2015

Support for PEGIDA

In 23 February 2015, Stadtkewitz spoke at a rally organised by PEGIDA in Dresden, Germany. He reportedly claimed that 'the right of asylum is being abused' and said:

'I call on all Muslims: Stand up and tear the violence and the hatred out of the Koran. Write a new Koran 2.0. Only then can there be peaceful co-existence. Only you can do that! Anyone who nonetheless still says that the atrocities do not come from the Koran, shares the responsibility for them. Islam cannot belong in Germany. Certainly, immigration can enrich a land, but only if it adheres to firm rules. And yet, even teachers and police officers are capitulating. If that continues, our land will lose its cultural identity.'[2][6]
