A large number of protesters in Iran staged rally on Friday against the production of an anti- Islam movie that insults Muslim's Prophet Mohammed.

The protesters in Tehran, chanting anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans, swarmed to Enghelab square in central city after the Friday prayers and condemned the production of the film in the U.S. as an "insult" to Islam.

In a statement issued by the protesters on Friday, they urged the United States to "officially apologize" to the Muslims for the production of the movie and punish its main producers.

The statement also called on the international organizations and human rights circles, including the United Nations and the Non- aligned Movements (NAM) to "seriously" condemn the production of the anti-Islam film and to sue its perpetrators.

Tehran's interim Friday Prayers Leader, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, said that "Such insulting moves (of producing anti-Islam films) will have adverse effect" to the advantage of Islam and to the disadvantage of the West, the official IRNA news agency reported.

"The movie has been made by the Americans and has been financially backed by the Zionists and it is considered as the most unprecedented and impudent insult to Islam," said Jannati, according to the report.

Hundreds of Iranians have protested on Thursday against the movie. The protesters gathered in front of the Swiss embassy in Tehran which represents the U.S. interests in Iran.

The production of the film has ignited violent protests across the Arab world.
