What does any march achieve? It raises awareness, people find common ground, a large group of people saying the same thing sends a message - that terrorism isn't working. It's no different than a petition or a Facebook campaign to show solidarity. I don't recall you EVER asking the question of what the point of a march is, before.
I'll ask you directly - were you as dismissive about when the mothers in N.Ireland marched against terrorism? Were you there ready to belittle their efforts and call them all sorts of names?
I'm asking the question because a march against extremism (to me at least) doesn't have a point, because there is absolutely no chance the people they are marching against, or trying to influence, will be in the slightest bit influenced. And do we really need awareness of terrorism ? It gets a fair bit of coverage, I think everyone is fully aware of the dangers of extremism. I don't need to see people out on the streets with billboards to reinforce that.
The mothers in N Ireland were marching in the hope that they would have their voices heard to bring an end to sectarian violence. The troubles in Northern Ireland involved politicians and paramilitary groups who could be engaged with and appealed with - that is not the case with ISIS or the extremist threat we face today, its very different. Also,they were were not affiliating themselves with football clubs to my knowledge, or their firms, so there was a fundamental difference.
Anyway, you've clearly got your view and I have mine. I'm not going to lose any sleep over the FLA and their marches. I just wondered what the point of it all was, what it aimed to achieve, and I'm still none the wiser so maybe there's something wrong with me.
