European Anti-Islam Protests, Geert Wilders and PEGIDA Rallies

Anti-Islam sentiment rose across Europe following the Paris attacks, with Geert Wilders gaining popularity in the Netherlands and PEGIDA holding large rallies in Dresden, Germany. Approximately 25,000 people attended a protest in Dresden against the perceived "Islamization" of the West. Chancellor Angela Merkel countered these movements by stating that Islam is a part of Germany, leading to a "battle of numbers" between pro- and anti-immigration demonstrators.
