Cologne cathedral to switch off lights in protest at anti-Muslim march [View all]

Reuters in Cologne

Cologne Cathedral, one of Germany’s most famous landmarks, will be plunged into darkness on Monday evening in protest at a march by a grassroots anti-Muslim movement through the western German city.

The rise of Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West (Pegida) has shaken the political establishment, prompting the chancellor, Angela Merkel, to warn in her new year address that its leaders were racists full of hatred and citizens should beware being used.

Good for them. I remember when I first saw the Cathedral, the building of which began in 1248. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #1
