"Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to join a Muslim community rally to promote tolerance, condemn the attacks in Paris and send a rebuke to Germany's growing anti-Islam movement.
President Joachim Gauck will address the vigil starting at 17:00 GMT at Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate on Tuesday, organised by the Central Council of Muslims in Germany under the banner "Let's be there for each other. Terror: not in our name!"
Merkel, to be joined by most of her cabinet at the event, has spoken out against the right-wing populist "Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident", or PEGIDA, and stressed on Monday that "Islam belongs to Germany"
. This is the kind of thing that needs to be done worldwide.
