Wrong place, missed the point. In Cologne, a demonstration in front of the Ditib mosque was banned. A private citizen wanted to commemorate the Islam victims Kurt Westergaard and Samuel Paty. For the police, this is a “serious provocation”.
Apparently, the right to demonstrate is no longer worth protecting for the Cologne police. They are caving in and see the demonstration registered by a private citizen as a “serious provocation of the Islamic world”.
The organiser wanted to hold his rally parallel to the Islamic Friday prayer in front of the Ditib mosque and wanted to commemorate the French teacher Samuel Paty and the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.Apparently, the alarm bells were sounding at the police station. It was to be expected that Mohamed caricatures would also be shown, they said, justifying their ban in advance. A violent backlash was expected. This suspicion could not be refuted by the person organising the demonstration, according to public radio station Deutschlandfunk.
The private citizen wanted the event to commemorate, among others, the 48-year-old French teacher Samuel Paty, who had been beheaded in the afternoon of October 16 last year near his middle school located in a Paris suburb.
Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was also a victim of Islam believers after the publication of his legendary cartoon showing Mohammed with a bomb in his turban. Violent Muslim protests broke out worldwide over his and other “blasphemous” depictions of the prophet.
In mid-July, the Danish cartoonist Westergaard died at the age of 86. Kurt Westergaard lived under police protection for a long time. Three bodyguards accompanied him at every turn. Nevertheless, an assassin managed to break into the house of the cartoonist and former teacher of German language with an axe in 2010. Westergaard, who worked for the Danish newspaper “Jyllands-Posten” until the end, only narrowly escaped the attack. Only a few months later he decided to retire from cartooning for reasons of age.
Westergaard has never regretted his cartoons – nor has he apologised: “I did nothing wrong, I kept to what applies in Denmark. Here we have the right to vote, to express one’s opinion and to demonstrate,” he explained again and again.
