Pegida attracts thousands protesting against immigration and Islam

Thousands gather in Dresden for a Pegida demonstration and counter protest on Dec. 1. Courtesy of Flikr user Caruso Pinguin Thousands of anti-Islam and anti-immigrant protestors carrying signs with slogans like ?Our Land, Our Rights!? and ?End the Politics of Immigration,? have been marching through the streets of German cities since October to denounce Islamic violence in Europe and the presence of 10 million immigrants in Germany. These protests have raised questions about how such open antagonism and right-wing extremism can in exist in Germany 70 years after the end of World War II. The protests began as small Monday gatherings sponsored by a group called ?Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West? (Pegida). These meetings expanded to Monday night protests in Dresden and more recently to other German cities such as Leipzig, Berlin, Hannover and Munich.
