Leaders in Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan have joined a global chorus of condemnation of President Donald Trump's decision. Hundreds of protesters gathered in Afghanistan's capital with placards, effigies of Trump and at least one burning U.S. flag. In Malaysia, protesters gathered in front of the American embassy in the capital, Kuala Lumpur. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Thursday called on Muslims worldwide to strongly oppose any recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Controversial Pakistani cleric Hafiz Saeed promised bigger protests over Jerusalem and urged the government to convene a conference of Muslim-majority states.
