Protests over distasteful cartoons that showed Prophet Mohammed in uncharitable ways spread in many Asian countries often resulting in police firing. In Afghanistan, 2000 protesters tried to storm a US military base in Bagram and police firing killed 2 and injured 5 protestors. In Mihitrlam, Afghan police fired at a crowd when one of the protestors fired at them and others threw knives and rocks; 2 protestors were killed. In Kabul, police used batons and rifle butts to disperse 200 youths protesting outside the Presidential palace. In Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country, protestors threw rocks at the Danish Consulate in the second largest city Surabaya. In Malaysia, an editor who published one cartoon to highlight the lack of impact of the controversy in that country, resigned.
