More than 3,000 left-wing demonstrators protesting a rally that was to be held by a right-wing group opposed to the building of a mosque clashed with German police in Cologne on Saturday.
The left-wing demonstrators hurled stones at police who were trying to ensure the safety of the right-wing group Pro-Koeln who were holding a two-day rally to protest plans to build a mosque in Cologne. The police had cordoned off a section of the city for the rally but the rally was eventually banned as authorities noted it was in the best interest of public safety.
Pro-Koeln has protested the “Islamification” of Europe and called for a return to “Western values and Christian traditions.”
Plans to build one of Europe’s largest mosques was approved by the municipal council in Cologne with a completion date scheduled some time in 2009.
