It's increasingly apparent that the Libyan attack actually involved no public protest against the film at all, rather what happened was that about 125 armed men arrived at 9.30 at night and attacked with weapons, while shouting Islamist slogans, this was a terrorist attack rather than a violent protest, in fact in Libya the public protest was afterwards against the attack!
Libyans held demonstrations in Benghazi[28] and Tripoli[29] on September 12, condemning the violence and holding signs such as, "Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans", and apologizing to Americans for the actions in their name and in the name of Muslims. The New York Times noted that young Libyans had also flooded Twitter with pro-American messages after the attacks.[29] It was noted that Libyans are typically more positively inclined towards the US than their neighbors.[30] A 2012 Gallup poll noted that "A majority of Libyans (54%) surveyed in March and April 2012 approve of the leadership of the U.S. -- among the highest approval Gallup has ever recorded in the... region, outside of Israel." [31] Another poll in Eastern Libya, taken in 2011, reported that the population was at the same time both deeply religious conservative Muslims and very pro-American, with 90% of respondents reporting favorable views of the US.[32][33]

Whether the Libyan attack was pre-planned in relation to 9/11 (which seems more likely) or a spontanious action by an armed militia provoked by the film it cannot be said to represent a public protest at all.
Excepting the peaceful organised Hezbullah march (which was more a show of force by Lebanon's Shiite community in the light of Syria and the Popes visit). The Egyptian protests seemed the largest and they involved only 3000 people in a city of 16 million with high youth unemployment, with a dual protest (including the campaign to release the blind sheik organised earlier and the film) publicised by Islamist TV stations and supported by Salafi political parties.
