Chanting "Merkel out" and waving German flags, supporters of the xenophobic PEGIDA movement vented their anger Saturday against migrants after a rash of sexual assaults in the western city of Cologne. Carrying banners and signs bearing slogans like "Rapefugees not welcome," the far-right protesters took aim at Merkel, accusing her of allowing migrants to running amok in Germany through her liberal stance towards those fleeing war. "Merkel has become a danger to our country. Merkel must go," a member of PEGIDA told the crowd, which echoed the call. Witnesses have described the perpetrators of the assaults in Cologne on the night of Dec. 31 as people with "North African or Arab" appearance. Federal police have said that a majority of the suspects identified so far are of foreign origin, inflaming a debate over Germany's ability to integrate the 1.1 million asylum seekers it took in last year alone. "These women who fell victim will have to live with it for a long time. I feel like my freedom has been robbed from me," a mother of four introduced as Christiane told the rally. "That's impossible. Frau Merkel, Frau Reker, you are women! Where is your solidarity? What are women worth in this society?" she said, referring to Henriette Reker, who is mayor of Cologne, and who was stabbed in the neck last October by a man with a far-right background. "We are the people,"chanted the crowd as they began marching away from the train station. "Those who don't love this country should disappear," they shouted. Some also heckled at the line of police officers standing guard, saying "where, where, where were you on New Year's eve?" "Nazis out" A helicopter circled overhead, and an occasional firecracker went off, adding to tensions as leftist demonstrators staged a counter-protest. Kept at bay from the PEGIDA crowd by police they chanted "Nazis raus!" (Nazis out!). "There is nothing right about Nazi propaganda," said a slogan on the sign held up by one protester, while another read "Fascism is not an opinion, it is a crime". "We are there to tell them to shut up. It is unacceptable for PEGIDA to exploit this horrible sexual violence perpetrated here on New Year's day and to spread their racist nonsense," said Emily Michels, 28. Half a dozen Iraqi and Syrian refugees were also part of the counter- demonstration group, with a Jordan-born woman running their local shelter, Dana Khamis, saying they had joined in the rally after hearing about the attacks. "I told them that the demonstration is about women's rights and against sexism and against facism, and they said they wanted absolutely to be part of it," said Khamis, 27. PEGIDA started life over a year ago as a xenophobic Facebook group, initially drawing just a few hundred protesters to demonstrations in the eastern city of Dresden before gaining strength, peaking with rallies of 25,000 people. Interest subsequently began to wane following overtly racist comments by founder Lutz Bachmann, and the surfacing of "selfies" in which he sported a Hitler moustache and hairstyle. But PEGIDA has seen a revival with the record influx of migrants to Germany. Poster Comment: Kept at bay from the PEGIDA crowd by police they chanted "Nazis raus!" (Nazis out!). Sounds like the object of PEGIDA is to send the Nazis back to Syria. Assad is the perfect type of government for the rapefugess to live under, they cannot put moral chains upon their own appetites, so it takes a brutal dictator to impose the chains upon them.

The leftist propogandist posing as a reporter couldn't even finish the opening sentence without injecting bias.
My feeling exactly. Here it is the last minute of the 11th hour for Germany as a German nation, and all the press can do is call people hate buzzwords for trying to save themselves. "Xenophobic," ye GODS what a lie, sort of like "nativist" and "isolationist"!!! Merkel is the worst, the worst, the worst kind of European head of state. She is positively defiant against German survival and only lives to help Germany's enemies eat her up.
The 5 cent psychiatrist is in,and saying that Merkel grew up as a dedicated communist in East Germany,and is trying to get back at the west for the destruction of the "workers paradise" there by destroying West Germany.
The 5c psychiatrist? Sounds like the literal truth from what I've read. 75% chance she's Jewish too. I don't see much about the Jewish stranglehold on planet Earth here, but assume there are no banned topics.
You can say pretty much anything you want here,but don't start in on that neo-Nazi "ALL Jews are evil" crap or people will identify you as the idiot you are. Yeah,SOME Jews are evil,and Jewish banking houses are involved in the push for globalism along with the Gentile and Asian banking houses,but the fact that some are Jewish,some are Gentile,and some are Asian proves that greed and the lust for power are the determining factors,not race or religion.
Yup. It' the same old story that recurs throughout history.
