Footage from across the world shows how protests about the film have spread
Fresh protests are taking place around the Muslim world over an amateur anti-Islam video produced in the US.
One protester was killed in violent protests in Pakistan and thousands attended an angry demonstration in the Philippines city of Marawi.
Earlier, weapons were fired and police cars torched by protesters in the Afghan capital Kabul.
A large rally is due in Lebanon after Hezbollah's Sheikh Nassan Hasrallah called for protests to continue.
A trailer for the obscure, poorly made film at the centre of the row, entitled Innocence of Muslims, came to light in recent weeks and protests first erupted in the Egyptian capital Cairo last Tuesday.

A large protest is expected at about 1700 local time (1400 GMT) in a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut, Lebanon, called by Sheikh Nasrallah, leader of the influential Shia Muslim militant group.
'Prosecute and boycott'On Sunday he called for a week of protests - not only against American embassies, but also to press Muslim governments to express their own anger to the US.
Analysis
The demonstrations called for by Hassan Nasrallah to denounce the Innocence of Muslims film are likely to be big, but not violent.
Hezbollah followers are disciplined, and he has told them to act legally. The demonstrations over the next week are being held in areas where Hezbollah has sway, and there are in any case no obvious US-related potential targets.
Nasrallah believes such protests - aimed primarily at the US - are necessary, but not enough to deter repetitions of such "insults to Islam", of which he says the film is by far the most serious ever.
He says the primary responsibility lies with the governments in the Arab and Islamic worlds to pressure for steps to ensure that Islam and the other revealed religions are respected and that "this door is closed for good".
The world needed to know Muslims "would not be silent in the face of this insult", which he called "unprecedented".
Sheikh Nasrallah said the film aimed to cause strife between Muslims and Christians and applauded many protests so far for their focus on the US and Israel - which he said stood to gain from Muslim-Christian conflict - and not Christians.
Arab and Islamic governments should press for an enforceable international law banning insults to Islam and other religions, Sheikh Nasrallah argued - like laws which already existed to prevent anti-Semitism.
In a BBC interview, Tony Blair said the film was "wrong and offensive but also laughable as a piece of filmmaking - what is dangerous and wrong is the reaction to it".
The former UK prime minister, who now serves as a Middle East peace envoy, said the protests were ultimately about the "struggle of modernisation" under way in the region and not "some form of oppression by the West".

The eruption of anger has seen attacks on US consulates, embassies and business interests across the Middle East and north Africa. British, Swiss, German and Dutch properties have also been targeted.
The US ambassador to Libya was among four Americans killed on the day protests first broke out.
