I think we'll have to agree to disagree then Doug :) I think they were and still are an excellent idea for getting messages across to children. I have been in earshot of childrens conversations involving them.

:) Madam. I give way to you and I will stand to defend you belief. I would however ask you to demonstrate what colour you would have these wrist bands and why.

Re: Wouldn't it be good if........
 

Good tactical move Doug putting me in a position like that :) may I have time to think on this question?

hmmmmmmmm

that is actually a very good idea i have to say

i was thinkin more of ribbons rather than wristbands - they're already on the bottom rung of fashion...

i actually wudnt mind takin up on this - its a good idea - with proceeds going to charities.

colouring ideally wud b green and white. as this are unofficially the colours of islam...

but how wud u go about actually gettin the things into production?

Well stated Mani. My concern was that we shouldn’t inadvertently cause offence by the misinterpretation in the use of colour. However, and I am looking to encourage constructive dialog not criticise or undermine anyone’s opinion here. Would those colours be seen as supporting Islam above integration of communities?

Re: Wouldn't it be good if........
 

Mani, there are many producers of traditional Islamic dress across the North of England. The production of Ribbon shouldn't be that difficult to achieve. But it’s how you control how profits are managed and how the message is understood by all people.

green and white wud b good
or green white red and blue - colours of islam and the uk flag... but wud they b too many?

doug - getting the right kind of press and the right image is everything but it shouldnt b too hard. i mean amir khan walkin into the reebok stadium with a uk flag and london written on it is a simple gesture yet so effective.

in ur concerns i can understand what ur saying. but if the ribbon was marketed simply as muslims against terrorism - no misinterpretation can really occur rite?

if the whole thing is done properly - with clarity - it wouldnt be too difficult to get endorsements from orgs such as red cross and the british islamic council.

if the right channels are persued in teh correct manner - and the whole thing is done in such a way where perhaps only the costs are taken out and the rest to charity - it wud be easily done. the wholesale of these items could be all undertaken over the internet.

and people and companies would be more than willing to take such a marketing ideal up to show that they are indeed for islam and against terrorism.
