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

Islamic Faith Community of Austria complains that counterterror measures foster ‘Islamophobia’

Nov 18, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 18 Comments

This same claim has been advanced in the U.S. and in countries in Europe besides Austria. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find a counterterror measure that an Islamic group did not decry as “Islamophobic,” except for those that deny outright any Islamic content to the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism. This charge […]

Austria’s Kurz and Germany’s Merkel On Collision Course About How to Oppose Jihad Terror

Nov 17, 2020 8:00 pm By Robert Spencer 33 Comments

Coming soon: an ideological Anchluss and silencing of the Austrian. My latest in FrontPage: Robert Spencer is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.  The German-language Austrian publication Kronen Zeitung reported Tuesday that Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz flew to Paris in order to “coordinate ‘on a European level’ with French President Emmanuel Macron on […]

Austria’s Kurz: Fight ‘ideological basis’ of terrorism. Merkel: It’s not a conflict between Islam and Christianity.

Nov 15, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 32 Comments

European leaders met in a video conference to coordinate the “fight against political Islam” and quickly made clear that their fight is foredoomed. “Kurz would like to fight above all the ideological basis behind the terror.” All right. But then Merkel “declared that terrorism is not a conflict between Islam and Christianity. ‘Every form of […]

Austria: Government to ban political Islam, shut down jihadi mosques

Nov 12, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 37 Comments

Expect the usual cries of “Islamophobia” and “collective punishment.” The same people who have been telling us for years that Islam has no essential political component and is perfectly compatible with Western secular government will turn on a dime and insist that to restrict political Islam is to restrict Islam itself, and is thus “racist” […]

Austria’s Kurz: ‘I expect an end to the wrongly understood tolerance in all European countries’

Nov 8, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 37 Comments

Kurz says: “I expect an end to the wrongly understood tolerance … in all European countries.” He also says that “political Islam” endangers “our freedom” and the “European model of life.” At the same time, however, he says there is only “one culprit” who is guilty of the jihad terror attack in Vienna. Now that […]

Austria: Chancellor says attempts to force EU countries to take migrants ‘has failed’ and ‘won’t work’

Sep 30, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 23 Comments

Jihad Watch previously reported that the European Commission president proposed new EU asylum rules to force member states to take migrants. Only they weren’t so new, since the EU has never wavered in its globalist agenda and favoring of the UN Migration Pact. The migrant agenda was only temporarily put on hold because of the […]

Austria announces plan to carry out surveillance on Muslim associations

Jul 31, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Kudos to the Austrian government. It is admirable to see a Western country prioritize the well-being of its citizens over political correctness and reject the prevailing cowardice in the face of Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood lobbies. Austria’s Sebastian Kurz’s People’s Party and Green Party government “is preparing to institute a controversial surveillance program on Muslims […]

Turks fight Kurdish Leftists and Antifa in Vienna, Austrian Chancellor accuses Erdogan of stoking tensions in EU

Jul 4, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz “has accused Turkey of sowing strife in Europe” after members of the Turkish Grey Wolves, an ultra-nationalist Turkish political organization, “clashed with Kurdish leftists and their Antifa allies in Vienna.” This is nothing new. “In 2016, the two groups clashed in the city of Duisburg and both Turks and Kurds briefly […]

Austria: New coalition government announces new measures to curb “political Islam,” including headscarf ban

Jan 10, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Austria’s new coalition government — dubbed by CNN as “a balance of far right and environmental policies” — has announced new measures against “political Islam.” “The measures include a ban on Islamic headscarves for girls until they reach the age of 14 and a provision for putting potentially dangerous individuals in ‘protective custody’ to prevent […]

Austrian Chancellor says Europe’s attitude toward migration has changed since 2015

Nov 26, 2018 9:14 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

One of the arguments for mass migration, particularly in the wake of the migrant crisis, was the need for more migrants to counter the declining birthrates in Western European countries. Since the crisis, some countries, like Sweden and Germany, have seen population growth almost solely driven by mass migration. There is no denying that Europe […]

Trouble for EU: New rotating president Austria adopts hardline approach to immigration

Jun 27, 2018 5:56 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Austria is about to assume the six-month rotating presidency of the European Union on July 1. This offers a glimmer of hope, given the suicidal direction of the EU in its open border immigration policy. As the new council president,  Austria is adopting a hardline approach to the Muslim migrant crisis: Afghans, Africans and Syrians […]

Austria’s chancellor gets death threats after closing down mosques

Jun 13, 2018 9:09 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

An anti-terrorism probe has been opened into death threats Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz received on social media after his government announced a crackdown on hate preaching and “political Islam.” This is all the more reason for Western countries to target Islamic hate preaching, and to crack down on mosques receiving funding from Muslim nations. Such […]

Austria to close 7 mosques, expel imams in crackdown on “political Islam” and foreign financing of mosques

Bravo. “Austria to close 7 mosques, expel imams in crackdown,” Associated Press, June 8, 2018: BERLIN – Austria’s government is closing seven mosques and plans to expel imams in a crackdown on “political Islam” and foreign financing of mosques.

Swiss senate rejects ban on foreign funding of mosques

Jun 8, 2018 1:04 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Swiss senate has voted 29 to 7 against a motion calling for a ban of foreign funding of mosques. The proposal, modelled on rules already in place in Austria, would also have seen imams required to preach in a Swiss national language while compelling Islamic centres to disclose the origin of any funding. The […]

Austrian PM threatens to close one of Vienna’s largest mosques after it has children dress up as Turkish soldiers

Apr 21, 2018 11:02 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

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 […]

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: 60% of Muslim migrants want jokes about Islam to be banned

Aug 12, 2017 12:59 pm By Robert Spencer

At a certain point, Austria, and all of Europe of North America, is going to have to stand up and defend the principle of the freedom of speech as the indispensable prerequisite of a free society, or lose it altogether. Right now, the latter looks much more likely. By the way, what do you call […]

Muna Duzdar, who is Muslim and from the Social Democratic Party (SPO), said that she was open to “discussions about this but in reality one cannot pick individual religions. If you discuss religious dress and symbols, you have to speak about all religions.” However, one does not hear bellows of discontent from other religions as […]

Every second schoolchild in Vienna not a native speaker

Feb 18, 2016 9:52 am By Robert Spencer

This means that in a generation, more or less, Austria will essentially be finished as a state based on Judeo-Christian values. This need not be the case if a concerted effort were being made to inculcate those values into the immigrants, but no such effort is being made, and those who should be calling for […]

Austria passes law on Islam, banning foreign funding and requiring imams to speak German

Feb 25, 2015 3:34 pm By Robert Spencer

“We want a future in which increasing numbers of imams have grown up in Austria speaking German, and can in that way serve as positive examples for young Muslims.” Are they unable to recruit for jihad in German? This measure is largely cosmetic, but at least it is something, rather than nothing at all, which […]
