(AP) PARIS - A French police official said a few dozen people protested in front of the U.S. Embassy in Paris before police broke up the demonstration.

Television images showed Muslim protesters praying on the wide sidewalks in front of the embassy.

Saturday's protest was part of a wave of demonstrations by Muslims outside U.S. diplomatic posts, some of which have turned violent, over a film produced in the U.S. denigrating the Prophet Muhammad.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to give his name because of police rules, said the protest wasn't registered.

At least 80 protesters were taken away for identity checks. He said they have no plans to hold the demonstrators.

Years ago young Muslim men burned 1000 cars a night for months in protest of a police shooting. France has a problem, they know it and they don't know what to do about it.

If President Obama, wants to win a second term election by a landslide that have never been seen in the history of landslide's elections, all he needs to do, is to come up on camera broadcasting in the strongest terms possible, to the whole world giving an ultimatum to the muslims that, if you attack our Embassies or hurt American citizens or businesses, that will be the last thing you'll ever do.

We will hunt you, and we will kill you, and there's no place on this planet or any other planet that you can hide from our ARMY. Our satellites are tracking you and we will get you. And any country that support or insight violence against American interests will pay a very heavy price. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Paris has a very large population of Muslims in the area. Also about 70% of the population lives in Paris called French. This is a socialist State that has a lot of rules for people like this. The Muslims in the area most work at the Air Port in Paris which tells you to NOT fly in there but go to some other air port and travel back to Paris by train. It only takes you 1 hour to travel from London to Paris by train.

Maybe Christian countries should stop invading and murdering Muslims and vice versa?

I made a suggestion earlier that perhaps the answer would be to ship all of the ultraconservative Muslims and all of the ultraconservative Christians off to an island somewhere and let them have at each other.

Civilization has left some of us behind. Little people with little minds and a very little God so they turn to violence. Those with a big real God have big hearts of compassion. These are weak people, with weak minds, weak souls, and a weak God. A real God needs no hate and has a heart full of compassion. This is not about God at all. This is about little men proving how important they are. I don't think this has anything to do with some movie. And there are community organizers inciting this kind of thing. This is about power. And the mob does not know they are being used.

This could also be about the killing of Osama bin Laden and 9/11, perhaps?

I seem to recall former President George W. Bush claiming he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq...do you remember that?

The police in France don't have to give their names?
Then how do they identify bad cops to file complaints?

On another note, France should start kicking them out.

We have plenty of law enforcement officials here in the United States who make anonymous statements off the record. This has been happening for decades.

How old are you? Nine?

The Islamics are taking over Paris, having far more children that the native people. What will happen to Notre Dame, will it become a mosque? We Christians give up to easily. We need to let these muslims know in no uncertain terms that they will not take over our countries. Ship them all back where they came from, the desert.

I have a suggestion. I would like to see all the ultraconservative Christians and all the ultraconservative Muslims shipped off to an island somewhere and let you all have at each other! This would help keep the rest of the civilized world safe from all of you religious nuts!

It would not be politically correct to protest against the madness of these people.
