Austria to shut down mosques, expel foreign-funded imams

VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria’s right-wing government plans to shut seven mosques and could expel dozens of imams in what it said was “just the beginning” of a push against radical Islam and foreign funding of religious groups that Turkey condemned as racist.

The coalition government, an alliance of conservatives and the far right, came to power soon after Europe’s migration crisis on promises to prevent another influx and restrict benefits for new immigrants and refugees.

The moves follow a “law on Islam”, passed in 2015, which banned foreign funding of religious groups and created a duty for Muslim organizations to have “a positive fundamental view towards (Austria’s) state and society”.

“Political Islam’s parallel societies and radicalizing tendencies have no place in our country,” said Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who, in a previous job as minister in charge of integration, steered the Islam bill into law.

The Dems will probably want to give the imams asylum.

IMHO the only positive view a Muslim should have is believing there is only one God and Muhammad is his prophet and anyone not a Muslim should be subjugated ,converted or Killed.

Having a positive fundamental view towards a non-Mulim state or society is an affront to Allah and the last thing a Muslim should engage in.Tom

They should have learned the lesson of 1683 before they let them in this time.

Austria is about 8% mohammedan, which is the highest in Western Europe.

Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary have <0.3%.

The sanity from eastern Europe is starting to spread westward. Italy and Austria are definitely on board, Germany is teetering.

Jesus urged his followers to pray in a closet, but we see Muslims form mobs & pray in the middle of public streets.....and they are facing Mecca in Saudi Arabia, where Mohammed lived by the sword & conquered with an army of 10,000 murderous , slave-taking, raping, polygamist males.

This is really, really winning!

When will the US ban Saudi Arabia from building Mosques in the US? They have been doing it for a very long time. Disappeared from the media... When does that stop?
