Re: Wouldn't it be good if........

I'm another devil's advocate, like A-B. Is there any form of market research that we could do, even standing in Accy with a clipboard, asking people if they would wear such a wristband/ribbon? It would be a great shame if the whole scheme were publicised and funded, ribbons etc made, and then too few people would take them up. I too have my doubts as to whether many people would wear them, particularly if it attracted unpleasantness from their neighbours, as it did in Northern Ireland. There are sections of the Muslim community who do feel some degree of support for the bombers - sad and misguided, but unfortunately true. Others might be unwilling to be seen to go against their co-religionists.

All that said, I wish the project the very best of luck and hope it does work. All right-thinking people, of whatever religion or colour, will condemn what was done, and should not be afraid to show it.
