Hundreds of Muslims in the Philippines on Monday picketed the US Embassy and asked the Supreme Court to ban public screenings of an anti-Islam film produced in the United States. The demonstrators, numbering around 300, waved banners reading "Freedom of religion prevails over freedom of expression" and "No to US double standard" as they briefly protested outside the tightly guarded US Embassy. They later marched to the Supreme Court where they filed a petition for the high tribunal to order the government to ban the film Innocence of Muslims. "The blasphemous film is a vicious attack on the faith of two billion Muslims, about 7 to 10 million of whom are in the Philippines," the demonstrators said in a statement. "This is a people's initiative that seeks legal remedy to an injustice."
