Eighty-six people were arrested on Friday after a group of more than 2,000 Muslim protesters threw stones and smashed windows at the US consulate in the Indian city of Chennai. No Americans were injured.

DECCAN (H/T Susan K) At least 2,000 angry Muslims attacked the US consulate general with stones and sticks at the busy Gemini Circle, Chennai on Friday evening in protest against an American film that denigrated the Prophet. The protesters broke the bulletproof glass window at the mission entrance. The police force was either inadequate in numbers or it just failed to respond in quick time to the attack by members of the Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK).

The TMMK had given notice of its rally a couple of days back, yet the Chennai police did not take adequate measures to prevent the violence, particularly considering such attacks aga-inst American missions have taken place elsewhere in the world.
“All our staff are safe and accounted for. We do not want to say anything more at this point of time,” said a spokesman for the U.S. Consulate General late on Thursday evening, when asked to comment on the TMMK attack on the mission. The diplomats and other staff were rattled by the violence that took place despite the presence of police force at the busy Gemini junction, where the fortress-like mission is located.

They were even more distressed on knowing that another Muslim outfit, the Tamilnadu thowheed Jamath has put out notice that its members would ‘lay siege’ to the mission on Saturday morning. Two guards working for a private security agency employed by the mission were injured in the attack by the agitators.
“We will be better prepared on Saturday”, assured Chennai police commissioner J K Tripathy, trying best to overcome his embarrassment at being not just outnumbered by the protesters but also outsmarted. “We were expecting them to assemble at the Thousands Lights mosque on Peters Road but the protesters came in five buses from the Tambaram side and got to the consulate by jumping from the Gemini flyover”, he said.
A senior state official noted grimly that despite its image as a peaceful and sober state, Tamil Nadu has now managed to get into world news by being the only place in India to witness a violent demonstration and attack on a US mission.

Obama will probably blame it on poor security or something else that he has control over but doesn't realize... Time for the Brits to whip the Indians back into line. They ended wife burning in India, maybe they can end the violent Shiite Muslims trying to overthrow the peaceful Hindus.

because mendacity to the individuals is all he's ever performed. Plus is distracts from the authentic topics we are dealing with as a rustic that he's failed epically at. like the commercial equipment, the deficits, unemployment, immigration, the structure, etc. And the corrupt media help him alongside. And regardless of all that, Romney nevertheless leads Obama. are you able to imagine how unpopular the oppressive regime's ideology that has taken over our instructional establishments, our media, and our authorities if people truthfully were instructed the reality and paid interest? Communists like Obama would have under no circumstances even come close to to be considered for presidential nomination, a lot less "Win" the known and "win" the final elections.
