    The publication's move sparked condemnation from Pakistan's foreign ministry along with calls from Islamists to hold protests following Friday prayers, spurring thousands to mass in cities where they called for boycotts and the French ambassador's expulsion. | Above: Supporters of a religious group 'Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan chant slogans during a rally in Lahore.
