Hundreds of Protesters at anti-Islam rally in Cologne

Hundreds of people have demonstrated in German city of Cologne protesting against an anti-Islam rally and urging support to Muslims’ rights in the country.

Two right-wing groups held the anti-Islam rally on Saturday to oppose the building of a large new mosque in the city. There were about 300 people at the right-wing rally, according to police.

Following the anti-Islam rally, about 1600 left-wingers and members of church groups, trade unions and the Green party held a demonstration to counter the rally.

Cologne Mayor Fritz Schramma said the peaceful protests showed that the city is “open and tolerant,” adding that Cologne was “committed when it comes to defending these values.”

Leftist counter-demonstrators held banners proclaiming “Democrats stand united against right-wing radicalism, racism and agitation.”

On Friday, German judges had banned plans by the rightist groups to march to the proposed site of Cologne’s grand mosque, after a similar demo sparked clashes there last September.

Over 5,000 police officers, outfitted with water cannons and riot gear, controlled the situation.

Muslim ”religion” use control, dictate family rules, uses threats against those whoe ven question their ”rulings”, similar to bolshevism.
We, European Chirstian Identity people support our Race-based religion as Nature and God. We reject the judeo-”Christian values” and any relation to the talmudic lies.
Jesus was NOT a jew and He was killed by the jews. The same stands for Him from muslims. Europe will be jude- and muslim-free!
SIEG!

Islam and the left wing are allies, or that is Muslims and left wingers see eye to eye on many things and share some of the same philosophies.
