STORY: Hundreds of activists belonging to Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat marched through the streets of Pakistan's largest city, Karachi, on Sunday to protest against an anti-Islam film made in the US that mocks the Prophet Mohammad.

Anger against the 13-minute film, which first came to public attention more than two weeks ago, remains strong with some protesters calling for a death sentence for the filmmaker.

For many Muslims, any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous, and the film -- which portrays the Prophet Mohammad engaged in crude and offensive behavior -- has drawn wide spread outrage across the globe.

Days of anti-American violence provoked by the video have put embassies of Western nations across the world with a Muslim population on high alert.
