PEGIDA Launches In Britain Vowing to Fight 'Islamification of the West'

Britain's newest political movement which has vowed to fight the "Islamification of the West" has marked its official launch by announcing its first major rally.

The UK branch of the far right German campaign group PEGIDA will mark its introduction into the political sphere with a march throughout Newcastle later this month.

The new group, which has been set up by former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson, announced the planned protest with a message saying: "Let's show the Islamists we show no fear."

The group, whose name is a German acronym standing for Patriotic Europeans Against The Islamisation Of The West, has been accused in some quarters of being a far-right hate group.

It is centred on the theme "Save Our Country, Save Our Culture, Save Our Future".

I'll join if they're coming here too.

CAIR will be pulling every dirty trick in the book, trying to get them banned as a "hate" or "terrorist" group.
