AMSTERDAM, 19/01/08 - An action group wants to demonstrate in Amsterdam next Saturday against the 'Islamisation' of Europe, as newspaper Het Parool Friday reported.

The demonstration on Dam square is being organised by Stop Islamisation of Europe, an action group set up by the Danish politician Anders Gravers and British Stephen Gash. They are expecting a turnout of some 300 people. Speeches will be given, including one by Gravers, according to Het Parool.

According to the newspaper, Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen sees no reason at present to ban or curb the demonstration. The rules of the demonstration state, said the paper, that racist slogans are forbidden, as are flags of extreme right-wing organisations.
