Austria: government calls for “restrictive asylum policy” amid growing crime rate

Jan 11, 2018 6:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The number of crimes committed by “foreigners” in Austria increased to 40 percent of the total in 2016, a new government report says. Interior Minister Herbert Kickl says a “strict asylum policy” is needed to tackle the issue.

Muslim migrants have caused Austrians to live in daily fear as their gangs are attacking innocent people.

Most offenders are primarily Afghans, Chechens and North Africans; but much like the “Asian” “grooming gangs” of the UK (aka Muslim rape gangs), many reports (including the one below) avoid mentioning the identity of the perpetrators so as to be politically correct, despite the threat these offenders pose.

Since 2015, the country has taken in some 150,000 asylum seekers, which accounts for over 1 percent of its population, one of the largest shares per capita alongside Sweden.

Sweden is now on the verge of civil war with its out-of-control crimes and Muslim no-go zones. Austria has also been learning the hard way. The country was “among the first countries in Europe to put out the welcome mat….now, its focus is showing them the door.”

“Austrian govt calls for ‘restrictive asylum policy’ amid growing foreign crime rate”, RT News, January 10, 2018:

The number of crimes committed by “foreigners” in Austria increased to 40 percent of the total in 2016, a new government report says. Interior Minister Herbert Kickl says a “strict asylum policy” is needed to tackle the issue.

In 2016, some 500,000 offenses were registered in Austria, with 40 percent of them being committed by “foreigners,” a new security report presented by the Interior Ministry says. According to Kickl, the number of foreign offenders increased by 13 percent.

The Austrian vice chancellor and head of the right-wing populist Freedom Party (FPO), Heinz-Christian Strache, also told journalists following the government meeting that asylum seekers accounted for almost 46 percent of foreign offenders. He described the figure as “significant” and called for a stricter refugee policy.

“This shows that those who come to us to allegedly seek protection are also those from whom we then have to protect the Austrian people,” Strache said, as cited by the Kronen Zeitung daily. Kickl and Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, the head of the conservative People’s Party (OVP), have both called for a “tough” and “restrictive” asylum policy.

Ahead of the government meeting, Kickl told the Austrian ORF broadcaster that “a restrictive asylum policy is absolutely necessary” in the view of the latest security data. He went on to say that it should be particularly aimed at “preventing large masses of people from coming into [our] country in an uncontrollable manner.”

Kickl particularly called for accelerated asylum proceedings and deportation of failed asylum seekers. Other measures proposed by the minister include allowing the authorities to access refugees’ smartphones as well as introducing mandatory age checks for asylum seekers.

Following the government meeting on Wednesday, Kurz and Strache also said that they would stick to their election promises and enhance security in Austria. The new government was sworn in last month, swaying sharply to the right of the political spectrum with the inclusion of the FPO in the coalition.

In October’s parliamentary election, the FPO, known for its hardline anti-immigrant stance, came in third with 26 percent of the vote. Strache’s party clinched a deal to form a coalition with the OVP led by Kurz, who also took a more hardline stance on immigration.

Anti-immigrant sentiment appeared to grow in Austria after it was overwhelmed by a wave of asylum seekers fleeing war and persecution during the refugee crisis. Since 2015, the country has taken in some 150,000 asylum seekers, which accounts for over 1 percent of its population, one of the largest shares per capita alongside Sweden….

    “This shows that those who come to us to allegedly seek protection are also those from whom we then have to protect the Austrian people,”

    So it is possible for some politicians to see what’s happening and also speak the truth about it…

    Austria needs new laws to deal with the crime. Asylum seekers who break serious laws or are repeat offenders should lose their rights and be deported back to their countries of origin.

    “The number of crimes committed by “foreigners” in Austria increased to 40 percent of the total in 2016, a new government report says. Interior Minister Herbert Kickl says a “strict asylum policy” is needed to tackle the issue”
    And what was the percent of crimes committed by ”2nd generation” foreigners, who would no longer be counted as ”foreigners” but are still muslims? Bet ya that number is pretty high also.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Jan 11, 2018 at 8:51 am

      Good point, Roberta. The number of 2nd gen Muslim offenders is indeed significant across Europe, but of course the authorities try to hide this inconvenient truth.

    • WorkingClassPost says

      Jan 11, 2018 at 10:52 am

      Yes, and the ones who have been granted ‘citizenship’ are probably no longer counted as foreigners either.

    This is the same Austria??????
    Copied from the Jerusalem Post.
    “The Vienna police are pursuing criminal charges against three pro-Israel activists for waving an Israeli flag in protest of anti-Semitic slogans at a demonstration against Jerusalem having been recognized by the US as the capital of the Jewish state.
    The police are seeking a €100 fine or two days in jail for the activists, who showed support for Israel at the December 8 anti-Israel rally near the US Embassy in Austria’s capital.”
    There we see part of the problem. The EU supports the Arabs at the expense of Israel every time. The Arabs’ Muslim brothers are carrying out crime in Austria in accordance with their religious laws, but the Israelis, upon whose laws the laws of individual European countries are based, they have to be vilified and fined.
    There are none so blind as those who will not see.

      Most Western governments have schizophrenic, contradictory policies regarding Islam, since none of them really grasp the the threat in an organized sense. I still welcome the above.

    Much as I would like Robert Spencer’s book on freedom of speech, I’m afraid it would depress me to get further evidence of suppression of democracy.The quoted blurb says it all ““Stay Quiet and You’ll Be Okay” That’s what Mohamed Atta told the doomed airline passengers on 9/11. And we still hear the exact same message today, from the powerful but shadowy lobby that is working behind the scenes to gut the First Amendment and prohibit “hate speech”—or any criticism—of Islam”.

    FAKE NEWS !

    False Myth that Muslims come to Europe and Christian regions as “Civilizers” !!!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited:
    The History of a Controversy
    by Emmet Scott (Author)

    During the 1920s Belgian historian Henri Pirenne came to an astonishing conclusion:

    …the ancient classical civilization, which Rome had established throughout Europe and the Mediterranean world, was not destroyed by the Barbarians who invaded the western provinces in the fifth century, it was destroyed by the Arabs, whose conquest of the Middle East and North Africa terminated Roman civilization in those regions and cut off Europe from any further trading and cultural contact with the East.

    According to Pirenne, it was only in the mid-seventh century that the characteristic features of classical life disappeared from Europe, after which time the continent began to develop its own distinctive and somewhat primitive medieval culture.

    Pirenne’s findings, published posthumously in his Mohammed et Charlemagne (1937), were even then highly controversial, for by the late nineteenth century many historians were moving towards a quite different conclusion: namely that the Arabs were actually a civilizing force who rekindled the light of classical learning in Europe after it had been extinguished by the Goths, Vandals and Huns in the fifth century.

    And because Pirenne went so diametrically against the grain of this thinking, the reception of his new thesis tended to be hostile.

    Paper after paper published during the 1940s and ‘50s strove to refute him. The most definitive rebuttal however appeared in the early 1980s. This was Mohammed, Charlemagne and the Origins of Europe, by English archaeologists Richard Hodges and David Whitehouse. These, in common with Pirenne’s earlier critics, argued that classical civilization was already dead in Europe by the time of the Arab conquests, and that the Arabs arrived on the scene as civilizers rather than destroyers.

      Thankyou for this info.

      Dr Bill Warner has a video explaining how it was the Muslims, not the ‘barbarians’ who destroyed classical civilisation. Quite an eye-opener.

      We have been told so many lies. And they’re still lying to us.

      Pirenne’s work is excellent.

      There is no doubt that both the barbarian invasions and internal problems weakened Rome, but it was the Islamic invasions and the blockage of the Mediterranean that delivered the death blow to that great civilization.
