TEHRAN (FNA)- Thousands of UK residing Muslims, in a peaceful demonstration, took to the street in front of Google headquarter in London to oppose the recent release of a US-backed movie insulting holy Prophet of Islam by YouTube.

The demonstrators congregated outside the Google headquarters in London because YouTube directors, a subsidiary of Google, has refused to remove the movie from its website.

The 10,000-strong rally organized by Muslim Action Forum was held to force Google to remove the sacrilegious movie from YouTube video-sharing website.

"Our next protest will be at the offices of Google and YouTube across the world. We are looking to ban this film," organizer Massoud Alam told press tv.

"This is not freedom of expression; there is a limit for that. This insult of the Prophet will not be allowed," he added.

Muslim Action Forum, which was created in response to the release of the insulting film, says in its manifesto that it "unreservedly condemns the preposterous film vilifying Islam and desecrating the sanctity of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)" and calls for a "Campaign for Global Civility" in response to the video.

The protesters outside Google headquarters carried placards reading "Campaign for Global Civility" and "Don't they teach manners in Google" in line with the group's manifesto.

The rally that was the third of its kind in a month comes ahead of a planned millions-strong march against the sacrilegious film in Hyde Park, central London, in the coming weeks.

The film called "Innocence of Muslims", previously called Desert Warriors and Innocence of Bin Laden, is a 2012 anti-Muslim movie which insults Muslims' Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

The film has been financed by more than 100 Jews and produced by an American- Israeli man in the US.

The film has been widely condemned across the globe including Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Iran, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Morocco, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.
