French Embassy next in line to be stormed by Islamists in Iran?(Fars). Iranian Students Demand Expulsion of French Ambassador from Tehran. Angry students in the Iranian capital staged a massive rally and burned the US, Israeli and French flags in a show of protest against the sacrilege of Islam's Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in a US-Israeli movie and a French magazine. Hundreds of protestors who had gathered in front of the French mission in Tehran this afternoon chanted "Death to the US", "Death to France" and "Death to Israel".
Students also cried out their protests in French, demanding the government to expel the French envoy and close down the French mission in Tehran in retaliation for the publication of blasphemous cartoons by a French magazine directed at the holy prophet of Islam.
Police and security forces prevented the crowd from approaching the diplomatic compound. In a final statement issued at the end of the rally, the students warned the western states to put an end to their insults to Islam. In a similar protest rally on Thursday, hundreds of students gathered in front of the embassy complex to protest at the sacrilegious cartoons. The Iranian students also chanted slogans, calling for unity among Muslims and respect for the holy prophet of Islam (PBUH), and expressed disgust at the French government's anti-Islam policies.
The blasphemous caricatures were published after an anti-Islam US-Israeli film drew condemnation from numerous countries including Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Iran, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Morocco, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. In Iran, millions of Iranians in Tehran and other cities across the country held nationwide rallies in protest against the recent desecration of Islam.Read the full story here.
