Time to fire up the never ending Islamic outrage machine.

KHARTOUM — Hundreds of protesters upset over a movie mocking Islam demonstrated outside the American embassy in Sudan on Wednesday, an embassy official said, after attacks on US missions in Libya and Egypt.

“I do believe it was a few hundred,” the official said, asking for anonymity. “Our compound was not breached.”

The amateur American-made Internet video film at the centre of the controversy, “Innocence of Muslims”, portrays Muslims as immoral and gratuitously violent.

The film is being promoted by controversial Florida pastor Terry Jones, who has drawn protests in the past.

“It has to do with this film,” the US embassy official said of the protest by a group which called itself “Sudanese Youth”.
