Hundreds of activists of the Tamil Nadu Tauheed Jamaat (TNTJ) shouted slogans and burnt the effigy of US President Barack Obama and the US flag near the American consulate here on Saturday.
However, unlike Friday’s events, when protests of the Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam turned violent, hundreds of police personnel in full riot gear, led by Joint Commissioner of Police S N Seshasai, stopped the sea of TNTJ protesters, estimated to be around 4,000, including 500 women, near the mosque at Thousand Lights. The Tauheed Jamaat cadre raised slogans and burnt the effigy of President Obama. The protesters were taken to New College on Peters Road and released in the evening. Later, 225 activists of the Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamaat were arrested when they tried to march towards the consulate. They were released later.

The video on the 'so-called' 'Prophet' was taken by an Egyptian guy and put on Youtube on Jul 2nd. So why are these Loonies attacking USA Consulate? What has USA got to do with it? These Muslims protestors are plain pathetic. They dont care when Saudi textbooks portray Jews as Apes, and Hindus are called Kafirs in their Quran. Because some fellow some-where in the world posts a cartoon, these crazies go loony. So much so for a 'Peaceful' religion? How come none of these fellows protest when Syria kills average 30-40 Muslims a day? This is complete nonsense going on
