The incidents the article refers to happened in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg which is just one of many Bezirke in Berlin. The Bezirk Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg issued a press release to counter the press coverage it deemed inaccurate: </font><a href="http://www.berlin.de/ba-friedrichshain-kreuzberg/aktuelles/pressemitteilungen/archiv/20130903.1735.388805.html" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">http://www.berlin.de/ba-</font><font color="#0066cc" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">friedrichshain-kreuzberg/</font><font color="#0066cc" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">aktuelles/pressemitteilungen/</font><font color="#0066cc" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">archiv/20130903.1735.388805.</font><font color="#0066cc" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">html</font></a><br>
<br><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> Religious events are still allowed in the public streets of the Bezirk. There was just one incident (in 2007) where a Ramadan celebration on public grounds was not approved because the application was made on too short notice. (</font><a href="http://www.taz.de/!122872/" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><http://www.taz.de/!122872/></font></a><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">) And they want the events to be open for everyone, so you probably cannot exclude people of different faiths from the event. But I guess that is a fair demand if you want to use public ground for your event. If you want to exclude people from the event you can still do that on non-public ground.<br>
