Strongly backed by the Catholic hierarchy, lay activists have
mobilized a hybrid coalition of church-going families, political
conservatives, Muslims, evangelicals and even homosexuals opposed to
gay marriage for the show of force.
So many are expected to converge on Paris from around France that
police had organizers split it into three separate columns starting

Conscience and Endless War - The Huffington Post

"We must face the absurdity of our militarism. In order to confront
the so-called "asymmetric" threat of "terrorism" we support a war
machine equal to the total military assets of the rest of the world.
Who then is the enemy? Is it not the whole world? And can we ever
protect ourselves in all the ways we are vulnerable? Can we protect
every bus, train, plane, theater, mall, stadium, reservoir or nuclear
power plant, or secure ourselves from every biological, radiological
or cyber threat, while we rain terror from the skies in so many
corners of the world? Why do we spend trillions of dollars to drive
Iraqis, Afghans, Yemenis and Pakistanis into the arms of al Qaeda?"
