I find it amusing that most of these leftists who stick up for the islamists are the same people who are big on promoting women's and gay rights. How will the women's and gay rights movements fare under future islamic rule in Europe?

Daniel, Bendigo, Australia

THe very fact that there are 3 million muslims in Germany justifies the debate. How many muslim countries would tolerate an influx of 3 million Christians, jews or Hindus into their countries.......Thats right, NONE.

Sara, England, UK

People here state that there is no room for extremists, but wasnt that the basis for this anti-Islamic debate? If persecuting women or other religions often bgy death not extremist then what is? We now prefer mob rule to decide on what we now debate! Europe is finished.

matt, Norwich, UK

I agree with Sara from Germany. Our future is now to be governed by the arrogant who want to stifle debate and impose their will through violence. Islam will certainly fit in well with this new model.

Salvatore, Milano, Italy

People here throw the word fascist around witohut knowing what they are saying. The only modern fascism in the world today is Islam. Secondly, Hitler was a socialist and Musolini a communist. Therefore, the real fascists are the communists, who happened to be those throwing stones!

Elisa, Deal, UK

by the way: The mayor Schramma used nazi-words like "verfault" ("rotten") against his political opponents. This is the future of our political- culture? Stones and violence instead of discussion and GG (Constitutional Rights)? From now on the mob is to decide who has has a right to speak.

Sara W., Cologne, Germany

A desaster for democracy! German authorities could not guarantee the fundamental rights like freedom of speech.Their mission is to protect minority, in this case the rights of a legally elected cologne party. But what happened?"antifa" were hunting man.Police was too weak to handle youngsters.

Sara W., Cologne, Germany

Were there any Muslim protesters present?

Richard B, London, England

G Richards, London - U mention fasting the month. Fasting reminds those who with plenty what it is like to be poor and have to go without meal(s).

As a Muslim I am gratified by the enlightened attitudes shown herein. Equally I utterly deplore those that carry out such atrocities as 9/11 & 7/7.

Mohammed Khan, Bradford, UK

The Nazis used violent tactics like these to shut down debate too.
If a citizen has worries about Islamification, how do they democratically and peacefully voice them?

Roger, Norwich,

"This was a truly fantastic win for the voice of good, decency and respect." Voice of good, ? A mob hurling stones bricks and paint bombs, who seem to think that the correct manner to get thier point accross is to resort to violence. what ever happened to open debate?A sad day for true democracy

Carl Blackwell, chelmsford, england

John Baker says: "No one would willingly support fascism. ". If only that were true!

Andrew Pearson, Belfast, N.I.

I am a young, well-educated, left-leaning, travelled, open-minded adult and I believe Islam is a grave threat to our society.

There is a huge, unseen, Islamic element in this country whose ultimate aim is to completely Islamicise it.

As such, I will soon do the unthinkable...vote Conservative.

Owen, Wigan, UK

TO sarah rosenberg: LEAD THE WAY. Wear your veil. This is the fasting month, so start fasting. Stay at home and do not educate yourself. When I see that you are actions befit your words, only then will I take notice of them.

G Richards, London,

Good to hear that despite all the racist propaganda that we are bombarded with on a daily basis, the majority refuse to swallow it and will rush to the defence of Muslims at the drop of a hat. The BNP and the racist establishment should take serious note of this.

Mary Allen, London, UK

Excellent news. From my experience, most people vote for parties like the BNP out of ignorance and as a 'protest vote' unaware of what they truly stand for. No one would willingly support fascism.

John Baker, London, UK

Good to see that this article takes a clear stand against the far right. I have to admit being worried about the media's relationship with the far right these days, as the BNP is increasingly painted as some sort of acceptable party (especially by the BBC).

Marie Collins, Middlesex, UK

I agree with Keith. One day all the euro's will pray for the brave souls to be somewhere around in the future that wanted to stop our friends from the rel. of peace from growing. Too bad for old Europe. See ya.

Joe, St. Paul, MN , USA

Amusing thing is that the Far Right Activists were merely exercising their right to Demonstrate (peacefully!) and their right to their own opinions.
funny how everybody pats on the back 40000 screaming nutters as a democratic "force". Despite damage and violence to Police & innocent property!

Stuart Frize, Glasgow, Scotland

Shame that people such as keith feel muslims mistreat these groups, wer here his protest proves that there are extremists in every groups. well done to the democrats and germans. its time we integrate and produce peace instaed of segregating muslims and creating wars

sarah rosenberg, nottingham,

Keith Bentham, Wigan, UK, the current German Muslims population is 3.7% and thus it brings into question your "30% of Germany would be Muslim in 18 Years"!!!!!

You're not a member of the BNP or alike?

Mohammed Khan, Bradford, UK

This was a truly fantastic win for the voice of good, decency and respect. Christian and Muslim coming together to say No to extremism - NO not in our lands. Im proud of each and every one of those brave Germans that came out to make a stand. It shows that we are all, differences aside -one.

Wasim, Gla, Scotland

Good job Germany, there is no place for extremists in Europe. no matter what religion u r.
peace to all.

saeed_burco, London,

Well done proud of Germen people stood for what you believed in truly proud today Christians and Muslim's and other faith's standing together.

Tim, London, United Kingdom

The German government recently affirmed 30% of Germany would be Muslim in 18 years. I'm sure that the future Islamic Germany will treat anti-fascists, Jews, women and homosexuals far worse than any modern day pseudo nationalists would.

keith bentham, Wigan, uk

Today I am proud to be a European.
