In pictures: Muslim anger in Indonesia

In Indonesia there have been small, but growing, protests by Muslim groups against the US-led air strikes on Afghanistan. They are angry that the government has not condemned the military action.

There were scuffles outside the US embassy in the capital, Jakarta, on Wednesday, the third day of anti-US protests.

Riot police have been making a show of strength, and the protests are small compared to others in recent years.

For the second day running, police fired tear gas to disperse crowds who were trying to break through barricades.

Some protesters smeared their faces with toothpaste to try to ward off the effects of the tear gas.

Protesters want the government to cut ties with the US, rather than merely urging restraint.

A minority of extremists has threatened to expel Westerners unless the government condemns the air strikes.

Many of the protesters are women students.

There have been sporadic peaceful protests across the region, including Japan and the Philippines.
