(AGI) Bonn – One hundred people were arrested and 30 policemen injured in clashes in Bonn between neo-Nazis and Salafis. The Islamists were enraged by an exhibition of cartoons depicting Mohammed. The far-right PRO-NRW organisation last Tuesday set up a provocative exhibition of images deemed blasphemous to Islam, including some cartoons by the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, which had previously set off a wave of violent protests in Muslim countries. On Saturday night, about thirty Neo-Nazis were abused by 600 mainly Muslim demonstrators who objected to the exhibition, which had been authorised by a court against the advice of the local authorities. Some Salafis broke through a police security cordon and attacked the exhibition space with sticks and stones. The incident is part of the election campaign in North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous German state, which goes to the polls on 13 May and where the PRO-NRW enjoys a small following. .
