The return of German fascism? Thousands of right-wing extremists demand 'no more Muslims on our soil' as they protest outside Berlin train station where refugees arrive.
Demonstrators held signs with slogans like 'No Islam on German Soil' and 'Merkel Must Go,' while waving German flags at the rally on Saturday afternoon (pictured insert) in the capital. About 1.1 million migrants crossed into Germany last year raising concerns nationwide about how the country would cope with the influx. Still, the rally drew only about a fifth of the numbers organisers had expected and several counter-protests were being held around Berlin in support of Merkel. Even as demonstrators (main image)chanted their 'we are the people' mantra common to all recent far-right rallies, onlookers outside the police cordon shouted back 'no you're not.' There weren't any immediate reports of clashes between the two sides. Mail.
