Followers of a German-based right wing group known for its inflammatory anti-Islamic rhetoric are planning to stage a demonstration later this month in a St-Leonard burough neighbourhood of Montréal (Canada) that has a significant Muslim population.

Pegida Quebec is an offshoot of a European group of the same name, which stands for “Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West”.

The group is on the radar of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

This week The Canadian Press agency said that CSIS had informed Public Saftey Minister Steve Blaney in September 2014 that there is a growing anti-Islam movement in Canada that poses an ongoing risk because many of its “proponents advocate violence”.

The German founder of the Pegida group, Lutz Bachmann, resigned two weeks ago after posting an image of himself made up as Adolph Hitler.   »»» CJAD 800 News (Québec, Canada)
