Anti-Islam movement stages protests across Europe

DRESDEN, Germany – Germany’s anti-Islam PEGIDA movement staged rallies in several cities across Europe on Saturday to protest against the arrival of hundreds of thousands of migrants from the Middle East and Africa.

The movement, whose name stands for Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West, originated in the eastern German city of Dresden in 2014, with supporters seizing on a surge in asylum seekers to warn that Germany risks being overrun by Muslims.

After almost fizzling out early last year, the movement has regained momentum amid deepening public unease over whether Germany can cope with the 1.1 million migrants who arrived in the country during 2015.

Being opposed to sharia law is not anti-Islam.

So how many of these people are actually protesting the religion of Islam itself versus bad immigration polices and the fact that sharia is growing in Western Europe?
