Muslims Furious After New Song Tops Charts in Germany… Want to Guess What It Says About Islam?

Its 5-minute video features marchers, German flags, Israeli flags and Christian symbols.

An anti-Muslim group’s recent release has topped Amazon’s singles chart in Germany, knocking Adele’s hit single, “Hello,” out of the number one spot, according to the European news site The Local.
The German group, Pegida, released its single, “Gemeinsam Sind Wir Stark!” or “Together We Are Strong!” on Dec. 21, and the song’s growing popularity is surprising many considering it has no lyrics.
However, the song does have meaning as it relates to the growing threat of Islam throughout the Western world. 

Some listeners have criticized the song, which is similar to a hymn, for being unsophisticated, but that doesn’t seem to matter to those who appreciate its underlying anti-Islamic message. While reviews for the song seem to be split, its growing popularity is giving it just what its creators want — popularity.

Pegida leader Lutz Bachmann didn’t seem to mind the negative reviews of the song and even thanked the critics on his Facebook page for contributing to the song’s success. The song is now being sold on Amazon to raise funds for the protest movement.
The band seems to understand that any publicity is good publicity, and Bachmann attributes the negative reviews to opponents of the Pegida movement who do not like the song’s message.
The Pegida name comes from the movement’s acronym in German — “Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident” (“Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes”) — and it first emerged in October 2014 with weekly demonstrations against what it believed was the “Islamisation” of western countries.
The Syrian refugee crisis has raised awareness of anti-Islamic rallies and caused concern about right-wing radicalism in Germany, as the refugee problem continues to escalate tensions.

Whether you like the song or not, you’ve got to appreciate these guys and their effort to fight what they consider a good cause.
