Thousands stage anti-Islam protest in Germany

The Associated PressDecember 22, 2014

DRESDEN, GERMANY — Thousands of people have gathered in the eastern German city of Dresden for the latest in a series of anti-Islam demonstrations that have alarmed the country’s politicians.

Police estimated that some 17,500 people attended Monday’s rally by the group calling itself Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West, or PEGIDA — organized this week as a carol-singing gathering in front of the Semperoper opera house.

That would make it the biggest gathering since the weekly protests started in October. An estimated 4,500 people demonstrated in Dresden against PEGIDA, while some 12,000 protested against it in Munich.

  1. Nice report. We’re featuring this, and hat tipping you, Vlad and Blazing Cat over at Libertarian Republican this morning.

    But a complaint. Not a one of you guys had the gumption to find out who that super hot German babe narrating the news is? Her name?? It’s hard to pay attention to the meat of the report, with her narrating. She’s quite the distraction.
