Stop Islamisation of Denmark (Danish: Stop Islamiseringen af Danmark, SIAD) is a Danish anti-Islam organisation founded in 2005.[1] The group was founded by Anders Gravers Pedersen who began the development of the activist part of the counter-jihad movement.[2]
The organisation considers its work to be comparable to the resistance movement during the Second World War, and a report by the Danish Center for Social Science Research on extremist movements in 2014 designated the group as "radical right".[3]

History and activities
The group has been active in campaigning against the building of mosques in Denmark and has staged free speech demonstrations in relation to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. In 2007 the group protested outside of the European Union headquarters in Brussels,[4] and launched the Europe-wide Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) following the international counter-jihad conference in Copenhagen.[1]
In 2013 a few dozen SIAD-demonstrators protested against discrimination against Jews. Counter-demonstrators fired off maroons and roman candles, and 32 counter-demonstrators were arrested.[5]
The group announced several demonstrations in a "Denmark tour" in 2015, at the same time that a new anti-Islam group, Pegida Denmark also began its demonstrations.[6][7]
