All that article tells me is that a few thousand pissed off Germans protested against immigration (with the largest group at 25k, shortly after the Hebdo incident which is understandable). It's pretty obvious that areas most negatively affected by the refugees are going to have movement sprout up against them. I would say that more right winged politics will gain popularity out of the refugee crisis, as the current left dominated landscape has set the current table. |
Except it's the exact opposite. Eastern Germany has the lowest ratio of foreigners with only 2-3% and only a fraction of that come from countries where Islam is the main religion. The vast majority comes from Eastern Europe and East Asian states.
Pegida is just a group of ignorant and stupid people who have never seen a Muslim in their lifes and just hate them because they are different.
Basically the rednecks of Germany.
