Veiled Girls wait for Pope Benedict XVI at the Presidential Palace in Baabda, east of Beirut, Lebanon, Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012. Pope Benedict XVI appealed for peace and reconciliation among religions Friday as violence over an anti-Islam movie spilled over into Lebanon within hours of his arrival in the tumultuous region. Lebanon has the largest percentage of Christians in the Mideast — nearly 40 percent of the country's 4 million people, with Maronite Catholics being the largest sect. (AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino)
