On his part, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was quoted as saying the caricatures are an attack on "our spiritual values," adding they had damaged efforts to establish an alliance between the Muslim world and Europe. Hundreds of Turks emerging from mosques following Friday prayers staged demonstrations, including one in front of the Danish consulate in Istanbul. In the Indonesian capital Jakarta, more than 150 Muslims stormed a high-rise building housing the Danish Embassy and tore down and burned the country's white and red flag. The government ordered police to upgrade security at embassies across the capital.

On the other hand, Muslims protested outside the Danish Embassy in Malaysia, chanting "Long live Islam, destroy our enemies."--MORE 12 21 Local Time 09 21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/323497
