Demonstrators demanded that Pakistan be declared a terrorist state and Iran stopped from making nuclear weapons that threaten Israel. The banners called on the administration to protect the world from “radical” Islam.

Demonstrators said Obama must seize Saudi assets and recognise that Pakistan, a US ally, has hosted terrorists on its soil.
