The leaflet for this event called it a Candlelight vigil for Peace. It said that "Islam is not the enemy. War is not the answer. Work for Global Peace and Justice."

The one report I did see on channel ll at about 10pm portrayed it as an event mourning the dead (which it was) but made no mention of the concerns of the participants about the coming war or the fears that permeated the demonstration about the growing intolerance towards the Muslim community
