Police gas Sydney protesters angered by a US film, Innocence
of Muslims, portraying the prophet Muhammad as a womaniser and
paedophile.
Police have fought running battles across Sydney's CBD with
violent protesters angered by an anti-Islamic film that has outraged the
Muslim world.
NSW Police used batons, capsicum spray and the dog squad to quell the angry crowd, who carried signs such as ''Behead all those who insult the prophet'', ''Obama, we love Osama'' and ''Our dead are in paradise, your dead are in hell''.
At the height of the five-hour protest, riot squad officers chased Islamic extremists out of Hyde Park to Stanley Street, near the Australian Museum, where The Sun-Herald heard police shouting ''hit them'' as dozens of people shouted abuse and threw bottles.
