POLICE have fired pepper spray at protesters in the Sydney CBD during a violent anti-US rally spurred by an internet video mocking Islam.

Officers - who have been showered with projectiles, including rocks, water bottles and scraps of wood gathered from nearby work sites - have already made several arrests and at least one person has been taken to hospital with a head injury.

About 80 officers set up perimeter around the protesters in Hyde Park, while a further 100 police officers were stationed near Parliament House in case the riot moved in that direction.

The Aussie police have experience dealing with these foolish Lebanese. So do the locals (back during the Cronulla riots a few years ago when the Lebbos stepped out of line).

God Bless the police officers.

I think the world is about ready to rip open...

It's either push back time; protect freedom or more chaos.

Boy Obama sure has brought everybody together. As for the little kid holding the sign that is ridiculous.

Obama and Hillary should be so proud

Thank you for the pictures naturalman1975.

The one that sticks out for me is the poor child holding the sign (third from the bottom). I feel bad for him, I have a son right around his age and I can tell by the picture and the look on his face that the kid would rather be doing anything other than standing there.

Once the muslims decide that their children's well being is more important than their stupid outrage over Americans we will see an end to this madness .... I won't hold my breath however :(

Islam is a death cult.

Its followers do not value life.

They destroy everything they come into contact with.

Gotta hand it to the Aussie cops. At least they were not like the Libyan security force who was confirmed of handing over the US staff members to the raghead mob.

This is the reason that you STOP ALL Islamic immigration into the West. These people do not belong in Western nations.

"Islam is a death cult. Its followers do not value life. They destroy everything they come into contact with."

I know DB, the poor child holding the sign doesn't know that yet and its sad he is burdened with his parents cult.

The little guy would fit in perfectly at our local park playing baseball, soccer or tag with my children. It breaks my heart that all he is exposed to is emotions of hate and evil.

We will win this war with islam when their society decides to put more effort into loving their children then they place in hating us.

again, with sadness, I'm not holding my breah

sounds like some countries know how to handle thugs...they should teach the USA. There was a time when police departments knew what to do.....dad being a mounted man in detroit talked about a few labor and race riots they had to settle down....A horse a full gallop and a cop swinging a 4=5 food billy club broke up lots of riots and stopped rioters from killing each other. Nothing makes you move like seeing that horse and rider heading your way, you move real quick....the labor riots were the worse...

Profound example of Muslim "innocence". I haven't seen the movie trailer but I am guessing that their actions are now confirming it's premise.

The more I look at that picture the angrier I get. I didn’t even notice the first time the mother has a camera and is taking a picture of her child holding the sign....like it is some precious “kodak” moment.
