AfD and PEGIDA.Origins, threats and solutions

The paper explores the paradox of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's assertion that Islam does not belong in Germany, despite Muslims constituting nearly 5% of the population. It examines the ideological underpinnings of the AfD and the PEGIDA movement, questioning their rationale in a nation that upholds religious freedom as a constitutional principle. The analysis delves into the socio-political dynamics and historical context that shape these beliefs, providing insight into contemporary Christian-Muslim relations in Germany.
