters burned cars and threw rocks, injuring about 20 riot policemen. Many in the crowd shouted "Death to America!" and "Death to those people who have made a film and insulted our Prophet." Hundreds clashed with police outside the US embassy in Jakarta, hurling rocks and firebombs and setting tires alight. It was the first violence seen in the world's most populous Muslim country in reaction to the Innocence of Muslims, a low-budget YouTube film apparently produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an Egyptian-born Christian based in California. Four Americans, including Chris Stevens, the US ambassador to Libya, were last week killed in an attack by armed militants on the US consulate in Benghazi amid a protest against the video. At least another five people have died subsequent protests. First posted online in July, the film was ignored until a14-minute trailer was translated into Arabic and then featured in a news report by a Islamist broadcaster in Egypt. In Europe, fringe groups who are in favour of the film are now beginning to pose a dilemma for Western leaders, who have denounced the film while calling for restraint from protestors. Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, said the authorities in her country, which has a sizeable Muslim minority, saw "good reason" for banning the film. "It's not about banning the film itself but about whether the public screening would endanger public safety," said Mrs Merkel, after a far-Right group said it planned to show the film publicly. On the weekend Germany forbade Terry Jones, the American pastor who sparked Arab outrage when he burned Korans on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, from entering the country. Germany has already withdrawn some staff from its embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, which was attacked on Friday along with the British embassy. Iran's theocratic leadership said it would hunt for those responsible for making the film. "The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns this inappropriate and offensive action," said Mohammad Reza Rahimi, first vice-president. Certainly it will search for, track, and pursue this guilty person who has insulted 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. A religious foundation in Tehran earlier raised the reward for killing Salman Rushdie, the British author condemned by a fatwa issued by the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989. The threat to Rushdie was removed in 1998 by the reformist president Mohammed Khatami, but the fatwa was never formally rescinded. Amid the violence, Muslim religious leaders, and one prime minister, have called for an international legal agreement to criminalise any insult to Islam and other religions, their holy books and their prophets. A global law along these lines with the imprimatur of the United Nations was sought for many years by the 57-nation Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) at the UN Human Rights Council, now meeting in Geneva. Every year for more than a decade until 2010 the council, where Pakistan is OIC spokesman, or its predecessor committee, as well as the UN General Assembly, passed majority resolutions on resolutions proposed by the Islamic grouping. But these were not converted into international agreement because of fierce opposition from the United States, European and some Latin American countries, who argued it would violate free speech and the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Following diplomatic negotiations spearheaded by the United States when the administration of President Barack Obama brought it into the council and support for the project waned, the OIC dropped its campaign two years ago. "It certainly looks as though they (the OIC) might aim to use this furore over a video everyone recognises is stupid and pathetic to try to relaunch the 'defamation' campaign," said one Western diplomat who asked not to be named.
