Murdering people because of a cartoon is their way to scare people into submission. “The Islamists have . . . shown in Paris that they are not at all ready for democracy but seek answers in violence and death,” the Pegida group said on Thursday, as it prepared for a demonstration in Dresden on Monday and pushed to spread its movement to other German cities and even Scandinavia. Pegida’s words were echoed by similar far-right and anti-immigrant movements across the continent. In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-Islam Freedom Party, criticised Dutch premier Mark Rutte and other western leaders for their allegedly conciliatory approach to radical Islam. “When will Rutte and other western government leaders finally get the message?” Mr Wilders said. “It’s war.” In France, where the nation was plunged into mourning, Marine Le Pen, leader of the surging National Front, called for an end to “hypocrisy” in addressing Islamism. “We must not be scared of saying the words: this is a terrorist attack carried out in the name of radical Islam,” she said.
