Austria to Ban ‘Political Islam' in Wake of Europe Terror Attacks

2020-11-12

[Breitbart] Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz announced on Wednesday that his government will be creating new laws to prosecute those who propagate political Islamic ideologies.

The Austrian leader took to Twitter to announce Wednesday that the government would be creating a new criminal offence called "political Islam" to prosecute those who "create a breeding ground" for radical Islamic terrorism.

"In the fight against political Islam, we will create a criminal offence called ’political Islam’ in order to be able to take action against those who are not terrorists themselves, but who create the breeding ground for it," Kurz said.

In a subsequent Tweet, the Austrian chancellor said that there could be further closures of radical mosques, the introduction of a register for imams, and said that "measures will be taken to drain financial flows for terrorist financing."

I’m impressed.

The move comes after Kurz called on the European Union to combat the problem of radical Islamic ideologies following last week’s terrorist attack in Vienna that saw the deaths of four people killed by a radical Islamic gunman in the heart of the Austrian capital.

"Now, it is important that we resolutely continue the fight. Not only against Islamist terrorism but also against the ideological basis behind it — that is, against political Islam and radical Islamism," Kurz said last week.

#3 Hahaha! Good luck with that! It will just go into hibernation at best. I'm guessing nobody has read the Holy Crayon.

#1 Islam is all about governance according to sharia (siyasa shar'iyya), so the whole religion is 'political'.
