Are Islamist flags being waved in pro-Palestine protests? Not exactly

Images of protesters brandishing black and white banners during marches across Europe in support of the Palestinian people have been circulating online. Some accounts were quick to point out that these same flags have been brandished by al Qaeda, the Taliban and the Islamic State group. It turns out that this is a religious symbol that has been appropriated by terrorist groups. At the rallies, however, it was largely members of a radical group called Hizb ut-Tahrir that carried this banner.
