McSecurity -- Soldiers of Pakistan's para-military force stand guard outside a McDonald's restaurant in Hyderabad near Karachi, Pakistan Sunday. Protesters continued rallies in different cities in the country to condemn the publications of cartoons depicting Islamic Prophet Muhammad as Pakistani security forces arrested hundreds of Islamic hard-liners. Gunfire and tear gas was used to quell the protesters. Elsewhere in the Muslim world on Sunday, demonstrators with wooden staves and stones tried unsuccessfully to storm the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia, while tens of thousands rallied in the Turkish city of Istanbul and complained about negative Western perceptions of Islam. In Saudi Arabia, newspapers ran full page apologies by Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first ran the caricatures in September.
