More than 10 anti-Islamic groups, led by the English Defence League, are planning to rally in Aarhus, Denmark on 31 March 2012.

The English newspaper, The Telegraph, describes in a website article that "Denmark is a natural choice for the [English Defence League] to launch its first European march. The Danish People's Party is one of the most electorally successful anti-immigrant parties in Europe, winning 12.3 per cent in elections last September. The Danish Defence League has grown rapidly since its founding a year ago, with chapters already set up in more than 10 Danish cities".
