After largely disappearing from the German media in recent months, demonstrations by PEGIDA (Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West) hit Germany's headlines this week after Monday's rally in the eastern German city of Leipzig turned violent.
The city's police reported that some 500 LEGIDA marchers where confronted with a counter movement of around 1,000 people who blocked the route of the rally. The evening became violent, however, after dozens of "hooligans" joined LEGIDA's ranks, with some protesters successfully breaking free from the area secured by police.
Two officers were injured after bottles and fireworks where thrown by right-wing marchers, while a water cannon was also deployed to hold back counter-demonstrators.
Almost a year since PEGIDA began its first demonstrations in the Saxony capital of Dresden, DW spoke to Marcel Nowicki, co-founder of Leipzig's anti-PEGIDA movement "NO LEGIDA," to assess the the current situation.
I always hate to read stories like this out of Germany.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Conservative columnist Ann Coulter used an epithet to describe Jews in expressing frustration with pledges to support Israel during the most recent Republican debate.
“How many f—ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?” Coulter said on Twitter during the final minutes of the three-hour debate Wednesday evening, when four of eleven candidates mentioned their support for Israel in their closing remarks.
The four candidates were former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who said he would move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem as one of his first acts as president, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
In a separate tweet, she said, “Maybe it’s to suck up to the Evangelicals.

my first world pet peeve of the day
You know when you have to enter your credit card information on web forms ? It's always fun when you think you did it exactly correct, and the form rejects your entries for some really obscure reason. Computers are OCD to the max, for sure.

sociopath or psychopath, which term do you prefer ?
From what I've read, shrinks are saying the terms are the same, but hey, I'm ready to be educated.
Totally OT but I refuse to watch the clown car debates, not happening, nope, no way, I don't need to get depressed and angry tonight.
