Muslims rally to protest drawings

TENS of thousands of Muslims around the world demonstrated against the drawings of the Prophet Mohammed after Friday prayers, some shouting anti-American slogans and burning Danish flags.

Rallies in Asia were the largest on the continent since demonstrations throughout the Muslim world erupted over the drawings first published in a Danish newspaper in September and recently reprinted in other European publications. One depicted the prophet with a turban shaped like a bomb with a burning fuse.

In Kenya, police shot and wounded one person as they sought to keep hundreds of demonstrators from marching to the residence of Denmark's ambassador.
