Most of us seem to be able to understand your motives Margaret and I don't think you could have explained it any better. It's not a case of trying to change the minds of those who do evil but of giving voice to those who do not support such evil who may otherwise be assumed to be in favour of something they actually deplore.

If we are hoping for all creeds to wear them and support each other then I think it would possibly be unwise to say "Not in the name of Allah" because there are those who do not worship Allah who may then feel the band/ribbon is not for them.
