JORDANIANS PROTEST ANTI-ISLAM FILM ATTACKING AMERICAN ESTABLISHMENTS AS RIOTS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST

Lebanese protesters, angry over the prophet film attack American fast food restaurants after Friday prayers in Tripoli, Lebanon.

The low-budget movie, in which actors have strong American accents, portrays Muslims as immoral and gratuitously violent.
It pokes fun at the Prophet Mohammed and touches on themes of paedophilia and homosexuality, while showing him sleeping with women, talking about killing children and referring to a donkey as "the first Muslim animal."
"There is no excuse for making this film. They say amateurs made it. This is not true. Enemies of God made the movie, and this not the first time Islam has been insulted," Abdul Qader Shehadeh, a top Salafist leader also known as Abu Mohammad Tahawi, said during the demonstration.
"I tell American Zionists that your support to Jews will be eventually your end."
In central Amman, more than 1,500 Muslim Brotherhood supporters demonstrated against the move.
"There is no God but Allah and America is the enemy of Allah," they chanted before torching US flags.
"We do not want a US embassy on Jordanian territory."
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has condemned the film as "disgusting and reprehensible" and said "the United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video."
Similar demonstrations took place in other parts of Jordan.
Jordanian Information Minister and government spokesman Samih Maaytah said Amman has sent a letter to YouTube demanding it remove parts of the film posted on its website.
"Such insults to Islam and the prophet violate all international laws as well as Jordanian laws. We respect freedom of expression but such insults are completely rejected," he wrote, according to state-run Petra news agency.
The film has sparked violent protests across the Arab world and in several Muslim-majority countries.
Meanwhile, Lebanese security officials say one person has been killed and 25 wounded after clashes between police and protesters.
The officials said a crowd angry over the film set fire Friday to a KFC and an Arby's restaurant. They then clashed with police.
The security officials said police opened fire, killing one of the attackers.
Twenty-five people were wounded in the melee, including 18 police who were hit with stones and glass. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to brief the media.
Also, hundreds of Afghans — some shouting "Death to America" — have held a protest against an anti-Islam film in the eastern city of Jalalabad.
It is unclear who organized Friday's demonstration in the Marko area of Nangarhar province between Jalalabad and the Pakistan border.
One protester, a man named Zhirullah who spoke to The Associated Press on the phone from the site, says the crowd called on Afghan President Hamid Karzai to cut relations with the United States.
