Brussels Mayor Freddy Thielemans, who toasted the death of Pope John Paul II with the call, “Champagne for everyone!” has banned the Stop the Islamicisation of Europe (SIOE) demonstration, planned for September 11, but authorized the anti-American United for Truth (UFT) rally for September 9.

The SIOE protest was to take place in front of the august and new age European parliament buildings.
