This helpful piece cuts through the media lies about the anti-Islamization movement in Germany. “Explaining Pegida to the World,” by Iuvenal, PI News, January 8, 2015: Before coming to the point I have to make sure that you will not take me for a part of Pegida or authorized by their leaders. I am not. […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 5 Reasons Why Angela Merkel Is Wrong to Oppose Germany’s Anti-Islamization Rallies
In PJ Media I discuss yet another potentially disastrous misstep by another Western leader: After tens of thousands of Germans participated in rallies organized by Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (PEGIDA), German Chancellor Angela Merkel denounced them, claiming that when they chanted “We are the people,” they really meant, “You don’t belong […]
Germany: Cologne Cathedral to go dark to protest anti-Islamization marches
Has Norbert Feldhoff ever stopped to consider what might happen if he is wrong? What if there really is a problem of Islamization? Has he considered how dark Cologne Cathedral might be if Germany were one day to impose Islamic law? Is he aware that Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches and the […]
Germany: Journalist played “racist” to smear anti-Islamization movement
The Pegida movement calls the media “Lügepresse” (lying press), because it does not depict the consequences and dangers of Islamic mass immigration properly. The below incident, in which an undercover journalist is interviewed by other journalists and uses the interview to depict the Pegida movement as half-racist, confirms Pegida’s concern about the media’s honesty. The […]
Survey finds one in three Germans supports anti-Islamization PEGIDA marches
It is extremely foolish and short-sighted of Angela Merkel to dismiss this movement as “racist” and “xenophobic.” The refusal to acknowledge legitimate concerns cannot end well. At very least, it should lead to the end of Merkel’s political career, and her retirement to private life. “Survey finds one in three Germans supports ‘anti-Islamization’ PEGIDA marches,” […]
Merkel boner: German Chancellor tells Germans not to attend anti-Islamization rallies
It is the same story again and again and again: any voice raised against a political and social system that mandates the end of the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience, and second-class status for women and non-believers, is consigned to “bigotry,” “hatred,” “racism,” “nativism,” “xenophobia,” etc. Those who make these charges never […]
German Finance Minister: “People are right to fear Islamist terrorism. But not Islam”
But “Islamist terrorism” arises from Islam. Or does Schaeuble think it is just as likely to emerge from the Lutheran churches as from the mosques? How does Schaeuble propose to separate the Islam that he considers benign from the Islamist terrorism he regards as malignant? He doesn’t say, and probably doesn’t have any idea how […]
Germany: 17,500 march against Islamization, sing Christmas carols; lawmakers and media smear them as “pinstripe Nazis”
German authorities and the international media are making an utterly predictable but nonetheless inexcusable mistake by deriding these protesters as “far-right” and “pinstripe Nazis.” Nazis targeted people — the Jews — who were completely innocent of the charges made against them. Then the Nazis committed genocide. The Patriotic Europeans Against Islamisation of the West is […]
Danish TV on German anti-Islamization demo: “German middle class demonstrated”
This is very good news. It is excellent that Danish state TV, Danmarks Radio, truthfully notes that the opposition to Islam comes from the middle of society. The journalist’s claim that Germany is heading for a “Right turn” is not true. Being against Islam has nothing to do with being Right-wing. Actually, criticising religions and […]
Germany: Thousands take to the streets to protest “Islamization”
“Despite efforts by German politicians and the media to portray PEGIDA as neo-Nazi, the group has taken great pains to distance itself from Germany’s extreme right. The group says that it is ‘apolitical’ and that its main objective is to preserve what is left of Germany’s Judeo-Christian culture and values.” In response, Angela Merkel has […]
