Message: <blockquote data-quote="eranga_rama" data-source="post: 13443592" data-attributes="member: 85571">Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah calls for a week of protests in Lebanon.The demonstrations called for by Hassan Nasrallah to denounce the  Innocence of Muslims film are likely to be big, but not violent.          Hezbollah followers are disciplined, and he has told them to  act legally. The demonstrations over the next week are being held in  areas where Hezbollah has sway, and there are in any case no obvious  US-related potential targets.          Nasrallah believes such protests - aimed primarily at the US -  are necessary, but not enough to deter repetitions of such "insults to  Islam", of which he says the film is by far the most serious ever.          He says the primary responsibility lies with the governments  in the Arab and Islamic worlds to pressure for steps to ensure that  Islam and the other revealed religions are respected and that "this door  is closed for good".          He wants the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation to  formulate an enforceable international law that would be put to the US,  the UN, the EU and other quarters.           Hezbollah is the real power behind the current Lebanese  government. Shortly after his speech, the Lebanese foreign minister said  he had contacted the Arab League to call for an emergency meeting of  Arab foreign ministers.</blockquote>
