Anti-Islam Protests In Prague

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - JANUARY 16: People hold up placards during an anti-Islam protest on January 16, 2015 in Prague, Czech Republic. About 600 people gathered in front of Prague Castle to pay tribute to the 17 victims of last week's terrorist attacks in Paris. Organisers of citizen group 'We reject Islam in Czech Republic', informed participants about the group's negative view on Islam, its expansion in Europe and spoke about what they perceive as risks within the Czech Republic. Anti-Islam protests have also taken place across Germany recently with gatherings of Pegida, (an acronym which translates as 'Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamification of the West') which have quickly gained local appeal by demanding a more restrictive policy on Germany's acceptance of foreign refugees and asylum seekers.
