TEHRAN, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Protesters hurled petrol bombs at the French embassy in Tehran and threw stones at the Danish and British missions on Friday, despite calls by a senior cleric to stop attacks over cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad.

Reuters witnesses said a crowd of about 70 protesters gathered in front of the French embassy chanting "Death to France" and "Death to America". The crowd threw stones and at least three petrol bombs at the embassy, they said.

Earlier on Friday, a Reuters photographer saw a crowd of about 200 people hurl stones at the Danish embassy, which is surrounded by a high wall. Dozens of police prevented the protesters from trying to get into the compound.

The same crowd then moved to the nearby British diplomatic compound in northern Tehran and threw stones at it, a British embassy official said.

I'm not sure 70 is a crowd. I think it's more like a busload.

Those countries are such squalid looking places. I guess Mohammed likes it that way.

Nothing can be going good in Iran. Hate can not create good.

They can pull this stunt for awhile but I don't think anyone is going to rise to the bait.

This'll make it a lot easier for Europe to support us when it finally comes time to bomb the hell out of them.
