Pakistanis protest against anti-Quran film
By ASHRAF KHAN, Associated Press Writer Sat May 3, 6:10 AM ET
Muslims in Pakistan have staged similar protests since March when Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilder released the controversial film, portraying Islam as a ticking time bomb aimed at Western democracy.
The 15-minute film entitled "Fitna," an Arabic word meaning "ordeal," was posted on a Web site.
On Saturday, about 5,000 Muslims demonstrated in Karachi, chanting slogans against the Dutch lawmaker and the Danish government.
The rally was organized by a group called Movement for Protection of Prophet's Glory, and it ended peacefully.
