Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Vienna: Government wants to identify Muslim youth “latently vulnerable” to “radicalization” and establish “dialogue” with them

Oct 17, 2016 8:36 am By Robert Spencer

Oh yes, this will work. A bit of “dialogue” will have young Muslims all over Austria forgetting all about Qur’an 2:191 and 4:89 and 9:5 and 9:29 and 47:4 et al.

“Factors deemed to increase the risk of radicalisation are how religious a teenager is…”

Thrown into the story in the sixth paragraph, we get what may be the first recognition by a government in the West that Islam has something to do with young Muslims becoming jihadis. Can common sense dawn in Europe? Could reality be breaking through, albeit buried deep in the story?

vienna-mosque

“Young Muslims at risk of radicalisation in Vienna,” The Local, October 17, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

A study by the City of Vienna shows that a high proportion of Muslim teenagers in the Austrian capital are at risk of being radicalised.

The study found that 85 percent of young people who are in contact with a youth worker have an immigration background, and that 27 percent of those teenagers who are Muslim show strong sympathy for jihadism, and violent and anti-Western thinking.

The government in Vienna says that it wants to identify this group of “latently vulnerable” youth and establish a dialogue with them, before they become radicalised.

The author of the study, Kenan Güngör, spoke to young people who are involved in youth work, either in centres, parks, or on the streets, and identified three groups of teens – “vulnerable”, “ambivalent”, and “moderates”. Out of 401 respondents, 214 were Muslims aged between 14 and 24-years-old. Asked if the Islamic world should defend itself by force against the West, 34 percent said that they agreed with this statement. 29 percent said they thought positively of people who were prepared to go to war for their religion.

According to Güngör’s study, 27 percent of the Muslim respondents belong to the “vulnerable” group. 31 percent are “ambivalent” – although they showed sympathy for religious extremists, they said they would refuse to kill in the name of God. A large proportion, 42 percent of Muslim youth, are “moderate” – with a liberal outlook and a rejection of violence they have little risk of being radicalised.

‘Too late’ for some

Factors deemed to increase the risk of radicalisation are how religious a teenager is, whether they have a homogenous rather than a mixed group of friends, their own experience of being a migrant, and their sex. “Radicalisation is a male problem,” Güngör says. He added that a “small and dangerous group” of youths are already radicalised and that it’s too late to try and reach them via youth and social workers….

    Just because they eat Austrian Weiner Schnitzel does not mean they do not want to kill. If they attend a mosque, the moderate carpet kissers will make Austria bear the cost of EU good intentions until Austrians regret offering the invitation.

    Shock! “27 percent of those teenagers who are Muslim show strong sympathy for jihadism.”
    All because Austria has failed to integrate them (not the other way round)?

    Someone need inform the city of Vienna that jihad is not optional, nor subject to percentages of approval. “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims”, and is “a communal obligation”
    (Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” o9.0, o9.1).
    The author of the study seems to have a Turkish name, so he is unlikely to inform them.

    This excellent video has been recommended by me many times, but for newbies or readers of JW who somehow missed seeing it:

    Sure enough, “Kenan Güngör, sociologist, german-speaking European with Kurdish-Turkish roots. Founder and owner of the Office for Society I Organization I Development [think.difference] in Vienna”

    Listen to the fashionable guff and claptrap cliches that Kenan Gungor’s organisation promotes, the giveaway being “societal transformations”:

    “an internationally acknowledged Consulting and Research Office which supports and facilitates core institutions of our society in dealing with societal transformations.

    At the bottom lies the question of how the inclusive and cohesive forces of our society can be secured within the context of growing dynamic processes and plurality.

    We support organizations and institutions in dealing with these transformative processes by offering advice, guidance and development of sustainable, adaptive strategies, concepts and approaches.”

      The Austrian public never voted to have “societal transformations”.
      This is the EU destroying Europe.

    Islam must end, like Nazism and Shintoism.

    The problems will continue, and they’ll eventually destroy us all if we insist on ignoring the gorilla in the room.

    Kenan Gungor’s organisation, “think.difference”, does not show on its website how it is funded. Quite probably it is another of those highly suspect “Think tanks” set up and funded by government to look like independent advisors, while obligingly trotting out government “narratives”. The questionable “Quilliam” in the UK comes to mind.

    Radicalization? Do they read about the koran and the life of Mohammad approvingly? Is there more?

    Demand apostasy.

    “Radicalization” is hogwash.
    Koran 9:5 “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them”.
    The Koran is not optional: denying any verse brings death, vigilante-style.
    The ordinary muslim recites this from memory in Arabic, which most do not speak.
    The “radicalized” muslim obeys what it says.

      You’re right, Michael, of course…why do we accept this concept of “radicalisation” at all…islam, as an image of a ‘tree’, IS ITSELF producing the fruit of hatred and violence by the hateobject it has invented…don’t blame ‘history’…slam created its own history…we now see how the leaves and ‘fruit’ is coming. Interesting enough, this image is not new…

      Luke 21:29-33 (Gospel Harmony ESV)
      Luke
      29 And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. 31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

      There exists no so called ‘islam’ independent of the prophecies of Jesus…the fruit comes according to its kind – weird people from specious teaching!

    Start with “all of them” and work from there.

    “Radicalisation is a male problem,” Güngör says”

    Uh-huh. Any ‘sociologist’ I ever met was as thick as a plank. Of course, this one has mohammedan roots, so the thick factor is doubled. More likely though it’s the usual mohammedan lies.

    “Asked if the Islamic world should defend itself by force against the West, 34 percent said that they agreed with this statement.”

    Defend? Defend themselves from aggressive bowing and scraping by EU functionaries?

    Turn the thing 180 degrees.
    Ask Christian migrants to Austria the same questions and co-relate religious observance with violent sympathies.
    Not much doubt about the outcome.
    The thing that gets me is the extent to which left-leaning governments are prepared to use their populations as ‘crash test dummies’ while this multi kulti issue is worked through.

    “latently vulnerable” . A Google search for latent:

    “existing but not yet developed, hidden, concealed” and “lying dormant until circumstances are suitable”.

    If you were brainwashed since birth with this crap, yeah it will be latent.

    It also brought up this story about the high rate of latent tuberculosis among refugees, with the data being suppressed:
