PEGIDA is an acronym from the German which, translated into English, means ‘Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West.’ Most chapters have kept this name to show solidarity. PEGIDA was founded in Dresden, Germany in October 2014 by citizens concerned about the increasing Islamization/Globalization of our western cultures. It has been organizing regular demonstrations ever since. The movement had grown to many different countries around the world in 2014-2016. PEGIDA Canada was formed in January 2015 through the European network. We are one of the few PEGIDA organizations that are still active. Our mandate remains unchanged.
PEGIDA Canada is founded on these principles
PEGIDA is FOR the admission of war refugees and political refugees or those who suffer religious persecution. PEGIDA is FOR the INTEGRATION of refugees into our land and culture. PEGIDA is FOR the utilization and implementation of existing laws on asylum and deportation. PEGIDA is FOR a zero-tolerance policy against delinquent asylum seekers and migrants. PEGIDA is FOR resistance to misogyny and violent political ideology. PEGIDA is FOR preserving and protecting our Christian-Judeo based culture. PEGIDA is AGAINST arms sales to unconstitutional, illegal or terrorist organizations. PEGIDA is AGAINST allowing parallel societies in our midst, such as Sharia law, Sharia police, etc. PEGIDA is AGAINST radicalism whether religiously or politically motivated. PEGIDA is AGAINST preachers of hate, no matter what religion you belong to.
This is an interesting article by Radio-Canada. We have done studies of students in Canada, who were approached by foreign students and were seduced for the purpose of obtaining asylum.

The number of study permits granted to foreign students has exploded in Canada. A way for some to set foot in the country for the sole purpose of seeking asylum, Radio-Canada noted.
This situation affects many private and public institutions, especially in Ontario, where there is a high proportion of permits issued to Indian nationals.
Located in the suburbs of Toronto, Seneca College is at the top of these institutions that have the most foreigners who eventually apply for asylum. Other Ontario private institutions are concerned.
Conestoga College, for example, experienced a phenomenal jump in enrolment of foreign students (from 6,000 to 30,000 between 2018 and 2023), with, again, a sharp increase in the number of people seeking asylum once they arrived in the country thanks to their study permits.

In recent months, we have been sensitized by the management of higher education institutions to the phenomenon of foreign students who enroll, but who end up never attending their courses, so-called no-shows, recognises the office of the Minister of Immigration, Christine Fréchette.
Our hypothesis is that these are the same people who obtain a study permit and who subsequently apply for asylum seeker status. (…)
Asylum applications and study permits N
To also make these stratagems related to study permits less attractive, Ottawa also decided, as early as next September, to limit the number of hours of work allowed, each week, for these students to 24. (…)
Tawhid is the Islam’s central and single most important concept, upon which a Muslim’s entire religious adherence rests. It unequivocally holds that God is indivisibly one (ahad) and single (wahid) as stated in the shahādah (“witness”) formula: “There is no god but God and Muhammad is His prophet.” Muslims use the single raised index finger gesture (al-sabbaba or al-sabbaha) as a symbol of tawhid.
This appears to be in defiance of the Christian archbishop wearing a cross.
Interestingly, this caused a stir in Turkey, but French media didn’t pick up on it.

The number of foreigners suspected of having committed crimes is soaring
The number of crimes increased again last year, especially compared to 2019, which precedes the year of COVID-19. The evolution of foreign offenders in the Police Statistics of Crime is particularly striking: their proportion continues to increase, especially among the alleged perpetrators of violence.
Police Statistics on Crime (“Polizeiliche Kriminalitätsstatistik” – PKS) carried out on behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior report a further increase in crimes in Germany. As shown by an overview of the Federal Office of Criminal Police, the number of all recorded crimes increased by 5.5% last year to 5.94 million cases. If we exclude violations of the law of foreigners such as illegal entry or unauthorized stay in the Federal Republic, the figure is 5.64 million offences. This is 4.4% more than the previous year and 7.0% more than in 2019, the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a clear increase in violent crime: 214,000 cases correspond to an increase of 8.6% since 2022, respectively 18.3% more compared to 2019.
“We are seeing an increase in violent crime, juvenile delinquency and foreign crime. It is important to me that the rule of law intervene firmly against violence. In this area, zero tolerance is required, “said Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser during the presentation of the statistics in Berlin. “Concretely, this means: fast procedures, tangible penalties. Foreign offenders must leave Germany much faster. It is now a question of applying the strict rules of expulsion that we have created, “continued the SPD representative.
The informative value of Police Crime Statistics (PKS) is controversial: the people surveyed were denounced by citizens or accused of a crime by the police, who themselves observed them. But the figures do not make it possible to know who was convicted, that is, who actually committed a crime. In addition, Police Crime Statistics (PKS) list a multitude of very different crimes, ranging from beatings and injuries to theft, organized gang fraud and cybercrime, not to mention minor crimes such as the possession of small quantities of drugs or shoplifting. Scientists also criticize the distorted images that result from the simple subdivision into German and foreign offenders.
The case of asylum seekers, refugees and tolerated foreigners attracts attention.
However, it is this figure that attracts attention. The number of foreign suspects increased by 17.8% in the Police Crime Statistics (PKS) to 923,269. If we exclude violations of the law of foreigners, the increase in foreign suspects is still 13.5%. People without a German passport thus represent nearly half of the 2.25 million suspects, although they represent only a small part of the total population: in 2022, the share of foreigners in the total population was 14.6%. On the other hand, the number of suspects of German nationality remained virtually unchanged, with an increase of 1%.
The proportion of foreigners is also disproportionate among acts of violence: violent crime increased by 8.6% to 214,099 cases – a new record since 2007. The number of foreign perpetrators of alleged violence increased by 14.5%, the number of German perpetrators of alleged violence by 2.2%. Of 190,605 suspects in violent crime cases, 111,517 were foreigners last year – 2,379 more than the previous year and significantly more than half of the 190,605 people accused in the context of acts of violence. Another striking fact: 71% of the suspected foreign perpetrators of violence are considered by the Federal Criminal Police Office as “immigrants”, i.e. asylum seekers, people with the right to stay in Germany as war refugees or beneficiaries of the right of asylum, people with a tolerance status (“Duldung”) or without any right of residence in Germany.

More suspected children and adolescents
The number of children and adolescents accused of violent crimes has also increased significantly: 12,377 children and 30,244 adolescents were accused of one or more acts of violence in 2023 – an increase of 17 and 14% respectively.
1.97 million cases of theft represent an increase of 10.7% compared to the previous year. Among the approximately 424,000 people involved, there are about 187,000 foreigners, of whom more than one in four fall into the category of immigrants. With an increase of 23.6%, the BKA records the highest level of shoplifting since 2006. The number of burglaries has also increased compared to 2022, but despite an increase of 18.1%, the figure is still lower than in 2019.
An obvious link with immigration
Sociologists and criminologists explain the disproportionate number of foreigners among people accused of a crime for different causes. Thus, most immigrants are young men, who are strongly represented in all crime statistics. In addition, there is the particularly difficult social situation of foreigners in Germany and possibly their own experience of violence in their country of origin or during their flight to Germany, which has lowered the threshold of inhibition of violence.
In addition, many crimes have been committed in and around accommodation centers for foreigners, where the accommodation situation is extremely tense on the one hand and where police and security are particularly present on the other. In addition, sociologists have shown that the propensity to file a complaint is significantly higher with regard to people perceived as not belonging to their own group.
But the Federal Office of Criminal Police also notes that the proportion of foreigners accused of a crime even decreased last year. But as the number of foreigners living in Germany is significantly higher, the absolute number of foreign offenders has still increased. The link between immigration and the number of registered crimes is therefore obvious. This revives the debate on the proper management of the right of asylum, the limitation of immigration and the resources of the police, justice and immigration services.
The Union (CDU/CSU group) calls for a debate on immigration
“We have a problem – which is also related to migration,” said Andrea Lindholz, Vice-President of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, on the ARD channel. “We need to manage migration better, we need to know who is coming to our country,” she added. Germany is reaching its “limits” with its “integration capacities”, continued Lindholz. Integration and prevention cost “a lot of resources that, to be realistic, we do not even have”.
For the SPD in the Bundestag, it is mainly the Länder that have obligations. “The increasing propensity for violence requires a double response: consequent criminal prosecution and immediate punishment of acts as well as increased prevention upstream,” said his spokesman for home affairs, Sebastian Hartmann, to the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND). “The Länder responsible for police risk prevention must focus on this point in order to break the spiral that is beginning”.
The Greens were also concerned, but warned that it was “little responsible” to use these figures to focus on immigration. “This in no way does justice to the complexity of the evolution of criminal phenomena,” said their parliamentary secretary Irene Mihalic to the RND. Nevertheless, the figures must be analyzed “very precisely now” in order to draw the right conclusions.
Toronto-York Regional District school board has decided not to use the star of David on their calendar, because it supposedly denotes political interests. Instead, they have decided to use the menorah . Who is going to tell them that this is not politics, it’s a religious war. The menorah will make not one jot of difference, and there will be pressure to remove the presence of Jews entirely. This is their objective.
“ The multi faith calendar committee consulted with various faith leaders to determine appropriate faith symbols for different religions. For Judaism, the menorah was chosen over the star of David due to its purely religious significance, while the star of David carries political connotations with the state of Israel. This decision aligns with our commitment to interfaith dialogue and avoids political associations in the multi faith calendar.”
Sudden rise in tension, this Sunday, May 5 at around 10:30 p.m., in a train of the Reims tramway (…)
Revealed this Monday by Valeurs actuelles magazine, the information is confirmed by Reims prosecutor François Schneider. “The respondent is a 49-year-old Tunisian, without a regular title on French territory since April 7, 2024,” explains the magistrate.
“He shouted “Allah akbar” in the tram, saying that he had a bomb and that he was going to blow everything up. “. The so-called bomb he exhibited was actually “a construction site lamp”.“It was controlled and “disarmed” by the passengers, who were very brave. »
(…) In a complete state of drunkenness, he said he no longer remembers anything after being disauted at the police station. If he is unknown to territorial intelligence, man is not unknown to ordinary law courts, with “42 mentions in the criminal record”, says the prosecutor of Reims.
In addition, the individual was subject to a “prison sentence pending adjustment”. (…)
The psychiatric expert who came to examine him declared him criminally responsible for his actions, without noting the existence of particular mental disorders. (…) The respondent could be tried according to the immediate appearance procedure.
