Thousands of Germans have held demonstrations
in several cities across the country to express
opposition to the right-wing anti-Islam and
immigration rallies in the country.
The demonstrators took to the streets in German
cities including Berlin, Stuttgart, Cologne, Rostock,
and Dresden on Monday to slam racism and
xenophobia.
The demos came in the wake of weekly rallies
organized by the so-called Patriotic Europeans
Against the Islamization of the Occident (PEGIDA)
in the eastern city of Dresden over the last three
months.
German carmaker, Volkswagen, shut off the
spotlights on its Dresden plant in protest, and said
in a statement that the company “stands for an
open, free, and democratic society.”
In the southwestern city of Stuttgart, some 5,000
people took to streets, according to police, while
the organizers put the number at 8,000.
Mayor of Stuttgart, Fritz Kuhn, said the large
protest in his city sent out a clear message in
support of integration.
Kuhn also warned the PEGIDA supporters not to
turn into “the followers and tools of right-wing
radical neo-Nazis.”
Meanwhile in Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest
city, protesters carried banners that read “Together
for a tolerant and colorful Cologne” and “Diversity
not Uniformity.”
Many buildings in the city also switched off their
lights in protest, including Cologne Cathedral,
which is a famous German landmark.
In the capital Berlin, over 5,000 people marched
towards the Brandenburg Gate waving banners of
the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Left
Party.
During her New Year address, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel urged Germans to turn away from
PEGIDA, calling some of its members “racists” that
are full of hatred.
In December, German President Joachim Gauck
called for sympathy and openness towards
refugees in the country.

that's it brother.

but it's nut a news again

I love Germany.

And tens of thousands protested against the Pegida movement in Munich, Düsseldorf, Bonn, and many other places. There is no room for right wing nutters just as there is no room for extremists and fanatics in Germany.

I am very happy about the anti-PEGIDA protests. However, not all PEGIDA protesters are right wing. Some people are just tired and even scared of the radical Islamists roaming the country.

Imagine some hardcore Muslims formed a "Sharia police" in Germany and went on the streets to stop women, who in their view did not dress decent enough, to tell them what they should wear.

I would never march in a PEGIDA protest because I would never want to be associated with right wing extremists but I can understand some people, who are not right wing, but decided to take part in these protests because of some people who do things like forming a "Sharia police".

Anyone who comes to live in Germany enjoys religious freedom BUT HAS TO respect the Christian tradition and the values prevalent and generally accepted in this cultural setting.


I really would like to see extremists threatening the security in their host countries deported.

I understand, if the roles were reversed then I would have been just as concerned as the native Germans. I hope the Muslim community works with the government so we can flush out the extremists together.

The funny thing is that Muslims are not even allowed to impose their laws on a non Islamic country because of the absence of a Muslim leader and judicial system.

I support the deportation of these dangerous elements in our community.

Good idea, and with the rest of the citizens that are against extremists of any kind, Muslim or right wing.
