    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     alimusmani photographed protesting in Karachi, Pakistan, on September 16 in front of the U.S. consulate. He says there were thousands of people at the protest and security officials were called onto the scene, shooting the air as a way to deter protesters from approaching the embassy. He says the protests were in reaction to the anti-Islamic film that went viral over the Internet earlier in the week. 'They were condemning the shameful act of insulting beloved Prophet Muhammad -- peace be upon him -- again and again by the western world, either by cartoons, or movie, or burning Holy Book Quran. They were also demanding that the U.S. is responsible for it, and should have to leave the country, we do not want any further U.S. thralldom,' he said.
