Lutz Bachmann is the founder of the Pegida movement, a German political organisation linked to the anti-Muslim counter-jihad ideology.

In 1998 Lutz fled to South Africa but was deported back to Germany.

He started Pegida in October 2014 to protest plans to add 14 refugee centres in Dresden, Germany.

Through Pegida, he rallied the German people against the "parallel societies" of Muslims in Europe.

As a result of his involvement with Pegida, he has been threatened with death and had to cancel a march in Dresden.

Lutz has been sentenced to several years in prison, forced to flee his country, and attempted to enter the United Kingdom in mid-March 2018, but was blocked and deported.

The hurdles in life are somewhat parallel to mine, and it's my pleasure to welcome him onto my podcast.
