DRESDEN, Germany (AP) — A weekly anti-Islam rally in the eastern German
city of Dresden drew its biggest crowd yet on Monday, after organizers
declared it a tribute to the victims of the terror attacks in Paris.
Organizers said 40,000 people participated in the march, while Dresden
police put the figure at over 25,000 people — still considerably more than
the 18,000 who came last week.
The group, which calls itself Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization
of the West, or PEGIDA, had asked supporters to wear black ribbons as a show
of respect for the 17 people killed in the French capital last week.
"The terrible acts of Paris are further proof that PEGIDA is needed," said
Lutz Bachmann, one of the organizers of the Dresden rally.
PEGIDA's critics, including all of Germany's mainstream parties, have
accused the group of exploiting the attack to stir up race hatred.
Some marchers held up placards with the names of the French journalists
killed by Islamic militants in Paris. Others carried banners condemning the
"lying press" that they claimed misrepresents their cause. One poster showed
Chancellor Angela Merkel wearing an Islamic headscarf.
One marcher, Markus Bauer of Bautzen, said he had come to express his
disgust about what he called the "ruling class."
"Wall Street controls them all. They are responsible for all the wars and
people know that," he said.
PEGIDA's organizers insist that they aren't aligned with Germany's far right
, but many in the crowd sported insignia and clothing that neo-Nazis use to
identify each other.
In other cities across Germany, counter protesters outnumbered the anti-
Islam demonstrators.
Berlin police said 4,000 people demonstrated against an anti-Islam rally
numbering about 400 protesters. In Munich 20,000 people took to the streets
to support tolerance and only 1,500 anti-Islam protesters showed up.
Leipzig police estimated that 15,000 counter protesters had rallied against
a far smaller number of anti-Islam demonstrators. | t*c 发帖数: 8291 | 2 德国没救了。
