Now the Associated Press is reporting a religious cleric in Egypt has issued a -- -- In essence a religious license to kill.

In a statement posted on that militant website the cleric says it is the duty of each Muslim to kill anybody associated with the video.

Meantime the protests continue.

And today in Beirut Lebanon the leader of -- his -- terror group called the people to keep demonstrating.

The protests there appeared peaceful -- diplomats and US embassy have reportedly started destroying classified material as caution.

The US State Department official tells the Associated Press there is no imminent threat to that embassy.

However in other areas the violence pressing right up against the gates.

In Pakistan US representatives say all Americans at the embassy -- -- after protesters fought with police right outside.

And made it to the consulates out of -- war.

But cops in private security forces fought back the demonstrators.

The medical official says one protester died in the fighting.

US officials relieved that they appeared to make no attempt to move out of their southern Beirut stronghold towards any US interest today shot.

Jonathan at the same time we're seeing that the in the places where there was a lot of violence -- loud protests last week against the US.

Seems to have calmed down today yet and that is what is.

Making many officials hopeful that perhaps the worst has -- -- you remember -- Cairo obviously lost Tuesday.

A huge demonstration against the embassy -- but look at it today.

It was very quiet on the road leading down towards the United States embassy and as you can see that -- -- -- square.

I remember we we -- all somewhat surprised on Friday the traditional.

Day of protest -- Kyra when it rather than a huge mall off to Friday press.

That would those small numbers that you see right that trying to make it towards the US embassy so -- we perhaps -- seeing is a similar sort of patent that we've seen before check.

Remember back in 2006.

The the Muslim demonstrations that a cut off to those Danish magazines published caricatures of the Prophet Mohamed think.
