The most powerful woman in far-Right Germany has made an extraordinary call for the public to ‘forget about decency’ and fight the ‘sex-jihad’ she claims is being waged against Western women.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Tatjana Festerling, 51, the second-in-command of the anti-Islam group Pegida, said ‘political correctness’ was putting women and gay men at risk of assault.
In a vicious attack on Muslim migrants and the political elite, she said: ‘Germany is like an open-air psychiatric ward with the mental illness of political correctness.
'We don’t have time for decency any more. If we don’t grab our pitchforks and fight the Islamisation of Europe, we are lost.'
Her comments, in a video for MailOnline, will cause concern that a resurgent far-Right is exploiting migration to whip up racist hatred.
Accompanied by a bodyguard at a cafe in central Dresden, Festerling told MailOnline:
’Pegida are the only ones who don’t care about being politically correct. We just don’t care. We have no scruples and no fear.
‘We are on the rise all over the world, regaining territory that was lost to political correctness.
‘The Muslim headscarf should be banned, and radical mosques should be closed. We need to make life uncomfortable for them.
'Migrants should be forced to register at police stations, and ultimately we need to look at deportation. If they keep crossing the border and you can't arrest them, shoot them.'
Germany’s ‘refugees welcome culture’ is like a cult, she said, with anti-migrant voices being suppressed by an out-of-touch political elite. She continued:
If they keep crossing the border and you can't arrest them, shoot them
‘In peaceful times, we Germans like to be decent and behave nicely to foreigners. But in times like these, we need to forget about decency.
'F*** decency. This fight against Islamisation is the last battle.’
Her inflammatory remarks followed a week in which Pegida – a German acronym for Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West – led demonstrations across the globe, a number of which turned violent.
Experts fear that the escalation in rhetoric marks a 'gear-shift' on the far-Right, raising fears of further unrest around the continent.
‘People are on the verge of panic about mass immigration, and Pegida is trying to capitalise on that,’ said Vidhya Ramalingam, a Fellow at the German Institute on Radicalisation and De-Radicalisation Studies (GIRDS).
‘It’s a very dangerous moment, because when people feel out of control they resort to violence.’
Festerling went on to compare the Left’s supportive attitude towards migrants to ‘Stockholm Syndrome’.
‘Even as the migrants are committing sex-jihad against women and homosexual men, the Leftists are offering them roses,’ she said.
‘They care more about young Muslim men than they do about their own women. They are infatuated with their own abusers.’
She continued: ‘I like hooligans. Hooligans have my respect. They have protected Pegida rallies right from the beginning against the brutal leftists.
‘I can understand why a man becomes a hooligan. It’s a rebellion against what I call “nipple socialism”, our feminised culture that promotes women and Muslims and wages war on white men.’
The Islamisation of Europe was ‘already underway’, she added, with churches being forced to remove crucifixes, pork being banned in kindergartens, Sharia police roaming the streets, and the whole of western Germany run as a ‘caliphate’.
A Pegida leader who defected from the group last year because it had become ‘too extreme’ branded Festerling’s claims ‘a pack of lies’.
‘Churches are not being turned into mosques. West Germany is not a caliphate. Kindergartens are not banned from serving pork, and there is no Sharia police,’ Rene Jahn, 50, told MailOnline.
‘I know how Pegida works. People like Tatjana Festerling search for a few extreme, isolated examples and exaggerate them, saying that it is like this in all of Germany. They are just trying to whip up panic.’
In response, Festerling branded Jahn an 'attention seeker' and a 'narcissist'.
When challenged about the truth of her allegations, the far-Right leader said that the media, police and political classes knowingly cover up negative stories about migrants.
‘The Cologne police chief lost his job for pretending that the sex attacks were not perpetrated by migrants, and he is not a unique case,’ she said. ‘The authorities and the lying press have lost all credibility. We are telling the truth.’
Inflammatory rhetoric is fast becoming common currency on the German far-Right, as the political climate overheats in response to the migrant crisis.
Last month, Franke Petry, the leader of the far-Right AfD party suggested that the borders should be closed and migrant infiltrators shot.
A survey found that AfD support had jumped to 12 per cent following these remarks, making it the third largest party in Germany.
Festerling - who has been fined in court for falsifying claims against migrants - echoed Petry’s comments. ‘Our borders should be closed and infiltrators should be arrested or, as a last resort, shot,’ she told MailOnline.
‘It’s about fences, it’s about infrastructure, it’s about the military. You have to be serious if you want to be taken seriously.'
