In response to protesters calling for a ‘caliphate’ in Germany last week, hundreds of people took to the streets of Hamburg to voice support for democracy. The latest rally was organized by secular Islamic groups.

The northern German city of Hamburg saw a big counter-demonstration on Saturday, as people took to the streets to protest a rally called by people with links to the Islamist scene last week.

The event last week, also in Hamburg, saw some individuals call for establishing strict Islamic law, Shariah, to replace German democracy.
