The German Giant Awakes?

Here is an interesting story about the PEGIDA protests in Germany. This movement is quite large and protesting the "Islamization" of Germany. It is getting the Tea Party treatment from German pols and the press but if you read the report, the people involved seem to be the same sort as involved here in the Tea Party - quiet, respectful citizens who are fed up with the status quo. There is a tinge of traditional German nationalism (peace with Russia; the U.S. can't control our foreign policy) but by and large the focus is on Germany for Germans. There were also large Leftist counter-demonstrations to the march covered in the story, which is another feature of Germany in the last 100 years. Germany after all was the home of Karl Marx. This is an interesting brew developing and one to watch if it continues.
