[OccupyComms] [#globalNOISE] Fwd: 5th Nov white symbol suggestion

[Mark Barrett]

Hello Orsan

I do like the idea of plain flags / armbands / other of all the different
colours  although i think it would be excellent if white could be
highlighted...

Have a good day all and let's hope  the global movement can get even
further together soon

In Islam there is the prophecy of 'the one shout' for those who haven't
heard of it before. it is also known as the 'day of assembly'

Cheers

Mark
