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.

While their mother expressed her outrage, two teenage girls shied away from the spotlight. "What happened in Tunisia and Sudan and other parts of the Middle East is not surprising," said one of the middle-aged supporters in the crowd. "They do not accept any insults to Judaism or anything opposing the Holocaust, so we are here to express our anger."
