3 killed in prophet protests in Pakistan

In this article, 3 people were killed and dozens injured due to protests of thousands of Pakistanis. On Friday, Pakistanis were infuriated by the anti-Islam film. Thousands of Muslims violently, including burning the American flag. Police were firing tear gas and live ammunition to tame the rioters from hurling rocks and setting fires to city buildings. Iraqi flags were raised as well as posters of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, while they were chanting "death to America". US officials try to explain to the Muslim world that they strongly disagree with the film, but they cannot block it due to freedom of speech. Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, the Pakistani Prime Minister summoned the international community to pass laws so no one can insult the Prophet Muhammad.
