Austrian Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz, who is known for his Islamophobic and anti-Turkey stance, threatened to shut down one of the biggest mosques in Vienna and urged municipal authorities to be stricter regarding state subsidies for the organizations belonging to Muslim minorities.
Kurz is not “Islamophobic.” Nor is he “anti-Turkey” for no apparent reason. These charges are a tired, oft-used trick of Islamic supremacists and leftists: blaming non-Muslim leaders simply for doing their duty to protect their citizens. Turkey has become increasingly aggressive under its despotic President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has called for “an army of Islam” to obliterate Israel and has even stated that he wants to recover the territory formerly held by the Ottoman Empire.
Rejecting the reckless, suicidal policies of the EU, Kurz has vowed to resist the hijrah and work with Hungarian leader Viktor Orban. It is no wonder that he is now smeared as an “Islamophobe.” It goes like this: surrender to Islamic supremacy, you infidels, or else you are “Islamophobes” and “racists.”
This means that European nations are required to keep their borders open to the hijrah and stop resisting the application of sharia principles. Unfortunately, too many have already surrendered in order to avoid those labels of “Islamophobe” and “racist.” Meanwhile, all too many Muslims are free to rape infidels, torture girls with FGM, marry off child brides, subjugate women, persecute Christians and minorities, lop off heads, anything.
European leaders would rather invite into their countries the abuses practiced in Islamic states and usher in deadly jihad attacks rather than practice due diligence in immigration policy. Their focus is entirely on getting votes. They have no respect for the lives that have been sacrificed for freedom, or for their duty to protect their own citizens.
Kudos to the “Islamophobe” and “anti-Turkey” Kurz. Reasonable individuals do not support anti-Muslim bigotry, but they do resist the Islamic supremacist stratagem of forcing what are in effect Sharia blasphemy laws upon free societies. Free societies must protect the right to offend all ideologies, and that includes Islam, contrary to the immutable decree of Islamic law that Islam must not be challenged.
“Austrian PM Kurz threatens to close mosque, urges stricter funding for Muslim organizations,” A News, April 20, 2018:
Austrian Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz, who is known for his Islamophobic and anti-Turkey stance, threatened to shut down one of the biggest mosques in Vienna and urged municipal authorities to be stricter regarding state subsidies for the organizations belonging to Muslim minorities.
Austria’s anti-Turkey Chancellor Sebastian Kurz threatened to close one of the biggest mosques in Vienna and urged municipal authorities to be stricter regarding state subsidies for Muslim organizations in the city, reports said.
Kurz, who is known for his Islamophobic and anti-Turkey stance, criticized a commemoration event held in a Turkish mosque back in 2016, where children dressed up as Turkish soldiers took part in a reenactment of the World War I battle of Gallipoli.
“What took place… here has no place in Austria. There will be zero tolerance from the government,” Sebastian Kurz told reporters. “This government will deal with these negative developments with full force.”
The rightwing Kurz, 31, said that under Austrian law, the mosque could be closed.
His chief of staff Gernot Bluemel said on Tuesday that he had ordered the Kultusamt, the religious affairs authority, to conduct a “very thorough” probe.
The photos, published by the Falter weekly, showed the young boys in camouflage uniforms marching, saluting, waving Turkish flags and then playing dead.
The 1915-16 battle of Gallipoli, known as the Battle of Çanakkale in Turkish, saw the Ottomans resist an Allied invasion.
Turkey’s relations with Austria have long been strained, with Kurz calling on the European Union to break off negotiations on Ankara joining the bloc.
The young Austrian leader is the head of the conservative People’s Party of Austria (ÖVP) and was sworn in as prime minister on Dec. 18 after general elections in October. Earlier in December, a coalition was formed between Kurz’s ÖVP and the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) after eight weeks of intense negotiations. The FPÖ’s neo-Nazi connections caused concern in Austria and other EU countries. They have pledged to stop illegal immigration, cut taxes and resist EU centralization.
He recently came under fire after proposing to ban the Muslim headscarf in schools……

Ezra says
It really is too late. Europe – and increasingly all the rest of the West – has become effeminate, meaning it does not have the stones to do the necessary action to defeat the satanic moslem tide that has engulfed it. It will NOT reverse because it is all prophesied in Holy Scripture as a prelude to the Great Tribulation where the Church is removed from earth. The Church? Most people no longer even know what or where or who that is, hence the present troubles.

Ezra, why do you think that the thing to do here is to preach surrender?
Raymond Jones says
In America there are 31 jihad camps, 3,100 mosques, this is just the beginning of our problem, under Obama the Muslim Brotherhood moved in, C.A.I.R grew as did the M.O.A, the F.B.I did nothing to slow down these camps, our government sold them the land to raise these camps. There is not one Christian Church standing in the Mideast, there are Catholic Churches however because these two were tied together in the murder of 6 million Jews in WW 2, the Pope in the late 30’s had over 700 thousand Kurds or it was Serbians along with 60 thousand Jews murdered, Islam has ties to the Satanic Catholic Church. The Catholics were the ones who invented the Yellow Star. Read the history. Islam is a world problem. President Trump said ISIS is about done, well they are here in America waiting for orders, they have weapons they get from gun shows, the somehow got their hands on some C 4, you can see them training on you tube and soon you will see them in action on our streets this is why the Democrats want our guns so we can’t fight back, this was the plan Hillary and Obama had in the makings, this is why he paid for a house in D C, The enemy is here, we must defeat them, we need to stop going overseas and fight for their freedom, they have enough men to be sent back to their country to fight for their own freedom, who foot the bill for our wounded Vets? they don’t! Like Trump said, the Muslim Nations have plenty money, let them fight their own war and bring our troops home

You are right, Kurz is remarkable.
He is full of contradictions.
On the one hand he wants to close down this mosque and stop mass migration.
But on the other hand he is a fan of resettlemt programs. He wants to change illegal migration into legal migration – just as Merkel.
I must confess, I do not trust him.

I really like Christine Douglass-Williams but I wish she wouldn’t use the term anti-Muslim bigotry. Since Islam is objectively evil and Islam’s inventor and role model was a sociopath being anti -Muslim means you have reasonable standards as to what is acceptable. There is nothing bigoted about that. Muslims who want non-Muslims to think well of them should just leave Islam rather than demand that we embrace adherents of an evil ideology.

The evils of islam would go nowhere if not for the moslims supporting ti, spreading it, killing for it.
To oppose this is not racism or bigotry. it is common sense, and the moral, the right, the just, thing to do.
Resist evil. Resist the devil. The barracks of islam are houses for fomenting evil. Nothing good ever happens inside them. Nothing. Only evil things go on inside them.

Larry A. Singleton says
I just posted on a News Fakebook page. Posting here with your friends is nice. But take the fight to the enemy: (I won’t hold my breath waiting for a “Reply”)
Letter to a News 4-21-18
This from a “News”:
“Austrian PM Kurz threatens to close mosque, urges stricter funding for Muslim organizations-Austrian Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz, who is known for his Islamophobic and anti-Turkey stance, threatened to shut down one of the biggest mosques in Vienna…”
You know how you can spot a useful idiot? Whenever the word “Islamophobia” comes out of his mouth.
Like the NY Times, CNN and other leftist rags, their target audience are those too stupid and too lazy to study the issues and READ. Like this from the Gatestone Institute; Turkey Targeting Greece-Again by Uzay Bulut. Our enemies and especially Jew haters are always the “victim” in their telling of things.
I’ve practically made a career of challenging these “reporters” who smear those who tell the truth about Muslims and Islam.
I started studying Islam about eight years ago after I happened to read two books back to back; Because They Hate by Brigitte Gabriel and The Haj by Leon Uris. The Haj clued me in to the farce that is this Palestinian “right of return”. As a matter of fact you could also put the word “Palestinian” in scare quotes because “Palestinians” are as big a myth and a fraud as this “right of return” is.
I won’t go into it but somehow I decided that I would learn about this “Islam thing” for myself and bought a bunch of Islamic “holy” books, namely a Summarized Sahih Al-Bukhari in which I found an article on “Jihad” written by an ex-chief justice of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid. And “Holy War” is in the title of this article.
Submitted in a book considered second only to the Koran almost as an Introduction.
From the start I was never able to get any answers to my questions when I emailed the publishers Darussalam and its “manager” Abdul Malik Mujahid of Sound Vision. As a matter of fact I was just blocked on Sound Vision’s Fakebook page for asking this very question and posting the facts about Islam I’ve learned in the last eight years. This is how Muslims and liberals debate; They shut you down and try to silence you.
And this farce: “Palestinian boy, 15, becomes latest victim of Israeli violence in the Gaza Strip–Israeli forces kill 4 Palestinian protesters in Gaza”.
Here’s an article from the Gatestone Institute I read just this morning:
Hamas “Press Office”: Truth Finishes Last by Bassam Tawil.
a “News” probably got most of its information from some Palestinian source, probably even a Pale “reporter”. Which is about as dependable as the NY Times and CNN when it comes to all things “Israel”. As well as their “anonymous sources” that feed them info they’ve put into print they’ve have to retract time after time after time.
The useful idiots have never heard of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) or MEMRI; Middle East Media Research Institute. And not in their wildest dreams would they consider ever checking them out. But nonetheless that’s where you’ll find the truth when it comes to these Pale “peace marches” and “demonstrations.
And Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch is a four letter word to these liberals yet I invite you to go to the website and scroll down the list of articles.
Usually Robert posts those leftist articles and their links preceded by a short but valuable and informative commentary.
THE person I rely on when it comes to all things “Israel” is Caroline Glick. Another name you’ll never see at a “News.
My new “morning paper” is FrontPage Magazine. I’ve stopped reading my local rags here in Riverside and San Bernardino, California. They’re nothing but NY Times clones.
FrontPage has articles on a number of issues including those about “Islam” and “Palestinians”.
I was once called a “racist” by a Hispanic city councilman and told that I “had too much time on my hands” by the mayor of San Bernardino.
Years ago I used to go raise hell and “fight city hall” at local city and county meetings in San Bernardino. Does the name sound familiar?
This is where that husband and wife jihadi team slaughtered 14 of their co-workers. I was the only person to speak out and mention “Islamic terrorism” during public comment at the city council meeting directly after the terrorist attack. Before the bodies were even cold both the city and police crawled on their bellies to the terrorist’s mosque, later found to have links to terrorist groups, to “reassure” those Muslims that THEY had “nothing to worry about” insofar as a “backlash” was concerned.
If you want a really good book that covers these “Palestinian” issues, read Alan Dershowitiz’s “The Case for Israel”. Glick’s book “The Israeli Solution” is good to as it refers to what happened during Israel’s Independence, particularly how it relates to the United Nations.
Again, you’ll never see any of this in rags like this a “News”. (What kind of friggin’ name is “a News”?)
“A 15-year-old boy and three other Palestinians on Friday were killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, becoming the latest victims of the Israeli military’s violence against unarmed protesters during the fourth round of weekly protests.”
This is about as sick and deceptive piece of “journalism” as you’ll ever read. I have no doubt that today or tomorrow I’ll be able to go to Gatestone to learn the real facts about this “victim”.
Palestinian children are raised from birth to hate and murder Jews. I could post all day long about the UNRWA schools paid for by American and European taxpayers who teach their children how to be “martyrs” and “holy warriors”. “Summer Camp” for these children are dressing them up with military outfits, toy guns and faux bombs they wrap around their tiny chests. Basically a terrorist boot camp for kindergartners.
Again; you can learn all this from PMW or simply order their book “Deception: Betrayal of the Peace Process” where you’ll learn how, with the help of Mark Zuckerberg, they post official Hamas Facebook pages of schools named after terrorists and suicide bombers who have slaughtered women and children on school buses.
People like me, who read, and seriously study the issues logically ask: “What sane person would want a society of murderers as their ‘neighbors’”?
This “15-year-old boy” isn’t the kind of by you’ll see on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood program. He was trained and indoctrinated to hate Jews and operate as a Jew killing machine. Whose sole purpose in life is as a “martyr” in the “Hereafter” and “Paradise”.
It’s all in their “holy book” the “Holy Qur’an” which none of these “reporters has ever read, let alone the “hadiths” that are Bukhari and Muslim.

…a former Secretary of State, and founding fathers of the United States. Wrote about his dealings with the ‘Barbary Pirates’, who were also Muslims in his ‘Essay of Islam’ which he’s said;
“Such is the spirit, which governs the hearts of men. To whom ‘treachery’, and ‘violence’, are taught as principles of religion”-Quincy Adams
To which I have to ask the question. Given all we have seen in the 21st century from Islam. What has changed?
“My way of life is an American way of life, that requires a never-ending devotion too, the idea of, and practice of ‘freedom’. Being aware of yourself, looking after your brothers, sisters, and partners at all times”-Sonny Barger

Empty threats to appease the masses who voted for him. Nothing more. For if he really cared about Austria. He wouldn’t simply be ‘urging’ municipal authorities to be “stricter” regarding state subsidies for Muslim organizations. He would have stopped said subsidies altogether. Islamic nations don’t subsidise Christian churches or Jewish Synagogues. They either convert them to Mosques. Or pillage their wealth, then burn them to the ground. So why should a Christian state do the opposite? Especially when empirical evidence has repeatedly shown what is actually preached in those confounded buildings founded upon genuine racism, xenophobia, hatred & terror.

Hey, Ibby, you brain-washed zombie, muslims ALWAYS find “justification” for jihad fighting, and this justification boils down to just one thing: the mere existence of anyone not following mo’s putrid creed.

This “place of worship” was threatening Austria with violent Muslim conquest. Of course, Ibrahim itace muhammed has said before that Infidels have no right to defent against Jihad in any way.
And what is the condition of Al Aqsa Mosque? It is under the control of its own Islamic Waqf, and Jewish prayers are not even allowed on the Temple Mount.
Of course, none of this is enough for supremacist Muslims, who will not be happy until they have destroyed civilized Israel.
Ibrahim itace muhammed has himself said that he wants to personally take part in the genocide of the Jews.

Well, everything in this post is ridiculously false. No, Jews and Christians do not worship the pagan goddess Ashera, nor do they believe that God is married. Our Lady of Fatima has nothing to do with Ashera, either.
And who knows what this idiocy of his about Christians wearing “winged gowns” and believing they can jump up to heaven? There is no such Christian belief.
