Version 0 of 1. Defiant crowds marched in the streets of Toulouse and Rome this weekend to remember the victims of last Friday’s terror attacks in Paris. A protester in Toulouse said the demonstration “is to show that we are united against everything that tears apart society”. The demonstration in Rome featured the growing #NotInMyName campaign; which has been endorsed by thousands of Muslims worldwide. The campaign condemns any violence in the name of Islam. Mustapha Hajraoui, President of the Islamic Confederation said: “These terrorist groups are only creating hate between people and between religions. Religion has nothing to do with this. Our religion is not a religion of terrorism; it’s not a religion of war – but of peace.” This message has been most visible on social media.
Demonstrations also took place in Stockholm this weekend. |
