I went to ABC Australia, and they are updating on this and providing pictures. Their media is saying that the protestors are claiming they are there to defend their prophet over the film, so they are blaming the film as well. They have this block in the article:
The film that triggered the unrest
The film titled Innocence of Muslims mocks the Prophet Mohammed and Islam.
Touches on themes of paedophilia and homosexuality.
Features low-budget production values, with actors in false beards in front of stock desert footage.
Cast members have said they thought it was a fictional epic, and later found their lines had been dubbed over.
Reportedly written by Nakoula Bassily Nakoula, 55, an Egyptian Copt on conditional release from prison.
Directed by 65-year-old Alan Roberts.
Reportedly produced by a US religious group called Media for Christ.
Promoted by a network of right-wing Coptic and Evangelical Christians with a radical anti-Muslim agenda.
Among them is Florida pastor Terry Jones, who spoke to The World Today about his involvement.

Not the people carrying signs calling for beheading...
But the original “upheaval”, which took place on Sept. 11 and included an RPG attack on an embassy, wasn’t about the film. The film was just a cover story to shift blame onto the West and promote aftershocks in other parts of the world. So far it has worked brilliantly. The western media and even the Obama admistration have latched onto the film as the root cause, and Muslims all over the world are seeing this and reacting to the film themselves.
