Outrage over an anti-Islam film boils over in Antwerp.
About 200 mostly young Muslims protest the film, which was made in the United States, in the Belgian city.
Women and children also joined in, chanting a few metres away from the men.
The amateur film widely seen as offensive to Prophet Muhammad has sparked protests across the Middle East as well as small demonstrations in Europe.
Belgian police said they arrested more than 120 protesters and would release them after identity checks.
