Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has called for nationwide protests tomorrow against a controversial film depicting the prophet Mohammed. The film has already sparked a deadly attack in Libya and violent protests in Egypt, at the US embassy. According to the Brotherhood's Secretary General, Mahmud Hussein, on Friday they're calling for peaceful protests outside all of the country's main mosques. RFI speaks to Sondos Asem, a leading representative of the Muslim Brotherhood's online presence.
