I'm an American and I'm doing my best to wrap my head around the political climate that we live in. One organization that's got me interested is PEGIDA, of which I've found open discussion to be minimal.
So far I've seen a TON of articles claiming Pegida to be full of hateful neo-nazis and skinheads, but I haven't found many official Pegida resources in English. Could anyone here lead me in the right direction? Could you share your opinions on Pegida? Do you think Pegida's name has been soiled by the media?

In my city PEGIDA is gathering for demonstrations every monday, it's become a routine thing. I had planned to join them in the past, but never did, and likely never will. It's not because I don't like them or anything but instead if/when civil war breaks out, PEGIDA demonstrants are going to be the first people that will be shot by the police.
