That's a lot of people in there.

I would guess around 2-3k are muslims.

Unity against extremism is the overriding message for Sunday's rally. Among the expected attendees are the Israeli prime minister and the Palestinian president; the Ukrainian president and Russian foreign minister; and the leaders of Britain, Germany, NATO, the Arab League and African nations.

Well look at that.

It's nice to see us uniting against violent extremists of all types.

Northern Ontario,
There couldn't be too many Muslims there to-day.....

The reason I asked is because looting was prevalent in July when when they had demonstration about France's position on Gaza

Guess the whole world really is fighting extremists of all types now.

Thank Allah this happened in France.

Now we can move forward with condemning the violent nutbars of every faux-religion.
All the world is a stage... and all the bad actors are there. The sheeple have been set up, baited, and they fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Now that darkness has fallen, the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square has been illuminated in red, white and blue



Tower Bridge is another London landmark lit up in the French national colours



The fountain in Trafalgar Square and the Fourth Plinth. For 150 years, there have been arguments over what statue to put on the Fourth Plinth so, since the late Nineties, artworks have been placed onto it for several months or a couple of years at a time. In a strange coincidence, a blue cockerel - the national animal of France - has been occupying it since 2013. Created by German sculptor Katharina Fritsch, it is intended to symbolise "regeneration, awakening and strength"



March: Front row from left, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Malian President Ibrahim Keita, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Polish Prime Minister and European Council President Donald Tusk, President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, and other dignitaries, heads of government and heads of state

Are you saying to disagree with the goal or intention of this event?
