Where is the Anti IS march

I don't think you fully understand what ISIS want. They are not making demands, there is nothing that we (the west) can give them that they want.

Right now, they believe they are following and fulfilling prophecies that have predicted an apocalyptic battle between Islam and the west. They want to 'purify' the world by murdering westerners and apostates. They are following what they believe to be a prophecy that will ultimately result in a final global apocalypse, followed by a worldwide Islamic caliphate, with no countries or borders.

You can march all you like against that, but it isn't going to make a squat of difference to ISIS and their ideology.
you talking about the EU again :nono:

If we all just ignore them, they'll probably get bored and stop doing it.

Perhaps if it was organised by the leading Muslim Clerics denouncing their action it would possibly put more of joining them and show that they are deluded and not acting on behalf of Islam.

Yeah, I think thats spot on. Still, a peace demonstration by muslim communities rejecting ISIS would be a positive thing within the context of our own society, and certainly not totally pointless. Whilst we can't change ISIS' minds in the middle east, we can do more to prevent radicalisation of muslim teenagers and prevent a breakdown of relations between the muslim and christian communities in Britain, and a visible statement of rejection of ISIS by British muslims would be a positive thing.But I'm not going to criticise them for not doing so.

and of course..

Besides which, if it did take place, it wouldn't take much for a few ignorant boneheads to turn it from an anti-IS demonstration into an anti-muslim demonstration, thereby completely playing into IS' hands.

There was one in December, one in October 2014 and one in August 2014 from the top few results on Google for Anti-ISIS March. May well be more (there seems to have been one in Liverpool and some in the US).

However, [MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION]'s point is pretty much the point. ISIS denounce anyone who disagrees with them as non-believers and corrupted, no matter how respected of a figure that person is.

These clerics and community leaders get wheeled out in front of the cameras every time there is an atrocity committed supposedly in the name of Islam, with non-Muslims feeling these leaders need to account for the actions of people who are nothing to do with them.

I'd imagine they're pretty cheesed off (a) for the victims and (b) for feeling that they need to apologise every time one of these attacks takes place.

They condemn the terrorists every single time. Do they need to walk along the street with a placard in order to achieve exactly the same thing - just to please others?

I agree complete but for one thing, the likes of Chowdrey don't condemn it, they praise it, and that also gets reported in the news.

Really? The airport, underground, outside a football stadium at a concert, in dinning areas all seem fairly random and not in areas where they would be packed with the majority being muslim?

In Europe, yes, but they are targeted because they are busy areas. They're happy to draw the 'west' in. They see it as an opportunity to recruit. But...

The history of the movement suggests the main war is with other Muslims and their activity in the middle east shows this. Remember, their aim is to establish a caliphate. I don't have the time or patience to explain- except to say that some in the leadership don't even want the activities in the west to become part of the blueprint. There is also evidence to suggest that some of these attacks are merely splinter groups who the main body have little to do with. But, naturally, they are happy to claim responsibility.

I was on a brisk 3 mile walk from the far side of Hyde Park to theatre-land and happened across this march which was taking up most of Regent Street. It was unfortunate I couldn't hang about because there was a "welcoming committee" at Piccadilly Circus waving Union Jacks and ringed by police. It was sure to get interesting when the march reached them.

The only ones from what I see who are making a stand against radical islam albeit not to our liking.

You won't get one because the far-lefties will turn up and throw bottles of piss at them.

Oh dear, I must have got the wrong sort of TV. Perhaps it is too old to broadcast these apologies?

Well, it wouldn't hurt them to do so, would it? And it wouldn't do any harm either.

After all, there are plenty of people (no names, no pack-drill) who think we should all take to the streets with banners condemning going into Afghanistan after El Quaeda (sp?), kicking Saddam Hussain out of Kuwait, invading Iraq (OK, that was a bad decision), slavery, the crusades and the holocaust (even though we fought against the perpetrators of that).

Perhaps its the prophet Muhammad and the messages he left behind is the problem.

It's not like he was a Christ like peaceful Hippy in his words, attitudes and actions.

Would only serve to legitimatise an illegal bunch of gangsters into a something that would then be seen as a state

Why is it so stupid. Surely the world uniting, including people who share the religion that these vermin claim to act under, to protest and ostracize them would be better than doing nothing?

If this is the most stupid idea in the history of ideas you must have had your head up your arse since birth.

The problem is, those that you are rallying against don't care about what would consider to be normal behaviour. They wouldn't care if they were ostracized, they don't care if they blow up women, children or babies, they don't care about anything other then their own twisted sense of right!

Simply put - they don't care!!!

Interesting reading the transcript of the Turkish premier's statement about Belgium knowing the bombers as turkey told them about it, but there was no evidence.

This is the crux of the issue. There is a great swell of public opinion , which is certainly understandable, that we should round these radicalised and potentially radicalised people up and jail them. I wonder how the semantics of that would work.? Would the British public, in our liberal society accept a Guantanamo base prison on British soil?

Let's face it as soon as the government announce tapping of the suspected terrorist phones, which may be indiscriminately in its operation and catch little Johnny ******* in his bedroom to pornhub, there is a huge outcry of " eroding our personal liberties"

These people care nothing of our personal freedoms, in fact that is an anathema to them and we are all targets. That is every single person on here, your families, your children, your friends, your neighbours.

How do we defeat it? How do you defeat an idea, a way of life, a belief that your life is not important...remember the Japanese kamikasi in the war were suicide bombers and believed it was honourable to die for the emperor. These people believe they are pleasing a deity by taking as many of us to our deaths and they will be rewarded. How do you possibly persuade these brainwashed people that this is wrong.?

In our society now, we take the risk and building bloody great walls as advocated by trump and his ilk is not the answer.
