Quote:Violent clashes break out across the globe as thousands take to the streets in anti-Islam protests organised by far-right group PEGIDA

• Protesters have clashed with immigration supporters and police forces during planned far-right demonstrations
• Organised by anti-Islam group PEGIDA, cities across Europe and Australia saw thousands take to the streets
• The confrontational rallies were held in cities that included Prague, Amsterdam, Dresden, Calais and Canberra
• Former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson joined 200 supporters at a rally in Birmingham 
  

Violent scuffles broke out across Europe today as thousands of people taking part in far-right anti-Islam protests clashed with pro-immigration groups and riot control police.



Police in Dresden, Germany, saw about 2,000 protesters at a rally organised by the group Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West, making it the biggest of a coordinated series of demonstrations across European cities.

Known by its German acronym PEGIDA, the group emerged in Dresden two years ago and has become a magnet for far-right and anti-immigrant sentiment.

Quote:Nationalist groups in Europe have been galvanized by the unprecedented influx of refugees from Africa, Asia and the Middle East last year. Today similar, smaller PEGIDA-style protests were planned in France, Britain, Poland, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.

In the Czech capital of Prague, thousands rallied against the influx of refugees and others in support of them and opposing protesters clashed and had to be separated by police.


Martin Konvicka, a leader of the anti-Muslim movement, is calling the influx of refugees an 'invasion' that poses a 'huge threat for us all'. Two other anti-migrant groups are rallying in Prague and another in the second-largest Czech city of Brno.


In Dublin, scuffles broke out between people who had gathered to protest against the launch of PEGIDA in Ireland, and those who attended the launch of the group.

Lots more cool pictures there too!


Around 20 anti-migrant protesters were arrested, including former French Army General Christian Piquemal (holding the megaphone), in Calais, France, after scuffles with police at a banned rally in support of a Europe-wide initiative by the Islamophobic PEGIDA movement



Nothing like fighting with the police to protest how out of control someone else is.

As for why I posted the photo.   I just like a hot Aussie with a t-shirt painted with topical news.   And figured others would appreciate that as well.
