Stop Islamisation of Denmark (Danish: Stop Islamiseringen af Danmark, SIAD) is a Danish anti-Islam organisation founded in 2005. The group was founded by Anders Gravers Pedersen who began the development of the activist part of the counter-jihad movement.

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".

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, and launched the Europe-wide Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) following the international counter-jihad conference in Copenhagen.

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.

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.
