Actually, in the German version in Der Spiegel, the Dresden Police forbid (banned) the rally due to threats from the (non)Islamic State.
They make the organizers look like wusses. Pegida already stands up to the rent-a-mob anti-fascist fascist thugs.
Look, Men of the West, we can't allow terrorists to determine what we do. Just because they've talked about attacking Pegida, doesn't mean, Pegida should stand down. We can't allow this.
So, it was the German Polizei who declared the PEGIDA march to be “verboten” & “untersagt”, not the march organizers caving in to Koranimals’ threats.
Frau Merkel needs to start wearing that burka - soon!
The Polizei were only following her orders, bestimmt!
