One would think that when mosques are recruiting for and financing a jihad that Western authorities have characterized as being dominated by “extremists,” that those same Western authorities might get an inkling that what they consider to be “extremist” is not necessarily what mainstream Muslims consider to be “extremist.” But that is a point that is too politically incorrect for them even to dare to ponder.
“Austrian police raid Muslim centers over Syria war ties,” DPA, May 1, 2014 (thanks to Julian):
Two Muslim houses of prayer were raided by police in the Austrian city of Graz because of alleged recruitment and financing to support rebels fighting in Syria, prosecutors said Thursday.
The raids were carried out this week as part of an ongoing terrorism investigation against ultraconservative Salafist Muslim groups in Graz, a prosecution spokesman was quoted as saying by the Austrian press agency APA.
No one was arrested, but documents and electronic files were seized.
The police action at the prayer houses was triggered after four young Chechen asylum seekers died in the Syrian civil war, the daily Kleine Zeitung reported.
Since the beginning of the conflict, 80 to 100 people have left Austria to fight against the government in Syria, according to the Austrian Interior Ministry….

A mosque is not like a church or a synagogue.
A mosque is not a “house of prayer”. It is a forward operating base, a fortress, a safe house, an arsenal, and very often a weapons and/ or explosives factory.
Ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s little book on “The Mosque and Its Role in Society” sets out all the many traditional functions of a mosque very clearly; and shows how inimical a mosque is to any non-Muslim neighbourhood and society within which it is built.
He makes many of those points in this interview:

What is a Mosque? An Interview with Sam Solomon
‘Gordon: Greetings Mr. Solomon and thank you for consenting to this interview. Let us start with the simple question, what is a mosque and what is its basic function in the Muslim community?
Solomon: A mosque, totally unlike a church or a synagogue, serves the function of orchestrating and mandating every aspect of “life” in a Muslim community from the religious, to the political, to the economic, to the social, to the military..’.
‘GORDON: …Specifically, how is a mosque a threat to the community within which it is built?
‘Solomon: Every single mosque in the world, by definition, is modeled on the mosque of Muhammad in Medina in accordance with the Sunnah.
The Sunnah interprets the Qur’an by reporting exhaustively on everything that Muhammad said, did, or consented to.
‘Therefore, his Medina mosque, the first mosque, was a place where he gave judgments, where he decided who would be executed, where he instituted policy—domestic and military— where Jihad war strategies were designed.
‘Consequently, it was a storage place for arms, a military training base, and was where troops were blessed and dispatched..”.
“Where troops were blessed and dispatched”.
The jihadis issue from the mosque. The rioting mobs issue from the mosque. That is where they get their marching orders. No matter how many imams at how many mosques within the west, after yet another attendee has been busted for plotting jihad, pretend they didn’t know a thing about him and claim that they are shocked! shocked!
Another ex-Muslim, also discussing the inimical nature of the classical mosque, the mosque as such.

Fitzgerald: Mosques in the West
Julian says
It’s funny how the mayor of Graz got in big trouble for saying the city always was a fortress against the Turks (referring to its role in the 16th century)…..

Austrian law states that anyone fighting in a foreign war – on whatever side – automatically forfits citizenship and residency rights.
Just waiting to see if it is also applied to islamic jihadis – or whether PC will win over the law.
