TENS of thousands of Turks rallied overnight in protests against the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, burning a Danish flag and throwing stones at a French consulate.
In what appeared to be the largest such demonstration since the caricatures were first published in Denmark in September, 50,000 people massed in the main square of the eastern city of Diyarbakir, shouting anti-Danish slogans.
Before splitting up, demonstrators also called for a boycott of Danish products. In Istanbul, Turkey’s biggest city, about 150 people pelted the French consulate with stones and eggs, shouting “Allah is great” and “Revenge”.
