Aarhus: Thousands mobilise against planned anti-Islam demonstration

Via the AFP:
Several thousand people turned out for an open-air concert in Denmark's second city of Aarhus on Wednesday to protest against a far-right anti-Islam rally planned for March 31, officials said.

Aarhus city officials said they organised the concert as a way of showing the city's tolerance and because "Aarhus does not want to be associated with extremist groups" that represent "everything we want to distance ourselves from."

Around 5,000 people attended Wednesday's concert, a spokesman for the mayor's office said.
