Riposte Laïque
Riposte Laïque (English: Secular Response) is a French anti-Muslim organisation founded in 2007 by Pierre Cassen.[1]
According to the self-defining counterjihad blog Gates of Vienna, it is one of the two most prominent French Counterjihad groups (the other being Résistance Républicaine).[2]

Activities
Inspired by the PEGIDA protests seen in Germany, the group called for rallies across France on 18 January 2015, under the slogan 'Islamists get out of France'.[3]
Leader Pierre Cassen said he had invited leaders from the German street movement to the Paris demonstration and also leaders from Italy and Switzerland he felt had 'led by example in protest against the Islamisation of Europe'.[3] Former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson also attended.
