The National Council is the lower house of the Austrian parliament. The third president of the National Council is the head of the nation’s third-largest party. If Norbert Hofer had said that the Bible was more dangerous than coronavirus, he would be hailed as courageous and heroic by the very people who want to prosecute him now.
“Public prosecutor for Hofer’s indictment for criticism of Islam,” translated from “Staatsanwaltschaft für Hofers Auslieferung wegen Islam-Kritik,” Unser Tirol 24, September 28, 2020 (thanks to Medforth):
The investigative authorities are concerned over the statements of the Third National Council President and FPÖ boss Norbert Hofer about the Koran. The Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office has made a request to the National Council to consent to official prosecution, the APA learned from the House. It has not yet been determined when the Immunity Committee will decide on lifting parliamentary immunity….
In June, at a demonstration by the Freedom Party at Viktor-Adler-Markt, Hofer said that the Muslim Holy Book was more dangerous than the corona virus: “I am not afraid of Corona, Corona is not dangerous. The Koran is more dangerous, my friends, than Corona.”

Truth should be an absolute defense, right?

If the Muslims succeed in criminalizing criticism of Islam, then they’ll have a very powerful weapon to use against anyone that opposes this dangerous backwards, 7th century death cult.
They’ll eventually jail or possibly kill all the “Islamophobes” until there will be no opposition left. Muslims will then very rapidly take state power since to oppose an Islamic party would be a crime.
Once they are in power, they’ll use govt forces like intelligence/cops/military, to hunt down anyone else that not just opposes Islam but refuses to convert. Recall the Nazis did the same thing to opponents of their regime.
Freedom of speech is the line in the sand against Muslims and the western traitors on both the Left and Right who support the Islamic agenda. If we fail to stand up in the West on this fundamental freedom to criticize fascist, totalitarian ideologies, we’ll lose all other freedoms entirely. It will mean the death of western civilization.
This is a battle between those non-Muslims who understand Islam and those who are ignorant and foolishly come to Islam’s defense. Some of them (mostly on the Left) even know that Islam is pure evil, but they think they can get Muslims to change by placating them.
To say that Islam is worse than covid unfortunately does little to educate the those who know nothing about this ideology. There needs to be a public discussion, esp. in mainstream media about this ideology.
If non-Muslims knew what Sharia law meant for their lives and that Islam’s goal is to take away all our rights and freedoms and turn over land/power to Muslims, then I’m sure more than 90% of non-Muslims would wake up and oppose Islam and that would bring about its end. So politicians like Hofer need to do more than just criticize, they need to educate others.

Scientists have recently uncovered what is believed to be the first completed edition of the Koran.
Turns out it was a giant colouring book with naked pictures of 9 year-old-girls.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
…a coloring book
lol–yes, and I bet it was covered in semen.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Sorry everyone, I usually don’t laugh at child abuse humor. It just struck me as funny at the moment. Just pretend I didn’t say it.
gravenimage says
Agostino, note the eddie is not actually opposed to the horrors of Islam. He just likes trolling us here. If he had ever actually said anything against the Islamic rape of children–as you certainly have–then this would be very different. I don’t mind your laughing at this, even thought the humor is very dark. eddie is a different matter.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Thanks Graven, I’ll keep what you said in mind.

Thank you, Agostino.

Thanks Michael for these truthful quotes.
One discovers what mess we’re in when a beyond obvious statement- “the Koran is more dangerous than coronavirus” gets one persecited in the west.

Important quotes.

Does the Public Prosecutor think “Kill them wherever you find them” is an instruction of Peace?
Chrissie01 says
Folks, I am so dead tired of living in a time when – on the political stage, but also elsewhere – you hear the truth about once in a while, but floor, ceiling and wall are plastered with the most impertinant lies in big print…
lies a decent human being has no capacity of inventing.
gravenimage says
I know how you feel, Chrissie. Truth is more important than ever in a time of lies.
DavidR says
It is uncivilized to silence the people warning of real threats to civilization.
eduardo odraude says
What’s the big deal about saying the Koran is dangerous? Doesn’t the Austrian government censor Mein Kampf as a dangerous book?
The solution to bad speech is not censorship, but more speech.
RichardL says
I commented on the government center in Austria that was supposedly for combating political islam and reminded everyone that one of the guys running it is the Qatar-bought Swiss academic Lorenzo Vidino. Kurz is the Macron of Austria: a deep state plant. The FPÖ is the only party that is for Austrians and thus must be destroyed and therefore they indict Hofer

Sharia Austria: Public prosecutors want to indict politician for criticism of Islam
………………….
Terrifying crushing of freedom of speech. That he told the truth makes this all the worse.
Ray Jarman says
+1 GI,
How about the line, “…National Council to consent to official ‘prosecution,’ the APA learned from the House. It should have read “official persecution.”
gravenimage says
Yes, that’s what this is, Ray.
David Sealey says
He’s right and they’re intent on proving him to be.
End PC says
How ironic as it was at the Battle of Vienna, Austria, 1683 that the Koran observant Ottomans where defeated in their attempt to conquer, plunder & subjugate all of Europe. What could be more obvious to Europe than that the Koran is extremely dangerous.
Chrissie01 says
You are right, I also wonder.
People are brainwashed and made to forget to the point of cretinism.

this the letter written by the Sultan Mehmet to the Zaporozhian Cossacks:
As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God Himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians – I command you, the Zaporogian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.
— Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV
The Sultan got an immediate reply which read (enjoy!):
Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!
O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil’s kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.
Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig’s snout, mare’s arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won’t even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we’ll conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t own a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
— Koshovyi otaman Ivan Sirko, with the whole Zaporozhian Host
