A little over a century ago, the ancestors of modern Austrians were at the vanguard of religious liberty in Europe, giving their small Muslim community the same rights as Christians or Jews.
Today, the much larger and rapidly growing Muslim population of Austria sees their country again setting the tone in Europe — but this time in a far more ominous direction.
In Sunday’s election, well over half the country’s voters chose parties that defined themselves by their hard-line stances on immigration, integration and multiculturalism.
The third-place finisher, the Freedom Party, campaigned on the proposition that Islam is incompatible with Austrian values and an existential threat to Europe.
The leader of the vote-topping People’s Party and Austria’s likely next chancellor, 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz, doesn’t go that far. But he’s mimicked much of the Freedom Party’s rhetoric, lashing out at Muslim kindergartens, calling for rescued migrants to be sent back to Africa and promising sharply reduced benefits for newcomers.

I’m not sure why any Mulsims would be frightened by a “hard-right” turn by a government; they embrace the strictest religion in the world (from a civilized Western standpoint).
The artical is correct!
The Austrians have decided not to take the muzzie’s sh!t anymore.
the only good mooselimb is a dead mooselimb.
Good. Maybe Austria will expel all the women-molesters now.
I suppose the Freedom Party is technically the “third place party”.
But it went from 40 seats to 51 seats, just 1 seat short of the SPO (socialist party) that stayed at 52 seats.
It gets harder and harder to get your way by falsely accuse someone of being a Nazi the closer you get to people who still remember what the Nazis actually were and spent their lives being falsely accused of being Nazis.
Good. The poow wittle m*zzies are afwaid now! maybe the headchoppers go wunning back to their home hellholes and stop waping the innocent Austrians!
Time to go home!
Let us hope so.
Let them start experiencing GoodGuyphobia.
“It gets harder and harder to get your way by falsely accuse someone of being a Nazi the closer you get to people who still remember what the Nazis actually were and spent their lives being falsely accused of being Nazis.”
The WaPo folks, not having the benefit of real educations (being journalists) evidently have not learned the simple fact of who the Muslims backed in WWII.
Journalists are slime. Pure slime. Filted, cultured slime.
Sooner or later, we’re going to have to pull the flush handle.
They will never leave The Lands of Flushing Toilets.
