Summary Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah makes a rare public appearance in protest rally.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made a rare public appearance on Monday to address tens of thousands of marchers protesting against an anti-Islam film.Prophet of God, we offer ourselves, our blood and our kin for the sake of your dignity and honour, said Nasrallah, who has lived in hiding to avoid assassination since Hezbollah fought a month-long war with Israel in 2006.America, hear us - dont insult our Prophet, chanted the marchers at the demonstration, called for by the leader of the Shiite Muslim group Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.The peaceful protest, which came after a weekend of violent demonstrations across Arab capitals in which several US embassies were attacked, stayed well away from US mission on the citys northeastern outskirts.It followed a three-day visit to Lebanon by Pope Benedict who used his trip to call for reconciliation between Muslims and Christians.On Friday, one person was killed in Lebanons northern city of Tripoli in protests against the film.The US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed last week in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
