Anti-Islam Pegida Group To Hold First London Rally

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES: The German right-wing, anti-Islam group Pegida, or Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West, will hold its first London rally on Saturday. This would be the group’s second demonstration in the U.K., following its event in Newcastle in February.

“Now is your chance to stand proud in our capital in support of Pegida U.K. and raise awareness of the detrimental affect radical Islam and slack border controls/mass immigration are having on our country,” the German group said in a statement posted on its Facebook page. The rally is scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m., local time, (12:00 p.m. EDT) and will include candlelight vigils and speeches by critics of Islam. » | Avaneesh Pandey | Saturday, April 04, 2015
