Austria: Mosques Dissolved, Raided After Radical Islamic Terror Attack
More about the mosques seen in this story from two days ago.
[Breitbart] Following the terrorist attack in Vienna earlier this week, the Austrian government has raided and dissolved two radical mosques linked to radical Islam.

Culture Minister Susanne Raab and Interior Minister Karl Nehammer announced the closure of the mosques on Friday, one of which is said to have contributed to the radicalisation of the Vienna gunman who killed four people on Monday.

Minister Raab defended the closures stating, "It is not an attack against the members of a religious community, but it is a common fight against the abuse of a religion by radicals."

According to a report from newspaper Kronen Zeitung, the gunman was active in two mosques in the Austrian capital.

The first, the Tewhid Mosque located in the district of Meidling, was raided Friday morning by police and the Vienna special police unit WEGA but so far no information has been released regarding possible arrests made during the raid.

The mosque was under the jurisdiction of the Islamic Religious Community (IGGÖ), the largest Islamic community organisation in Austria. The group has been criticised int he past for its connections to Turkey and alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Oh? How very useful to know.
The IGGÖ, meanwhile, have condemned the Vienna terrorist attack, and its president, Ümit Vural stated: “This is an ideology that approves of violence, that dehumanises and which we deeply reject.”
No doubt. The taqqiya is deep in this one.
The Melit Ibrahim Mosque, located in the district of Ottakring, was also dissolved, according to Raab, and is believed to have played a part in the radicalisation of the Vienna terrorist.

According to Kronen Zeitung, the mosque was also attended regularly by Albanian-born Lorzenz K., who was sentenced to nine years in prison after his arrest in 2017 for plotting a terrorist attack and being a member of the Islamic State terrorist group.

Lorenz K. was back in court in September of this year after he had threatened to behead a fellow inmate who he stated was not a real Muslim.

#1  When Qaddafi seized power in Libya in 1969 investor Yusuf Nada fled Austria where he soon made a fortune wholesaling building materials, and there became interested in banking -- a business in which Muslims played little part. He formed a relationship with the CA Bankverein of Vienna, and as a banker employed strict Islamist principles -- one of the first Muslims to do so in Europe. In 1970 Nada approached wealthy principles in Saudi Arabia, and with the help of Egyptian Muslim brothers his Austrian firm opened an outlet in Riyadh. Nada then remained active in Arab banking, and in Egypt he helped open one of that nation's first Islamic banks. And the history of Islamic banking continues from there.
