                      Pope Meets Muslim Leaders in Lebanon

   Pope Benedict is expected to meet with Muslim leaders in Lebanon
   Saturday, as part of his three-day visit to the Middle East.
   Upon arrival in Lebanon Friday, the pope said he has come to the region
   as a "pilgrim of  peace".  The trip comes days after a deadly Muslim
   uprising
   in the region, triggered by a film produced in the United States
   mocking Islam's leader, the Prophet Muhammad.
   People lined the streets of Beirut, as the pope's motorcade made its
   way to the presidential palace Saturday, where he was greeted by
   President Michel Suleiman.  The pope is expected to give a speech on
   the pursuit of peace and reconciliation between Christians and Muslims.
   Pope Benedict says he never considered canceling his trip to Lebanon
   because of security concerns brought on by violence in the region.
   He is expected to hold two open air events.
