Anti-Islam Pegida Movement Outnumbered at 1st Rally in Austria 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
The anti-Islam Pegida movement has held its first-ever march in Austria.
But the roughly 250 Pegida supporters who gathered in Vienna were
heavily outnumbered by thousands of counterdemonstrators. In the German
city of Frankfurt, meanwhile, about 1,200 Pegida critics confronted a
rally of 85 supporters and threw eggs at Pegida organizer Heidi Mund.
