Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi condemned Friday the anti-Islam film that insulted the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

"We cannot accept this type of aggression and attempt to sow discord. These irresponsible actions yield no good and draw attention away from real problems like the conflict in Syria, the fate of the Palestinians and the lack of stability in the Middle East," Mursi said during a visit to Rome.

Mursi, who was speaking as fresh clashes broke out between police and protesters outside the US embassy in Cairo in a demonstration over the film, also rejected the killing of innocent people.
Meanwhile, the US ambassador to Egypt has left Cairo amid the angry protests against the anti-Islam movie produced by an "Israeli"-American in the United States.
According to news agencies, Washington's embassy in Cairo was evacuated on Friday.

The protests have since spread across North Africa and the Middle East.
In parallel, Mursi stated that "the Egyptian people are moving towards the world. They are opening their doors to East and West. All the doors are open."

"Islam respects other religions. It aims to protect freedom and respect human rights. That is what the Holy Quran says," he added.
The Egyptian president also stressed the importance of business ties with Italy, thanking Italian companies for not leaving during the revolution.
Mursi was in Rome after travelling to Brussels for talks with European Union leaders on his first trip to Europe since his election in June.
