On Monday, September 17, 2012, police in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, detained some 30 Muslim activists Monday
while preventing a protest from breaking out near the United States embassy over a
film mocking Islam that has triggered uproar in the Arab world, AFP
reported.
More than 100 protesters chanting “God is Great” attempted to reach
the embassy and stage an unauthorized rally against the
film produced in the United States. The low-budget film, entitled “Innocence of Muslims,” has sparked
fury for mocking the Prophet Mohammed and portraying Muslims as immoral
and violent.
