Thousands rally against US-made anti-Islam film in Michigan

The demonstration took place on Friday in metro Detroit where protesters strongly condemned insult to Islamic values.

They also carried banners that read "Say No to Hate-Mongering, Say No to Islamophobia,''.

“We need to speak out against discrimination against Islam,” said Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Richard Halloran during the protest.

Reports said that the rally was organized by Arab-American leaders.

    Another rally against the blasphemous movie and the anti-Islam cartoons is reportedly planned for today in Canton, situated 23 miles (37 km) west of Detroit.


The protests against the movie have intensified in the Muslim and non-Muslim countries after French weekly Charlie Hebdo on September 19 published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in yet another proof of the West’s Islamophobia campaign.

Demonstrations against the movie have been held across the Muslim world, with protesters in some countries marching on the US embassies and torching US flags.

Protesters demand that Washington apologize to the Muslim world over the film. They also call for the punishment of those behind the film.

The anti-Islam movie is said to have been made with the help of Zionist Jews donations totaling USD 5 million.

Muslims in Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Kashmir, Pakistan, India, Iraq, Gaza, Morocco, Syria, Kuwait, Nigeria, Kenya, Australia, Britain, the United States, France, Belgium, and some other countries have held many demonstrations to condemn the blasphemous film.
