German Anti-Islamisation Marches: What the Mainstream Media Doesn’t Want You to Know
LEIPZIG, Germany – Wednesday night saw a flare of violence and an accompanying police operation on a scale without precedent in recent German history. A group opposing militant Islam in Europe has called a demonstration, the city is deafened by political slogans played over loudspeakers, property is vandalised, and explosives are thrown at police in colossal running battles that involve thousands of people.
If you got your news from the mainstream media, what is increasingly known in Germany as the ‘liar press’ (Luegenpresse), the story might very well end there...
The fact that many of the supporters appear to be middle class, grandparents, or young couples doesn’t matter. As one government minister remarked, they are merely “Pinstripe Nazis”...
The fact is PEGIDA weren’t the ones throwing glass bottles and fireworks at Wednesday’s demonstration, it was the tens of thousands of left-wing counter-protesters who would stop at nothing to prevent the PEGIDA march from going ahead...
What began last year as a movement opposing German involvement in foreign wars has become a revolt against the monolithic ‘grand coalition’ of German politics, in which a rush to the centre and mandatory multiculturalism is the order of the day, and all dissent is dismissed by the ‘Luegenpresse’ as nascent fascism...
Everyone I speak to articulates the view that German foreign policy is conducted in favour of the United States of America, rather than Germany or Europa, which is ultimately to the detriment of European people...
Later in the evening I speak to a group of police officers guarding the station and without hesitation one tells me all of the explosives and bottles thrown that evening were by the left-wing counter protesters...
Wherever it goes now, in many respects PEGIDA has already served part of its purpose, in starting a debate on immigration, citizenship, and integration that has been silent for decades.
Many people in Germany are questioning the post-war consensus that unlimited immigration and multiculturalism (or ghettoisation) is inevitable and desirable for the first time in their lives, and the freedom of thought bug appears to be spreading.
A native of New Zealand, now a resident of Leipzig tells me: “I’m a former leftie, but I saw the light. I’m a human rights campaigner now, I support PEGIDA because of female genital mutilation, and the sexual abuse of young girls in Europe by radical Muslims”.
