\\Although Shia Muslims take part in the march each year to mark the Arbaeen, or mourning, anniversary of Imam Husain - a seventh-century leader who fought for social justice - this year organisers decided to use the event as a platform to denounce terrorism following the recent Isis attacks in Paris, Beirut and elsewhere.//

aren't Shia Muslims moderate, so unlikely to be terrorists and they do this march anyway, add a few placards and its and anti terrorism protest.

I think there were three marches in London yesterday, English Defence League, Black Lives Matter and Anti-Tory supporters.

I haven't seen anything on TV, but its in the mail.

It is an annual march.

It is/was in the news, or does the Indie not count :-)

Being a Muslim, I know why. But I am not worried.

They combined a "anti isis" rally with an annual well established march, hardly a gut reaction, spur of the moment protest was it?
