In the UK, across Europe and as far away as Australia, protestors marched in unison in opposition to the Islamization of the west.
In Birmingham in the UK, marches carried signs stating "Trump Is Right" acknowledging the proposed plan of the U.S. Republican presidential candidate to ban the influx or Muslim refugees until a reliable vetting program is in place.
The international rally was organized by the group: PEGIDA - Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, which was founded in Germany and has many branches across Europe and elsewhere.
From Dresden, Germany to Calais, in northern France to Canberra, Australia to Dublin, Ireland to Warsaw, Bratislava to Graz, Austria to Amsterdam, Holland to Prague and Brno, Czech Republic to Birmingham, United Kingdom the message was delivered loud and clear by tens of thousands of citizens to halt the Islamization of their countries and that the unprecedented influx of refugees from Africa, Asia and the Middle East has reached the breaking point.
In Prague, the leader of the anti-Muslim movement there, Martin Konvicka called the influx of refugees an "invasion" that posed a "huge threat for us all."
In Birmingham, UK, the former English Defence League (EDL) leader, Tommy Robinson, gave a speech in front of a group holding a banner which read: "Protect freedom. Reject hate." Robinson spoke about the movement and its intent:
"We are ordinary people, we are opposed to the Islamization of not just our country but the rest of Europe.
We are part of the European Union so it affects us, what decision Angela Merkel makes they affect us here.
We have got many different races here today, I don't incite any hate, I oppose hate. I would like you to tell me what have I said that is hatred.
I have never been anti-immigration, my mum was an immigrant to the UK. I have never said I am either.
I am opposed to Islamization. I don't care who comes into the country as long as they are not coming in to cause us harm.
The growing influence Islam has on society is not good for society. The more Islam, the less freedom, that is a realty.
I don't believe that we should be bringing in last year one-and-a-half million fighting age Muslim men into Germany, 600,000 of them have gone missing, 160,000 have gone missing from Sweden.
We don't know who they are, we don't know what their motives are in being in Europe. We have already seen 130 people killed by so-called refugees in France.
We have a big problem. The facts are I didn't rape 800 women, I didn't attack 800 women. Muslims did. I didn't rape 1,400 kids in Rotherham, it's not my fault it happened, I just tell you it happened.
I didn't make 360 Muslims try and commit acts of terrorism last year, I didn't make 2,000 British Muslims go to fight for ISIS. I didn't do that, they did it... I'm just telling the truth."
For the most part the rallies were peaceful, although arrests were reported where scuffles broke out between PEGIDA marchers and local opponents of the movement."
There were many placards rejecting the importation of the rape culture that has escalated dramatically with the influx of the Muslim refugees who possess a very different attitude toward women.
Many in the crowd carried signs endorsing the U.S. Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, which read: "Trump Is Right."
It’s refreshing to see common sense in action. Perhaps people are discovering just how evil islam is.
I don’t believe it! Could it be that the idiot Euroweenies are finally waking up?
The libtards went so far that Trump may have a global movement come election time...
Maybe we can make our own version of the “UN”. One that actually protects civilization rather than groveling to islamists and marxists.
That is why we must have Trump as President and I feel that what he will do to the American Muslim problem will be welcomed by European leaders.
Viva Les Croisades!
I’m shocked that there were no signs with Jeb Can Fix It.
First of all, I will say Trump is not my first choice, but I will vote for him for sure if he is nominated
What is SAD about these demonstrations though is that they must look to an upstart US candidate for guidance. Are Europeans so beat-down, and such sheep, no person or politician in Europe has a hope of representing their basic and reasonable ideas??
Thanks!
” Are Europeans so beat-down, and such sheep, no person or politician in Europe has a hope of representing their basic and reasonable ideas??”
From the looks of it..yes.
Maybe when you’ve “been there, done that” this probelm becomes real, not just a theoretical thing people have debates about.
Only one candidate named the problem and will fix it: Go Trump!
You damn betcha Trump is right, good to see some people over there are awake and sane.
Wow!
HOLY SMOKES!!! Trump isn’t even President yet, and here are foreign countries listening to him....
He is going to be the best POTUS we have had for many, many years!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
Love your humor RetSignman! LOL
LOL

Austria, Trump
Trump, Austria
What is the difference?
The media has, through liberalism and state influence, done a great job at convincing everybody that anybody that questions Islam is a racist. There is no discussion.
You cannot challenge it as an ideology. Quite the opposite, with the hate speech laws they have, speaking out about Islam is prosecuted as “racism”, you can go to jail.
It’s shear insanity. This is the biggest problem with liberal atheists, they think all religion is garbage and put them all into the same box. They can’t distinguish between opposing ideas presented by each religion, everything is just morally relative. It’s just “a mystery” as to why western cultures prospered through freedom and Islamic cultures are mired with suffering under dictators.
I grew up in the UK - every time I go back you can see the changes.
