At least 13 non-governmental organizations of Muslim and ethnic-Turkish immigrants in Germany announced Thursday their joint decision to protest against the right-wing populist PEGIDA movement.
"We are calling on all citizens to join demonstration in Cologne on Jan. 5 and take a stance against racism, xenophobia, hatred against foreigners and hostility against Islam," the organizations said in a joint statement.
"We will support all democratic initiatives and allies that oppose PEGIDA and other groups inspired by it," the statement added.
