French anti-Islamists, inspired by the huge turn-outs at the xenophobic "Pegida" demos in Germany, have organised a protest for Paris later this month. While the organiser tells The Local "it's just a first step", experts say it could never take off in France.
The call has been sent out for those who oppose the "Islamisation of France" to make their feelings known in front of the Paris stock exchange on January 18th.
While the organisers accept they are unlikely to see the kind of numbers that have turned outĀ for similar demos in the German city of Dresden in recent weeks, they say it's just the first step.
