RISE OF NATIONALISM IN GERMANY (Germans Who Don't Want Islam to Take Over Their Country) SETS OFF ALARMS

It was bound to happen, eventually.

You can't just have a pseudo-authority like the EU, or UN, dictate to nations around the Western world, how they will run their countries. Eventually the people of one of those countries is going to get angry.

In fact, they have a right to be very angry.

But the thing is, when some people get angry, they are rational.

While Germany is a highly rational country, in it's intellectual tradition, it has not been highly been highly rational when it has gotten angry.

Good job, EU.

Good job, UN.

You guys stirred up the hornet's nest. Now let's see how history reacts:

Pegida holds ‘Islamisation’ protest, using slogan from 1989 campaign against East German government. Its members have been dubbed the “pinstriped Nazis” and they refer to their demonstrations as “evening strolls” through German cities. 

But on Monday night, an estimated 15,000 people joined Pegida, or Patriotic Europeans Against Islamisation of the West, in a march through Dresden carrying banners bearing slogans such as “Zero tolerance towards criminal asylum seekers”, “Protect our homeland” and “Stop the Islamisation”. 

Lutz Bachmann, the head of Pegida, a nascent anti-foreigner campaign group, led the crowds, either waving or draped in German flags, in barking chants of “Wir sind das Volk”, or “We are the people”, the slogan adopted by protesters in the historic “Monday demonstrations” against the East German government in the runup to the fall of the Berlin Wall. 

Associating themselves with the freedom demonstrations has given Pegida protests an air of moral respectability even though there are hundreds of rightwing extremists in their midst, as well as established groups of hooligans who are known to the police, according to Germany’s federal office for the protection of the constitution. 

“The instigators are unmistakably rightwing extremists,” a federal spokesman said.

Are they?

I hope not.

Given the Guardian's track record of calling everyone who cares about the Western Tradition a "Right-Wing Extremist", I actually doubt these people are extremists of any sort.

The Guardian are anti-Western extremists. Yes, of that there is no doubt.

But we shall see how this turns out in Germany.

And, if it turns out badly, the fault lies solely with the Left, who have enforced an untenable situation vis a vis Muslim immigration.

Check out the comments in reaction to this hail of ignorance at the Guardian:

DOUGTHEAVENGER SAYS:

How about facing the threats of our time instead of fighting the NAZIs who were vanquished by a previous generation. Cowards want to fight old battles that have already been won and where they think the outcome is certain. Man up and face the real enemies of today.

MEGAWURST SAYS:

The Pegida has nothing to do with Nazi ideology and "pure blood". The demands of the Pegida people are written down and are reasonable. You could not be more wrong about Germany and the aims of the Pegida movement.

ROBERT88871 SAYS:

If you don't want your country over run by a bunch of Islamo-fascists, you're a "nazi". And why should private Christian schools be controlled by the government just because a bunch of radical Islamists who may teach violence against non-Muslims? The left wing so desperately wants to eliminate borders and culture that they are willing to destroy a nation.
