The Politician of the Green Party in Cologne, Volker Beck, asked the islamic organisations to fight stronger against homophobia in the muslim society. The islamic organisations had in this point an educational role.
On Saturday Beck will take part on a protest against the anti-islamisation kongress of the rightist Pro-Köln organisation.
One can read in another article of the same magazine, that the protest against the anti-islamisation congress have already started today. The protesters, leftists and muslims, started by throwing with colour-bombs and stones at the members of Pro-Köln and their guests. An English citizen has been attacked by a protester.
The officials forbade a city tour by bus, saying that it was a “not acceptable provocation, through which human dignity might be offended.”
The organisation Pro-Köln is considered by politicians and media a right extremist nazi organisation and the city is full of ads “Stop the Nazikongress – stop Pro-Köln”.
