Idea for silent protest/solidarity for peace in middle east ..

[tlcandie]

see what you think!

Being sick and tired of all that is going on to kill/torture/silence those of arab disent and after reading, yet another, article on someone assaulting a Muslim here within our own borders, I've come up with this idea and hopefully those who are more creative than myself can expand on this and it become a movement of some kind.

What do you think about each of us wearing some form of ME attire daily?

Burquas, hejab, turban, etc....you help to decide! List your ideas and then MAYBE we could come up with a color or something that is symbolic of the dissent/protest and we all wear our varied ME attire in the SAME color!

If you were not able to wear it at work, you could take it off before you get into the office. But you could wear it while traveling to and from work, shopping, etc.

Maybe even have something printed up that you hand out if someone asks you why you are wearing the attire. You wouldn't say anything, just in silence hand them your nicely written protest.

What do you think? I know .. I'm nutz.. but damned we gotta do something that gets LOTS of attention and that is easy to do day in and day out AND so we can REALLY see how many of us out there are on our side!!!

Will make it harder for the haters to attack those of ME dissent when so many are wearing the attire.

Some ideas have already been posted in the GD forum...that link follows..
