MUSLIMS MARCH AGAINST TERRORISM IN ‘NOT WITH US’ DEMONSTRATION IN COLOGNE, GERMANY

Muslim Leaders March In Solidarity Against Terrorism

Thousands of Muslims, their neighbors and friends, will march against terrorism in the German city of Cologne on Saturday. Around 10,000 people are expected to gather in the German city under the slogan “Not With Us” for the Ramadan peace march, first announced on June 7.


The goal is to show solidarity with victims of terror all over the world, to promote peace, freedom and democracy and to repudiate extremists who commit acts of terror in the name of Islam.




“A peace march in Ramadan, initiated by Muslims, supported by different actors in society, would send a symbolic signal,” the march organizers, Islamic scholar Lamya Kaddor and Muslim peace activist Tarek Mohamad, wrote in their call to action.


“We are demonstrating against extremism, terrorism, war and dictatorship. We stand for pluralism within and outside of religion, against a split of our diverse society in ‘us’ and ‘them,’” they added.

The march announcement quickly received widespread support from activists, politicians and members of the public. German Chancellor Angela Merkel added her voice in support of the initiative in a statement shared on Twitter by government spokesperson Steffen Seibert .


But Germany’s largest Islamic organization, the Turkish Ditib union, which organized Germany’s first Muslim anti-terror march in November 2004, attended by around 25,000 people, has refused to take part in the march saying it stigmatizes Muslims as being solely responsible for terrorism.


“Calls for ‘Muslim’ anti-terror demos fall too short, stigmatize Muslims, and constrict international terrorism to being just among them, and within their communities and mosques,” Ditib wrote in a statement to justify the much-criticized decision.


“We welcome public action, but reject the way in which this march has been organized,” Ditib said.


The association also rebuked the march organizers for choosing a time during the fasting period of Ramadan. Instead of marching, Ditib will hold Friday prayers for peace in its nationwide mosques.


Ditib has time to review its position, as the march organizers are keeping the invitation open to everyone, including their critics. “Even if you're not happy with details of #notwithus that is no reason not to come. You can't always make everyone happy,” they wrote in a Tweet on Friday.

That's good. Let's just hope the media reports on it.

A Muslim "peace march" against terrorism has been held in the German city of Cologne but has drawn fewer participants than organizers had hoped for.


The dpa news agency reported that a few hundred people gathered for the demonstration Saturday, with placards such as "Together against terror" and "Hatred makes the earth hell," and the crowd later grew to over 1,000.


The organizers had expected several thousand protesters.


The country's biggest Islamic association had refused to take part in the march. The Turkish-Islamic Union argued it would send the wrong signal by suggesting that international terrorism is mainly a Muslim problem. It also said Muslims observing the Ramadan fast couldn't be expected to march for hours in summer temperatures.


That stance drew criticism from the government, which welcomed the march.

I really doubt that the people being called to stage the protest even know what terrorism means?









Their predecessors, the satanic dragon (winged, legged serpent) worshipping templars used to call us the "perfidious enemy" - and the term perfidious described the templars more than anyone else alive on such a scale and the falsehood of their current cross-bearing, God hating, atheist followers is unsurprising

It is also obvious to those who care to research - what is actually happening.
The improvised munitions handbook is a manual put out by the secularist American government, a very interesting read for those who like making things, and I'm sure after flicking through it, you will agree that it is quite interesting.

The TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook is a United States Army technical manual intended for the United States Special Forces describing manufacture of improvised weapons and explosives from readily available materials, from junk piles, common household chemicals and supplies purchased from regular stores. It was first published in 1969 by the Department of the Army.

The Improvised Munitions Handbook is one of the best[citation needed] references on how to manufacture improvised explosive devices, and some of the constructions described have been used against U.S. troops themselves.

Among the weapons described are the hand grenade in a can trap that was used against U.S. troops in Vietnam, and the water in a bucket timer that is used by Afghan guerrillas to launch rockets against U.S. military bases. Also worth noting is the altimeter switch used to ignite a bomb on an aircraft at approximately 5000 ft.

Chapters cover the manufacture of explosives and propellants, mines, grenades, small arms weapons, ammunition, mortars, rockets, incendiary weapons, fuses, detonators.

Popular culture.

In the movie Toy Story a document labeled TM 31-210 is clearly visible in Sid's room. Early releases of the movie correctly title the Army manual, in later releases the manual title is "Improvised Interrogation Handbook.
