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

Austria stands with Visegrad group against Muslim migrant influx

Feb 1, 2018 5:24 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says he’s positioning his country as a bridge between the “Visegrad group” of eastern European nations and their western counterparts

This spells more trouble for the EU, given the announcement earlier this week that the Czech Republic was considering a “Czexit” (or “Czech-out”) referendum to leave the EU. Austria and the Visegrad group have been dedicated to public safety in the face of jihad attacks, mass rapes, no-go zones and escalating crimes that have been sweeping Europe since the influx of Muslim migrants. The Islamic State also made good on its promise to infiltrate the “refugee” stream.

“Kurz said he agreed with the Visegrad countries – Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – that a quota system for migrants was unworkable and on the need to strengthen external borders.” The Visegrad group has resolutely stood against the meddling of the EU, as the latter imposes its suicidal immigration policies, along with threats of sanctions. In mid-January, the Austrian government called for “restrictive asylum policy” due to escalating crime. Crimes committed by “foreigners” in Austria were 40 percent of the total in 2016, with most offenders being Muslim Afghans, Chechens and North Africans.

Despite all this, right before Christmas, the European Commission began Article 7 proceedings against Poland (aka the nuclear option) to suspend Poland of its voting rights in EU institutions. Hungarian leader Viktor Orban vowed to stand strong with Poland and not support such a move. Orban and Kurz have also pledged their support to each other.

Let’s hope that more European nations come to their senses as with Austria and the Visegrad group; otherwise, the EU faces imminent collapse due to its own recklessness and lack of appreciation for its own history, culture, and institutions.

“Austria’s New Right-Wing Chancellor Backs Hungary, Poland on Migrant Quotas,” Breitbart, January 30, 2018:

VIENNA (AP) – Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says he’s positioning his country as a bridge between the “Visegrad group” of eastern European nations and their western counterparts.
Kurz said he agreed with the Visegrad countries – Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – that a quota system for migrants was unworkable and on the need to strengthen external borders.

Speaking alongside Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Tuesday, Kurz said that “it’s in all of our interests that we work together.”

Orban says Europe’s border-free travel zone can only work with “radical” external border protections like the fence he had constructed…..

    More trouble for the EUSSR?

    BRING IT ON.

      StellaSaidSo-Thank you for your comment. I agree with you.

      One of my grandmothers came from Gussing, Austria to the US when she was 18. She had a green card. She was a hard working lady who never bothered anybody. She obeyed all the laws, learned the English language, and was hired to roll tobacco in a cigar factory. She met her future husband (my grandfather, who came from Neuruppin, Germany) at a beer hall on the upper East Side of Manhattan in a neighborhood called Yorkville!

      I am very proud that the government of Austria wants to keep its country’s national identity together.

        Thankyou, Linde, for sharing a little of your story. Your grandmother was a very brave lady! It is wonderful to see the countries of Europe standing up to the anti-democratic, globalist, totalitarian EU. The power is returning to the people!

        Hi, I am from India. We consider Austria and Poland very dearly. Let any country in EU become a Muslim nation. But when Austria becomes it hurts. I always remember how Austria stood up valiantly against Islamic invasion in the Vienna war. I always wanted to encourage Austrians to stand firm against the invasion. The new political eqation in Austria give a big hope.

          You shoul not be sanguine about any part of Europe becoming Muslim.

          France once did everyone a big favor and killed a bunch of invading muslims.

        Cannot say goodbye soon enough.

    I think these states should form an independent union of their own, while still leaving their national IDs intact… and make sure that not a single Muslim lives in their lands.

    Since the EU is by definition a multinational and multicultural enterprise, its architects are ardent internationalists and tend to support open borders. That rosy notion has bumped up against some unpleasant reality in the case of Islamic immigration, and the opposition is forming, thankfully.
    There has been a lot of criticism of the Austrian coalition because of its anti-Semitic history, but that seems to be behind it. In any case, pragmatism should prevail, not moral purity, as the stakes are high.

      I am glad that you think that the FPÖ is not anti-semitic and hope that more Jews take a look at the AfD and come to the same conclusion. I have been one of the first 400 AfD members and am a hardcore Zionist. The AfD is the only party in Germany that unapologetically stands with Israel and Jews.

      • eduardo odraude says

        Feb 1, 2018 at 12:38 pm

        Certainly the direction Europe has been going, with massive Muslim immigration, is anti-Semitic in effect though not necessarily in intent. If AfD stands unapologetically with Israel and the Jews, it is obvious that all Jews in Germany should join it. I hope FPO is also pro-Israel and against anti-Semitism.

    The EU won’t exist in ten years’ time. Brits will be relieved to be out of it first.

    Good.

    The fall of the EU is the only hope for Europe. It will be interesting if a new union will be formed in these eastern countries and what they will call themselves, and how long it will last before they become corrupt.

    Nice to see Brussels confronted with democracy. They may even end up doing antiquated things like compromising and taking the will of the people into consideration when forming policy.

    It seems Austria has finally gotten smart. Good for them

    Bah, Austrian government leads spineless two-sided politics to the point that not even Austrians themselves are aware of what their government wants to do (source: I know a couple of Austrians). On one side it wants to get along with their big brother Germany and EU so they adopt similar foreign policies concerning “migrants” (although not as suicidal), but on the other they are playing buddy-buddy with its Slavic neighbors who are strongly opposed to leftist EU madness. Basically Austria wants to have its cake and eat it too.

    Don’t get me wrong, this is a step in the right direction, but until I see some real action from Austria to prevent this mass uncontrolled muslim invasion, Visegrad-style, I won’t hold my breath.

      Understood, LB.

    Finally, the V5. The old Austro-Hungarian Empire has reconstituted itself into a union of five constitutional democracies. They, very likely, will save European culture.

    “Orban says Europe’s border-free travel zone can only work with “radical” external border protections like the fence he had constructed…..”

    This shouldn’t need saying. That it needs saying shows how radical the EU internationalists are, since, already having few borders internally, they seem to want o few borders globally.

    Good move from Austria, hope they can all see it through.
