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.

One of these days I’m going to snap from hearing “right-wing” too much and kill a hipster. Not really. I’ll just yell out loud.

Austria is showing signs of having some self-preservation after all.
