Conservative Islamists, apparently upset over a movie produced in the United States that shows the Prophet Muhammad having sex, have lowered the American flag and replaced it with a black flag praising Allah.
Egyptian protesters, largely ultra conservative Islamists, have climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy in Cairo, stormed the courtyard and torn down down the American flag. The protesters replaced it with a Salafist flag with Arabic words that read, "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet."
The protesters are angered by an anti-Islam film produced in the U.S., clips of which are on YouTube, depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud who has sex and calls for massacres.
