PEGIDA

Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of Europe (German: Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes), abbreviated PEGIDA or Pegida, is a patriotic political movement critical of Islam. The political movement was founded in Dresden in October 2014.

On 23 January 2016, representatives of fourteen like-minded allies from all over Europe, signed the Prague Declaration, which states their belief that the history of Western civilization could soon come to an end through Islam conquering Europe. Pegida exists in numerous other European countries as well.
