Anti-Islam, Anti-fascist groups clash at Calgary city hall


With both saying they want the right to free speech, two groups with opposing views rallied outside Calgary's city hall on Saturday. On one side were supporters of a group called the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam, which is against M-103, a non-binding motion condemning Islamophobia and religious discrimination passed in the House of Commons earlier this year. Opposing the coalition was a smaller but vocal group called Calgary Anti-Fascist Action. Among them, a woman held a sign saying her grandfather fought against Nazis and now she feels she's doing the same. The two groups shouted insults back and forth but about two dozen police officers kept things from escalating into physical confrontations.
