The demonstration will begin with a moment of silence for the close to a quarter million people who have died at the hands of the Islamic State. Then they will burn flags provided to them by the art department.
The student who runs the demonstration named Ian Paris had this to say about Islam:
“I consider it a very wholesome religion. It’s not mine in particular, but I am filled with regret and sadness when people around me associate Islam with ISIS. ISIS has perverted and distorted the true values of Islam, which I consider one of the greatest atrocities they have committed.”
