Islam Times - At least three people have been killed and 28 others injured in an attack on the United States Embassy in Tunis by angry demonstrators protesting the production of an anti-Islamic movie in the US.


Meanwhile, the US ambassador to Tunisia has been evacuated from the embassy following the attack.

Earlier in the day an American school in the Tunisian capital of Tunis was reportedly set on fire by demonstrators.

    The Muslim world is outraged at the US for allowing the production of the blasphemous video, which insults the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and depicts Islam as an oppressive religion.


Protests have also erupted in several other countries including Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan in response to the sacrilegious film.

Angry protesters across the world have poured into the streets to condemn the blasphemous movie and demand the US government apologize to the Muslim world.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that the blasphemous movie has been produced by anti-Islam Israeli-American Sam Bacile.

The report added that, Bacile, a real estate developer, has assumed responsibility for the film, which he said was made thanks to Jewish donations totaling USD 5 million.
