Thousands of Pakistani women rallied here Saturday to protest against Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed and a Dutch film said to insult Islam, witnesses said.  
  
The women shouted "death to Denmark and death to Netherlands," as they marched about a kilometre (less than a mile) on a busy street.  
  
Police said up to 4,000 women, mostly from an Islamic party, took part in the noisy demonstration, venting anger against the Internet release of a 15-minute film last month by far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders and publication of the Prophet caricatures.  
  
In a resolution the rally urged the government to cease diplomatic ties with Denmark and the Netherlands and expel their envoys.
