First Ever Worldwide Candlelight Vigil


I am cross posting this for someone from a non-pet-related forum. Please pass the message on to as many people as possible.

"Friday August 26th 2011 at 7pm your time I would like to host the first ever Worldwide Candlelight Vigil honoring all those whose lives have been lost to Honor Killings and Universally showing our disapproval of this practice.

All you have to do is stand outside your home with a lit candle at 7pm, for whatever length of time you see fit, to Honor the lives of those who have died. It is of the utmost importance that this demonstration remain peaceful and that we recognize we are uniting against the practice of Honor Killing NOT against the faith of Islam. That the message we are sending is one of peace and love; designed to defended the rights of Muslims to live in peace. That they too may feel welcome to stand with us.

Thank you and Bless you"

Nice idea I guess, but can't see it will make an iota of difference. If I did that my neighbours would think I had lost the plot!

Re: First Ever Worldwide Candlelight Vigil


I miss it dreadfully every day, Elaine; didn't want to quit, but because my breathing was getting so bad I had to. Only difference I notice is breathing has stabilized, no worse; am off oxygen completely. Lynz, I know it's politically incorrect but I quit because I had to, not because I wanted to! But thanks fore your comment.
