It's a protest against a govt that is seen to be strongly pro-islam and authoritarian.

The automatic reaction from some muslims will be that it is US-sponsored. Given the US's long track record of sponsoring coups and pro-western/secular movements, you can't really blame them.



Hm, I see. Sort of an ironic assumption given the protest started with the planned replacement of a park with a shopping mall.
