Des imams en marche contre la terreur - 01/07/2017 - ladepeche.fr

Brief summary:

The march will be led by the imam of the Drancy mosque, Hassen Chalghoumi, well known for his anti-Islamist and progressive positions. "When our religion is taken hostage, we have to react," says Hassen Chalgoumi, knowing that this initiative will not necessarily be to the taste of all Muslims. Other participants include Imams from France but also from Germany, Tunisia, or Belgium.

The journey begins in Paris, then by bus to Berlin for a prayer on 9 July at the scene of the Christmas market massacre of December 2016. On to Brussels on 10 July to outside of the Metro station that was bombed, then to Saint-Étienne du Rouvray where the priest Jacques Hamel was murdered. On July 11 it is scheduled to reach the kosher Hyper market in Paris where hostages were taken (4 being killed) in the immediate wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack, and then continue to the Bataclan. On 12 July it will continue to the Jewish Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse where in September 2012 a gunman killed 4 people, three of them children, and will reach Nice on 13 July, congregating on the Promenade des Anglais, the site of the attack by truck.

It will conclude in Paris on July 14th (Bastille Day)..

Great! Always a good thing to demonstrate against terrorist scum.

You are wrong, people like Geert Wilders will say they are just casing the joint so that the joint so that they can tell their Muslim terrorist buddies how and where they can kill the most people, don't you know that?

And yes, I am going after Geert Wilders after seeing one of his deceitful campaign adds today in which he made so many fear messages (based on nothing) that it is ludicrous. Hate trumps facts when it comes to Geert Wilders and his supporters.

Well, Wilders (may over-dyeing cause his hair to fall out) is not really what this here is about.

I know, but Wilders would never admit that Muslims do anything good/against terrorism.

I bet money Fox News will not cover the story, and it isn't going to change the average Trump supporter's view on issues like the travel ban or a registry. If anybody supported those things before, they will continue to support into the future.

Indeed.

Massive security measures planned to be undertaken by local national forces, hopefully they'll be successful.

We live in crazy times. I hope they get to march peacefully.

Living in Europe as I do, I don't give a turd over any of that in face of this venture.
 
Edit/update:

Pertinent fact I omitted (and should have added from the start) is that Jewish writer Marek Halter is one of the chief initiators of this march.

That is all some people need to hear.

Yes, so so I.

Fervently.

I also hope they are given the chance to march peacefully and not get attacked by either side (because I would not put it beyond either the terrorists or the extreme anti-Muslims to attack these imams)
 
The whole trip was fortunately peaceful and ended in Paris on Friday (French National Holiday = Bastille Day) where they also attended the parade of honour on the Champs Elysees.
