Dresden, Germany – Thousands of people have gathered in the eastern German city of Dresden for the latest in a series of anti-Islam demonstrations that have alarmed the country’s politicians.

Police estimated that some 17,500 people attended Monday’s rally by the group calling itself Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West, or PEGIDA — organized this week as a carol-singing gathering in front of the Semperoper opera house.
That would make it the biggest gathering since the weekly protests started in October. An estimated 4,500 people demonstrated in Dresden against PEGIDA, while some 12,000 protested against it in Munich.
PEGIDA’S organizers insist they are protesting only against extremism and not against immigrants or Islam itself, but the demonstrations have received support from far-right groups, prompting concerns that anti-foreigner sentiment might be rising.

Three guesses who they will target next. Never again! Right!
These people are not anti-Islam. They are neo-Nazis.
Ironic, isn’t it? Anti Islam protests in Germany.
I have mixed feelings about this
Wait until they get into government due to their numbers, and start changing laws legally towards sharia law.
Just like 1933. When they go after the Muslims, the Jews are next. Just like in Spain
Bravo.
Why does this remind me of the Nuremburg Nazi rallies that took place in the 1930s?!
Although these Anti-Islam rallies may seem more justifiable, and I’m assuming that thousands of German Jews attend these rallies. Nevertheless, it seems to me as just anther way of Germans expressing their hate and race intolerance. Therefore I think that these Anti-Islam rallies should be denounced. Given that it comes from the same Germans that attended in the masses, the Anti-Jew rallies and parades led by Hitler in the 1930s.
Does anyone feel the same way as me, or I’m a lonewolf on this opinion??
Yup. As another commentor posted days or weeks after 9/11, the countries that worked hard to rid themselves of the dirty jew got repaid in ways they could never imagine. The harmless religious jews were replaced with religious fanatics that are bent on converting THEM.
Wow!
Doesn’t smell good
The politicians are alarmed by the demonstrations. But they don’t seem to be alarmed by the Islamofacists and their dastardly deeds. There is an Islamic strategy to penetrate and ultimately topple the West, if not by force of might then by force of numbers. Arafat y’sh called it the war of the womb. I have no problem with the Germans protesting. I have a problem with decent people in other nations – like this one – NOT protesting. I asked a Muslim I’ve known for years, “Where are the moderate Muslims?” He laughed and replied, “Don’t you know? A moderate Muslim is one who ran out of bullets!” Ha’mayvin yevin.
Im not sure it’s bad. All nations should have been protesting radical islam…
Sent post before finishing, sorry.
I think a nations should be protesting only radicals of islam. Big difference here: Jews in 1930 were not sending “lone wolves” and supporting terrorism.
I think any nation should protest about people coming to its country and not integrating into the population and culture. Jews came to Germany and other countries and started assimilating totally – that is a good case where the native population should not have had something against. Muslims come in and don’t integrate – this causes a danger for the natives, as these foreigners cause damage to the natives. I also believe that foreigners should be welcome to come into a country to obtain work temporarily. But I don’t think they should have voting rights or rights to change the rules of the incumbent natives – no Shaaria law in Europe! Sorry, but France for French, Germany for Germans, Poland for Polish, Saudi Arabia for Saudis, etc.
I am so glad they have this problem, this is nekama for what they did to us.
