There, the state religious apparatus had the state issued sermon/message read to the faithful, to rile them up.

Who knows what was said? Last day or two most outside sources of information have gone dead. What what was the content? True or false? If true, what was omitted, if anything? A rally-round-the-flag, remember the battle of Khayber, the lesson from the Battle of Badr and seige of Banu Quraysh, kind of message?

Hardly spontaneous, in any event.

It's why so many protests occur mid-day in Muslim countries.
