( CNN ) -- Several diplomatic facilities were shuttered Friday as many brace for intensified protests over the anti-Islam movie `` Innocence of Muslims , '' as well as recently published cartoons in a French publication of a figure resembling the Prophet Mohammed . Demonstrations have raged for days as many in the Muslim world are angry about the U.S.-made Prophet Mohammed mocking film and the French cartoon . And some believe Friday prayers , a time of protest recently in the Middle East and North Africa , could add fuel to the fire . Demonstrations occurred in Pakistan , Afghanistan and Iran Thursday . The developments include : . Protesters set blaze in Pakistan . Protesters in Peshawar , Pakistan torched two movie theaters in the city Friday morning , in protest against the film and the cartoon , a fire official said . Firefighters were able to extinguish one blaze in about 90 minutes but were not able to get to the other fire , said Nadir Shah , a fire brigade official . `` We were informed by the police that the two cinemas had been set ablaze by rioters and so we responded immediately , '' said Shah . There were also protests reported in Rawalpindi and Karachi , CNN affiliate Geo TV reported . Children chant 'Death to America ' This comes a day after about 100 small children in Karachi repeated anti-American slogans during a protest in the coastal Pakistani city , a police official said . Video showed children repeating an adult voice , `` Death to America '' and `` Any friend of America is a traitor . '' `` Punish the blasphemer , '' children chanted Thursday . One placard read , `` Shut down website of blasphemous film . '' The film reference is to the `` Innocence of Muslims , '' which mocks Mohammed as a womanizer , child molester and killer . A 14-minute trailer for the movie was first posted online in July , though it was n't until this month that it came to the global consciousness . Since September 11 , Muslims have staged a wave of protests in more than 20 countries decrying the film and the nation in which it was privately produced , the United States . The children in Karachi -- seemingly between the ages of 6 and 8 -- demonstrated across from the Karachi Press Club , said Ghulam Qadir , a Karachi police official charged with keeping track of all demonstrations at the club . The event was not formal or planned , so authorities did n't know ahead of time it would happen , he said . In general , Pakistani parents are not informed about every event organized by a school . At least four teachers accompanied the children to the demonstration , Qadir said . There did not appear to be any parents there . Facilities close in Indonesia . The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta , , the U.S. Consulate General in Surabaya and U.S. Consular Agency in Bali and two other facilities would all be closed Friday because of the `` potential for significant demonstrations that might be held in front of these facilities . '' officials said in a news statement . Protests have demonstrated in Indonesia last week . About 100 demonstrators gathered last Tuesday near a U.S. diplomatic facility in Medan , Indonesia , the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta said . German Embassy to close in Sudan . The German embassy in Sudan 's capital city Khartuom will be closed Friday as authorities anticipate protests over the cartoon published in French magazine Charlie Hebdo , state-run Ashorooq TV reported . `` Security measures have been tightened at other diplomatic mission abroad , '' Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said . Tunisian authorities ban all demonstrations Friday . Seeking to avoid a repeat of what happened exactly one week earlier , Tunisia 's interior ministry banned all demonstrations Friday , the state-run Tunisian News Agency ( TAP ) reported , citing a statement from the ministry . The report said the protest ban is `` in accordance with the provisions of the state of emergency '' that has been in place since the ouster January of its longtime president , Zine El Abidine Ben Ali . The statement refers to `` calls launched via social networks '' to demonstrate over the Charlie Hebdo cartoons . And it comes six days after four protesters died and 49 were wounded during an assault Friday on the U.S. Embassy in the capital of Tunis , TAP previously reported , citing Charles Nicolle Hospital interim general director Souad Sadraoui . Presidential spokesman Adnene Mansar denounced Charlie Hebdo 's publication of the cartoons as a `` deliberate insult , '' adding that `` some circles are deliberately seeking to stir up tension in relations binding the Muslim and Western worlds . '' `` We should not fall in the trap of provocation , we should rather denounce these acts by peaceful means , '' Mansar said , according to a TAP report . National Constituent Assembly Speaker Mustapha Ben Jaafar said , in another TAP story , that the bloody September 14 protests `` do not reflect the mood of the moderate and tolerant Tunisian people . '' `` Political , ideological and religious violence is ( no ) longer tolerated in present-day Tunisia , '' Jaafar said Strasbourg in eastern France , calling abiding by the `` rule of law ... an absolute priority .
