Australia is the latest addition to the list of countries home to frenzied protests against the amateur American-made anti-Muslim film Innocence of Muslims. Hundreds of protestors clashed with police outside the U.S. consulate in Sydney on Saturday. Protestors gathered on the steps were carrying signs accusing President Obama of "liking Osama" and advocating the deaths of those who insult the Prophet Mohammed.

Four people were injured.
