| Munich bans neo-Nazi rally |
| 2006-10-22 |
 Authorities in Munich banned Friday a neo-Nazi rally that had been planned for next month's 68th anniversary of the start of nationwide Nazi mob violence against Jews. A new Jewish Centre containing a synagogue, museum and kindergarten is set to be opened in Munich on November 9 in the presence of German leaders. The neo-Nazis had planned to demonstrate a few hundred metres away outside Munich's town hall. |

| #2 Dummies. If they had entitled it "Pro-Palestinian" or "Moslem Pride" day, they could have had the exact same banners and such and they could have gotten away with it. |

| #1 Whew. Maybe that'll fly in Skokie, but that's pretty raw for Munich. I bike a lot, and my rides take me through zillions of little German towns. Every one has a perfectly maintained cemetery, each of which has a section with prominent WWI memorials. The war dead Germans are allowed to lament. Gravestones from WWII, on the other hand, appear to be deliberately overgrown. Just yesterday, I picked through the brush and found several soldiers' markers; one said, "died for the Fuehrer and the Fatherland." Funny, if the Fuehrer hadn't been such a batshit micromanager, they mighta made it. |
