After all, they've managed to march in full throes waving placards before, when the agenda suited them. But I suppose that's about as likely to happen as would have been the case of Maggie Thatcher, suddenly deciding on taking a morning stroll down Ashington High Street. Absolute zero.
Wouldn't organising a 'Muslim' march against ISIS, (such as the one in Edgware Road, London last year - http://www.londonlovesbusiness.com/business-news/london-news/british-muslims-stage-anti-isis-protest... ) demonstrate their separateness rather than being part of society in general.
Far better, in my opinion, to see Muslims taking part in commemoration and/or protest rallies alongside the general population.
As for being 'fellow countrymen' !
