Pope urges Lebanon to set an example for co-existence

None

Pope Benedict urged multi-faith Lebanon on Saturday to be a model of religious peace for the Middle East, as a civil war raged in neighbouring Syria, deepening sectarian divisions.

 

"Lebanon is called, now more than ever, to be an example," he told political and religious leaders on the second day of a visit that coincided with violent protests across the Muslim world against a US-made film insulting Islam. (Reuters)
