TEHRAN (FNA)- German Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to join a Muslim community rally to promote tolerance and send a rebuke to Germany's growing anti-Islam movement.
President Joachim Gauck will address the rally starting at 17:00 GMT at Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate on Tuesday, Aljazeera reported.

The event is organized 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 so-called “Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West” , or PEGIDA, and stressed on Monday that "Islam belongs to Germany".
