Sydney Muslims Subdued After Riot
Well ... That was embarrassing
On a spring day a stream of men exits Sydney's Lakemba Mosque after prayers. A few offer their views on the violent protests that shocked Saturday shoppers in the city centre a fortnight ago.
"Hotheads", says one worshipper, referring to the young men who turned a demonstration against an anti-Islamic video into a riot.
Eleven arrests were made, 23 people, including six police officers, were injured.
