Enraged Muslims in the Sudanese capital Khartoum stormed the German embassy there, setting it partially on fire and raising an Islamist banner. The British embassy was also attacked, according to the BBC. The German foreign ministry confirmed all its staff in Khartoum were safe.
One person was killed in Lebanon, and five were hurt in Cairo. There were also clashes in Yemen, Tunisia and Jerusalem.
In Cairo, police fired tear gas at about 500 protesters, pushing them back from the US embassy. The streets nearby have been blocked with barbed wire, concrete and police vehicles.
In Lebanon, rioters in Tripoli set fire to a KFC branch. Pope Benedict XVI was set to visit the country for the fourth time on Friday.
In Jerusalem, demonstrations were held after Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque in the Old City.
The protests began peacefully with several hundred people demonstrating on the plaza that holds both the Al-Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques, chanting, "With our blood and our soul, we will sacrifice for you our Prophet."
But clashes broke out between a part of the crowd and Israeli police as the demonstration moved out of the Old City, with security forces firing tear gas and stun grenades that injured at least five people, an AFP correspondent said. Several policemen were reportedly hurt.
"Israel police are dispersing rioters at Damascus Gate, rocks and stones are being thrown at them," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP in the early afternoon.
Demonstrators appeared to be trying to head to U.S. diplomatic premises in east Jerusalem, with Israeli police, some on horseback, seeking to prevent the protest from moving.
There was also some Arab rioting in Akko, in northern Israel.
In Gaza, thousands of people rallied at demonstrations in Gaza City and the southern town of Rafah, a day after the ruling Hamas party urged citizens to turn out for protests after Friday prayers.
Protesters waved the flags of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, and set fire to American flags, chanting "Death, death to America, death, death to Israel."
Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh, in a sermon during Friday prayers, repeated a call on Washington to apologize for a film, produced in the United States, which portrays Islam's Mohammed in a negative way.
"The US administration should apologize to the Arab and Islamic nation for this offensive film and bring these criminals to justice," he said.
Haniyeh said the film was the result of "a Jewish-American-Crusader alliance to ignite a war on Islam and sectarian strife, particularly in Egypt."
The amateur production called "Innocence of Muslims," which was virtually unheard of before this week, has sparked violent protests across the Middle East.
The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other US personnel were killed in a terror attack at the city of Benghazi, and four people were killed on Thursday when Yemeni police opened fire at a protest in Sana'a.

“Enraged Muslims...”
Is there any other kind?
It is almost impossible to defend Western diplomatic missions in Islamic counties with weak governments. Flash mobs directed by terrorists are a constant threat. The Marines and security contractors would have to fire with deadly intent to protect these places. It is clear that the Obama administration will not offer a stout defense. Those two ex navy Seals who died in Libya were probably ordered not to fire. They probably died frustrated and astonished.
Must have seen the german dubbed version of the 12 minute You Tube vid.

Mama says that muzzies are ornery 'cause they got all them teeth but no toothbrush.
Is that the one where Hitler rants about Mohammed in the bunker?
I’d say ‘oxymoon’, but more like camel morons...

Check out the big medulla oblongatas on dem Muslims (a/k/a “The Devil”).
Know what you mean.
I’m growing some trees from acorns. Bet they are mighty oaks before that happens.
The reasoning to support all this violence seems to parallel - in some respects - that for our own civil war. The friction started for one reason (economics in the 1860’s and as an 9-11 anniversary “present” in the Middle East) and changed in mid-stream to slavery in the former case and to this “movie” in the latter. In both cases though the war was pre-planned by the people who would profit most.
Is there any other kind?"
Dead ones; we need more of the latter and fewer of the former.
Yes, there are "Enraged Muslims" and "Soon to be Enraged Muslims". /s
Make no mistake...this entire ‘caliphate’ in the Middle East has but ONE goal...the final all out invasion and destruction of Israel.
Once Israel has been overrun and destroyed, the occupier in our White House will act. His ‘outrage’ about the destruction of Israel will be ‘avenged’ with selected massive strikes in the Middle East.
Obama...’The Hero’ will be vaulted into his second term.
As Drudge would proclaim...developing.
‘Seals were probably ordered not to fire.’ If they had NO ammo, it wouldn’t have really mattered, would it?? Because we want to be nicey-nice to the Muzzies, don’t you know?
We need to use the CHIVINGTON option on moslems.
“kill them all! Nits make lice.”-Chivington
The mohammadens know weakness when they see it. Hyenas, like mooslims and other predators, smell fear and attack. That is what this is all about, not some Internet movie. I doubt if there is a single country on the planet that actually respects us at the moment.
