Thousands protest anti-Islamic rallies in German city

BERLIN (AP) — Tens of thousands of people are protesting in the eastern German city of Dresden against racism and for an open society.

The protests Saturday came in reaction to weekly anti-Islamic demonstrations that have been taking place for months in Dresden.

The weekly rallies are organized by a group calling itself Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West, or Pegida. Those rallies have been attended by up to 18,000 people, but Saturday's counter protests mobilized more than twice the crowds — around 35,000 protesters.

Police and city officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment, but German news agency dpa reported Dresden mayor Helma Orosz telling protesters that their city "won't be split apart by hatred."

Chancellor Angela Merkel had previously called on Germans not to participate in Pegida rallies.

Why don't the Muslims get out and protest against thier fellow muslims who are carrying out these attacks. I am sure if they did it would go a long way to healing the divide b/w islam and the rest.

Makes me wonder how many of the "anti protest" protesters are Muslim.

Germany is screwed as are some other countries in Europe.

[Credo]

I hope this isn't going to be a case of divide and conquer, where all the gentiles fight among themselves while Islam slowly gains control.

I have absolutely nothing against Islam, but they do need to learn to live their own life and stop living everyone else's life.

I don't know about their God, but my God is probably strong enough to take care of himself.

Just make sure we don't play the Terrorists game, they want us to hate the Muslims, and get more people on their side... Don't get sucked in.

Paris has hundreds of "no go zones" , Sweden has 73 no go zones, where firefighters are attacked if they enter. Multi culturism has resulted in some of these countries in Europe losing control within their borders. Solution ( the only solution) : Starting with the no go zones the army and security services in various countries round these people up, revoke their passports and put them on a boat back to country of origin.

There are many muslim leaders (and people) who speak out against terrorism. The trouble is that it seems the West just doesn't (want to) report on or hear them.

The article below was written before the Paris tragedy....there are, no doubt many more recent expressions of regret and outrage.

OK, now bring on the usual "apologist" slurs..

Maybe some posters would also like to suggest "relocation" to Auschitz, Belsen, et al..... This is just the sort of knee-jerk, red-neck reaction that terrorists hope to achieve. Well done. Sterling work.

And buried in the article you link to is this quote :

French Council of the Muslim Faith head Dalil Boubakeur, who attended the ceremony, affirmed that the vast majority of French Muslims are not anti-Semitic. How could they be, he asked, when they themselves are battling racism?

This is equivocation and shifting responsibility and somewhere, some way, in most of their statements, the "condemners" usually do this.

[Anthony5]

I hope a lot of the protesters carry a "Je Suis Charlie" sign.

There is a danger of history repeating itself. The empires of Byzantium and Persia would both have probably repulsed the Moorish invaders had they not severely weakened each other. This is why I. Find it depressing just how much effort the PC liberals put into defaming any protest against militant Islam. There is hope though as some are starting to break ranks, as Bill Maher demonstrated.

Patently dishonest dissembling here, note how Antisemitism was only mentioned in order for the Muslim community to ride piggyback and use the victim card, which is indeed ironic considering the endless examples of their own AntiSemitism.

the anti-Islam protests in Germany were going on before the attacks happened, nothing to do with the attacks in Paris.

It's everything to do with the attacks in Paris, or the ones in London, Madrid, Glasgow, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Toulouse, Montauban, Brussels, Dijon, Nantes.

And they're just the ones in Western Europe.

[sweatalot]

There are some things that should not be tolerated. They are violence, hatred and intolerance.

It is coming from people who preach and practice this in the name of Islam.

This is what should be eradicated. Protests again this is important.

It should not be confused with the Islam religion - except the scritptures of Islam are clearly preaching violence, hatred and intolerance and the representatives don't change it.

[EyesWideOpen]

I almost feel sorry for the European countries that allowed Muslim immigration

into their countries. The fox has been invited into the henhouse.....

They have in essence sealed their fate by the simple difference in birth rates.

If the Muslim immigrants are having 6 children each,

and the native population is having a birth rate of 1.6, it does not take a genius

to know what the future holds. America has the same problem, as in the future

we will be a Hispanic nation. But at least the Hispanics do not want to kill the white

people, well except for the gang bangers........

I lived in Northern California for a long time. To me, it seemed like Hispanics wanted to blend it with the rest of the country and it did not take long to do so. It seems like many Muslims in Europe want just the opposite.

i never though i would say this-but German/European immigration offices can learn a lot from Thailand...

[JOC]

Even here we are being carefully politically correct.

Time to call a spade a spade!! Europe can not swallow more Muslim immigrants, if the countries want to survive as free democratic entities!!

Nothing to do with racism or bigotry, but enough is enough!!

For those immigrants already within or borders: Integrate or leave!!

no i mean if you're play by the rules you are welcome...if not you get kicked out within 7 days-no matter what!!!

Multiculturalism doesn't seem to be working out as well as Tony Blair predicted. Fine in theory, but no one seems able to make it work in practice. Human nature, religion and bloodshed keep getting in the way.

Even Angela Merkel has admitted to having some doubts, but the PC juggernaut rolls on..

[sweatalot]

islam religion is one thing

but muslim mass immigration (invasion?) in Europe has led to a situation where self defense becomes necessary. Just the political correct dogooders don't want to be aware.

[Steely Dan]

The saddest thing is that PERGIDA and their European counterparts are marching in the hope of saving their nations from ruin caused by the PC ideologues who rule us and try to dictate what we think. Here is an excellent if lengthy article describing exactly where we are at present.

I think the global travel alert has greater significance for those in the airline industry and other transport companies and probably means increased screening etc..

I think you need to wake up! Paying lip service to extremism after the fact or before the fact is just that.. lip service. Until muslims stand up and report radical clerics and their followers to the police it means nothing, less than nothing in fact. This will never happen.

[arjunadawn]

These rallies will contain people who are "anti islam" just because they are the "other;" these mixed protests always have such extremes. However, the vast majority simply oppose islam being at cultural and armed war with everyone because everyone else are the "other" to islam. In fact, Islam has a rich, highly developed ideology and blueprint which even defines the "other" and spells out what things should be done to the "other;" Shar'ia. In fact, this blueprint binds those who are not even muslim to its authority. Indeed, the entire formula for practical, orthodox Shar'ia is built solely upon the division of classes in a divine chain of being- from muslim, to muslim wife, to dhimmi (christian and jews who pay the tax- and "are made to feel subjugated and humiliated when paying the tax"), to slave, to the pagan dead. Without this formula shar'ia is fractured and impractical.

Most of these people this OP titles "anti islam" see the writing on the wall- intolerance, murder, mayhem, divine mandate, hatred, blasphemy, and every other manner of barbarism colored as demands for equality will consume their nation (immigration jihad). "Shar'ia" is objectionable because it is entirely predicated on submission!
