These are good people,but frustrated with the systems of control in this country,who have their own agenda and wont listen to the majority population!

So they take to the streets peacefully and effectively!

Now why cant other protests be as calm as this? (They might actually accomplish something!)

One of the (badly written) comments reckons it isn't a protest:

Quote:

mate Darren...i've seen ur other videos n apprecite work....but wish u cud hav done more reserch on this one. this clearly is Shia Muslims remembering the historical death of Prophet's [PBUH] grand son "Hussain". This is done everyyear at 10th 'Moharram' which is first month on islamic calender....... pls get ur facts right.....bcuz u hav a responsiblity to convey right msg.

Response from video poster:

Hi dezialien, you are right, I do have a resposibility to convey things right, but I couldn't tell a Sunny from a Shia & I don't want to. These are devisions that take us away from the fact that we are all human beings, which is much more important than being manipulated by evil people that would take advantage & use these names to get them to fight each other. When I asked I was told it was a protest against the Iraq war & the invasion of other middle easten countries. Thanks for the interest.

Either way, I agree that peaceful protests are a far better solutions than, for example, Islamic extremism.

However, while I would not condone such behaviour, it does sometimes seem that the most peaceful protests get the least press coverage in this country. Contrast the recent (entirely peaceful) protests in London by very large numbers of disabled people against incapacity benefits with the (someone vandalistic) student protests against raised tuition fees. One was the main story in most media outlets for the best part of a week. The other barely got a mention.

Why should a peaceful protest or parade be in the news? It's how they are supposed to be. The problem is when blood and threats for killings happen.
Not just for muslims, for everyone.

Because the mdia homes in on sex and violence like a magnet, u would easily hear of a violent protest against a war, but you wont hear of a mom and pop style protest where people sell cookies raising funds for vets, thats the way our system works...
