Small Protest outside French Embassy in Beirut
Less than 50 protesters on Sunday marched to the French Embassy in the Lebanese capital Beirut to denounce the anti-Mohammed cartoons and the stance of the French state.
The demonstrators raised banners that read: "Anything but Prophet Mohammed".
They also chanted in defense of Islam amid very tight security around the embassy.
According to LBCI television, security forces outnumbered the protesters.
A larger rally outside the embassy on Friday had witnessed minor clashes between protesters and security forces.
