The anti-radical Islam group Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (PEGIDA) stages a protest every Monday in its native Dresden, Germany. On January 12, however, the group convened its largest rally yet, with 25,000 participants–significantly more due to last week’s terrorist attack in Paris, France. Attendees at the rally posted pictures and videos on social media.

Angela Merkel needs to learn the simple saying of H.L. Mencken: “When man ‘A’ wishes to help man ‘B’ by taking away from man ‘C’, then man ‘A’ is a S.O.B.”

Merkel wishes to help the downtrodden masses of dictatorial Muslim regimes, who were raised under the brutality of Islam and know of no other way, nor wish to learn of any other way; and Merkel wishes to do this at a terrible cost to Germany and the German people. Therefore, Merkel is a S.O.B.

The rallies in Paris were silly, especially because the people who created the problem were at the center of them.

The whole purpose was to calm things down so they could get back to "Business as Usual" quickly, and try to shut out the rising tide of the Right in Europe.

All that is needed is a LEADER—and as history tells us—one will rise up. One man to tell the truth, one man to show the way, one leader to return Europe to Greatness. I only hope he will not be another Hitler—maybe a Musolini or a Franco—or even an Evita Peron? (or a Joan of Arc). In the words of Urban II “God wills it!”

Good leaders are always looking over their shoulder to see whether or not their "followers" are still back there.

Merkel better pay attention to this.

The "rising tide" to which you refer cannot be shut out. Continued violence, instigated by islam, will ensure that. islam, like the proverbial leopard, cannot change its spots.

I agree, but the powers-that-be will pull out all the stops to stop it from happening.

Does the article mention the counter protests that easily dwarfed the anti-immigrant protestors?

The establishment media whole-heartedly pimped the counter-protests.
http://www.dw.de/dresden-marchers-to-conquer-xenophobia-with-lovestorm/a-18183847

Some quotes:
“...a new social media campaign launched using the hashtag lovestorm.

“The wall of ‘friendship without borders’ is to show that whoever comes to Germany is very welcome,” campaign leader Christoph Schott told DW...
“Everyone laughs in the same language,” said one banner ...
he supports some of the issues raised by PEGIDA, which has railed against Islam and asylum-seekers as well politicians and the media, he has a problem with the fact that the group is not clear about “the difference between Muslims and Islamists.” “

What idiots.
