Prime Minister Julia Gillard has condemned a violent demonstration over an anti-Islam film in Sydney's CBD.

Eight people were arrested at the demonstration, the latest in a spate of protests at US embassies and consulates in the Middle East, Africa, Britain and elsewhere over a film that ridicules Prophet Mohammed.

Ms Gillard said violent protest was unacceptable.

"Violent protest is never acceptable - not today, not ever," she said in a statement on Saturday,

The film, Innocence of Muslims, has been condemned by governments across the world, including the White House.
