Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West (Occident) (
German:
Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes), abbreviated
PEGIDA or
Pegida, is a German
nationalist,
anti-Islam,
far-right political movement.
[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] It was founded in
Dresden in October 2014. PEGIDA believes that Germany is being Islamicized
[13] and aims to oppose
Islamic extremism. PEGIDA wants to curb immigration, and accuses authorities of not enforcing existing laws.
[14] PEGIDA has held many demonstrations; often there have been many public demonstrations against PEGIDA as well.

Adolf Hitler and making racist statements on Facebook.
