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

Austria: Books preaching Islamic jihad found in prison library, placed by anti-Semitic Muslim group

Oct 24, 2017 10:13 am By Robert Spencer

But the Muslim group in question says it’s all “hysteria”: “The IGGÖ has been criticised in the past for participating in an anti-Israel demonstration in 2014 which contained overtly anti-Semitic signs and posters….IGGiÖ President Ibrahim Olgun hit back at Brandstetter saying: ‘Hysteria and panic-making are counterproductive,’ and added: ‘We acknowledge that a mistake has been made, and we have taken the necessary measures to avoid such incidents in the future..'”

Of course! Calm down, you hysterical Islamophobe! What could possibly go wrong?

“Radical Islamist ‘Hate Books’ Found in Austrian Prison Library,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 23, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Authorities in Austria discovered a number of radical Islamist “hate books” in a prison library leading to fears Muslim inmates are being actively radicalised by hate preachers.

The discovery of Islamist hate literature in the library at the Korneuburg prison in Austria has raised the spectre of Islamic radicalisation in the country’s prisons. The book, which is written in Cyrillic script, is apparently not the only piece of radical Islamist literature to be found in the Austrian prison system, Kronen Zeitung reports.

Justice Minister Wolfgang Brandstetter said there have been at least 30 radical Islamist books found in prison libraries which were subsequently removed.

Since 2010, responsibility for the stocking of Islamic texts in prison libraries has been with the Islamic Religious Community in Austria (IGGÖ), but after the discovery, the government has decided to bring in a different organisation.

The IGGÖ has been criticised in the past for participating in an anti-Israel demonstration in 2014 which contained overtly anti-Semitic signs and posters.

Justice Minister Brandstetter said there must be a “zero tolerance” for Salafist ideas in the prison system. “Such a find is counter to all our efforts in the fight against radicalisation in prison, so we must, of course, draw consequences,” he said.

IGGiÖ President Ibrahim Olgun hit back at Brandstetter saying: “Hysteria and panic-making are counterproductive,” and added: “We acknowledge that a mistake has been made, and we have taken the necessary measures to avoid such incidents in the future.”…

    Who would have guessed. Same in US jails where many criminals have turned to islam because it empowers them as men.

    Justice Minister Brandstetter seems to be equating “Salafist ideas” with “radicalisation”.

    Can some Austrian ask him in what way “Salafist ideas” are not orthodox Islam?

      Salafist ideas are the ideas and ideology of the FIRST THREE GENERATIONS of Muslims that MOHAMMED said were the BEST Muslims.

      Anyone who imitates the SALAF (pioneers of Islam) are the BEST MUSLIMS.

      The Salaf knew Mohammed and practiced JIHAD based on the methods of Mohammed: deception, butchery, murder of prisoners, rape of married women, enslavement, plunder, confiscation of property, extortion, rewriting history, blaming the victims.

    THE WEST TOSSES PEOPLE INTO PRISON & WANTS TO FORGET THEM WHILE THEY SERVE THEIR TIME .
    WHAT MANY FAIL TO REALIZE S THAT THESE ARE ABUSED VULNERABLE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BELONG TO SOMETHING BE IT A GANG OR GROUP OF SOME SORT !
