Anti-Islam protesters march in Dresden, Germany
CNN ^ | January 12, 2015 | By Rick Noack

Anti-Islam protesters gathered Monday in the German city of Dresden, with some carrying banners with the names of those killed in the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.

It is the 12th march in Dresden called by the protest group Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West, or PEGIDA, since October.

Dresden police say the number of people attending these rallies has increased from an estimated 350 protesters on October 20 to 18,000 on January 5 and 25,000 people on Monday.

The PEGIDA movement emerged last year in the eastern German city. About 2% of Dresden's inhabitants are foreigners.

On its Facebook page, PEGIDA says citizens should "wake from their slumber" and recognize the "danger in the Islamic ideology." "Stop the radical Salfists' Islamization," it urges. "As a society, we should give people the chance to integrate, but we should not allow ourselves to be Islamized thereby losing our freedom and democracy!"

Critics, however, say that protesters are taking advantage of the attacks to attract supporters and incite hatred against refugees and foreigners.

A poll by German newspaper Der Spiegel in December found that 34% of respondents believed their country was becoming "increasingly Islamicized."

So how many more murders committed by islamists will the liberal/left accept before they cry out? Oh, wait. Never mind.

BTW can anyone image a story about a protest march in Hiroshima with no mention of the location’s significance in fairly recent history?

We need fewer marches and more killing of Muslim/Islamic terrorists.

Are you referring to the bombing of Dresden in World War II?

Frau Merkel and the rest of the German elite appeasers are probably upset there are a lot of Germans who won't become Muslim converts or captives.

Now that the French PM has gone on record as being at war with the Islamists, what are the French going to do? Will they close the mosques, deport Imams, refuse to admit French citizens gone on Jihad abroad, deport naturalized Muslim Jihadists, cutoff all forms of taxpayer funding for Muslim immigrants? Or, will France revert to its old appeasement multiculturalism ways of doing things.

Boy if ever there were a time for the Krauts to have legitimate reason to put the jackboots on and start marching again this it. ‘’Islam Raus!!’’.

Hmmm. Where have I seen a 'Deutschland erwache' poster before?

I do remember, however that these good folks of Dresden weakened the communist government with mass marches.

The marches will continue until a new leader rises up! lets hope its a good guy and not a nut case. Islam is doomed if Europe unites against them. It will just take a few outrages, a few murders and rapes and the fire will burn them out like the cancer they are. When the population turns—no amount of PC—Muilticulturalism will stop them—Look what happened in Egypt to the Moslem Brotherhood?
