PARIS, Sept 21 (Reuters) - France confirmed on Friday it
would allow no street protests against cartoons denigrating
Islam's Prophet Mohammad that were published by a French
magazine this week.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls said prefects throughout the
country had orders to prohibit any protest over the issue and
crack down if the ban was challenged.
"There will be strictly no exceptions. Demonstrations will
be banned and broken up," he said.
