Muslims in Britain brandished "NOT IN MY NAME" signs and made demonstrations after the successive attacks in England (Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge, Market Borough) More soiled and mourning, after the barbaric acts perpetrated after ISIS terrorists (DAESH-ISIS) who kill in the name of Islam.
More than five hundred British imams refused to bury them according to the Muslim ritual. They are both a strong and symbolic place for the rejection of these terrorists, in the barbarous methods of which everyone, and creates the confusion in the minds of the people vis-à-vis Islam. These criminals wield white weapons or firearms, in the name of Islam, who reject them through the Muslim community irritated by this bellicose posture and at the antipode of a church, soothes and finds itself also the object of amalgams. The French religious authorities have thus decided to carry out this march in tribute to the victims of the attacks which have done so many human damage since the attack of Charlie in January 2015 and the escalation that followed, first in France then in Belgium , Germany. This collective hardship affects all citizens of these European countries, whatever their religion or belief. Their common thread is Peace and Living Together.

In March a similar attack took place just round the corner on Westminster Bridge. Two weeks ago the Manchester Arena was attacked by a suicide bomber, and now London has been struck once more. Whereas May, Birtish Ppm said, after the London Bridge attack few days ago. “We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are.

A PROJECT WELL PREPARED FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR BY MAREK HALTER AND IMAM HASSEN CHALHGOUMI
QUESTION TO MAREK HALTER AND IMAM CHALGHOUMI :
Why and how did you set up with this idea of a European march against terrorism and for Peace ?
ANSWER MAREK HALTER AND IMAM CHALGHOUMI :
The idea is very strong, it has been for a year that we work on this idea with my friend Imam Hassen Chalghoumi. Since what has happened in London, everyone understands the urgency that everybody expects, namely, to calm the minds, from all sides. Now the whole world wants the reaction of Muslims and religious authorities all the churches in Germany, here in France and all the religions in France are mobilized and the Pakistani community has promised to bring in march, 20 000 Pakistanis who will be present on our side.
If one day there are a few hundred, we may be thousands, for we will succeed in doing it, for peace. I believe a lot in these symbolic events that mobilize the media and people want us to love them. We want to let people see Muslims and imams and priests and rabbis, pray together, and they will see that they are all brothers. In Belgium they are more than receptive, Charles Michels has promised to be the. All of Europe will be there, in place of the Bourse, and symbolically in Nice to mark the killing of Nice, July 14 last year.
We decided to accompany our President, on the first anniversary of the killing in Nice, the Chief of the President's cabinet wanted us to go to Nice after this European march. The press will welcome us down there because it will be the same to commemorate the attack of Nice, on this disastrous day of July 14, day of the national holiday in France, "explained Marek Halter "I am shocked, and saddened, I have no words deep enough to express my sadness at this umpteenth terrorist act. Thought and solidarity with our English friends who are again struck by the barbarians. Tribute to all those innocent murderers and solidarity with families. The fight must continue unremittingly against the unnameable, "added Imam Hassen Chalghoumi.
