Cologne - Far-left protesters set up the first road blocks in Cologne to prevent a scheduled far-right anti-Islam rally in the city on Saturday. Elsewhere in the city, police secured access to the site where the demonstration is planned. However, the scene was dominated by peaceful demonstrators streaming into the city in large numbers to protest against the right-wing rally.
Several hundred police forces were deployed across the city ahead of the controversial "Anti-Islam Conference" organized by a city group, Pro Cologne.
Pro Cologne which won 5 per cent of votes at the last city-council elections, has invited 1,000 to 1,500 rightists from all over Europe to join it Saturday at a protest against building a grand mosque.
The far-right rally plans have upset the Islamic world. The government of Iran appealed to Germany to prohibit the demonstration, but Berlin says it has no powers to do this.
However, the German Interior Ministry spoke out against the rally, saying the planned gathering of "populists and extremists harms the co-existence that the city and Muslim citizens have striven for."
Nice - must we stand aside and let this happen - or do we force out political leaders to do a job that we voted them into office to do - PROTECT OUT WAY OF LIFE!

I normally think that leftists push their beliefs on others because they are simply evil people. However, this situation shows that they can be quite stupid now and then. Most of the left would be the first to be wiped out in any Islamic society.
God bless those far right people, then.
why are leftists defending islamists
Because if they talk nice to them, they won't hurt us.
It is a naive position to take but since when has the left made any sense.

why are leftists defending islamists
I say we let Europe go Muslim, and working on converting China to Christianity.
Note the deep and abiding loving relationship between the left and the jihadis. Both want to destroy Western Civilization.
This is why Europe is doomed. Anyone who wants to stand up to jihad is deemed “far-right”. (I don’t know how many people actually intending to participate in this anti-jihad event are in fact anything more than what we here at FR would consider conservatives but I doubt it is very many overall.) So the hardcore leftists come out in force, break the law, start a riot, and get the anti-jihad event cancelled. Then the (center-left) politicians come out and blame the anti-jihadists for everything that the leftists did, so the jihadis win. Europe is doomed.
