In Pictures: Hezbollah Stages Peaceful Video Protest

  

Hezbollah leader Sayyad Hassan Nasrallah's rare public appearance in Lebanon drew hundreds of thousands of supporters this week, many of them women and children. Preethi Nallu captures images of the crowds, who gathered to peacefully protest an anti-Islam video that has sent shockwaves through the Muslim world.

Leading religious leaders, flanked by tight security and media personnel, walked with arms locked in the demonstration. Many religious leaders, including Tripoli's Mufti Sheikh Malek Shaar, denounced the violent attacks in Tripoli, where Islamist youth set fire to American fast-food restaurants to protest the anti-Islam film.
