Austria has just made a new law: Muslim imams will no longer be able to conduct their sermons in Arabic, but in German; all Korans will now have to be written completely in German, and Muslim groups will no longer be able to accept foreign money.
The updated âLaw on Islam,â which was prepared by the coalition of the Social Democratic Party and the Peopleâs Party, aims to regulate how Islam is managed inside the country, and includes provisions requiring imams to be able to speak German, standardizing the Quran in the German language, and banning Islamic organizations from receiving foreign funding.

Translations are not authentic and they can only be used as study aids, not as Scripture.
Many Muslims who cannot speak or understand Arabic memorize portions (or all!) of the Koran in Arabic because they believe they cannot pray unless they use Arabic language verses from the Koran.
Shouldn’t everything be printed in Austrian?
Obama will be confused, he believes they speak Austrian there...
Or what?
If that is actually true, it doesn’t bode well for Austria. These feral have no intent to assimilate
About 8 years ago, we were walking the street in Vienna near our friends apartment. There were two men walking down the other side of the street.
Two cops cars roll up and demand ID. One starts to run and the cop trips him and cuffs both f them. Now 3 cop cars. In a few minutes, four cops take the two men away in a car. Not speaking Austrian ( I know, I know), we asked our friend what was going on. No ID, obviously foreigners, being taken to the airport and processed for deportation later the same day (or night).
Good development. Better development: kick them out.
If you drill down, you find this stems from a BBC article written a year ago which discusses elimination of foreign funding to Austrian Islam. There is NO mention of German Korans or Imams being forced to ‘preach’ in German.
Yesssss!!!
A good start. Hope this is actually enforced.
Ooops! In an article that is from last August, referencing a rule that ostensibly happened last February, EVERY principle of the multiculturalism that has thoroughly permeated Europe seems to be violated to an extreme degree, I find much cause for skepticism.
I would like a wave of backlash like this to sweep Western Civilization; but I know that at the slightest whiff of it there would have been a cause celebre like no other over it. I have neither seen a sign nor heard a word about this.
The very idea of telling religionists what languages they can use would be completely out of bounds, especially in Europe. And, as much as I am for all-out assimilation, the thought of restricting people from reading sacred material or uttering sacred steam, in their preferred languages, in their own confines or otherwise, simply never would occur to me. And I doubt it would occur, either, to 90% of Europeans.
I would like to see this source broken down just a bit for deeper understanding of it.
Islamist Sedition has earned it.
I hope non-Muslim tourists who visit Austria can still use their native language...those visiting not to settle but just to see the kangaroos.
My wife spoke with her Uncle over the Holiday, and they are not happy with the Muslims at All. She Lived there her whole life until I married her.
Or they can just go back to their peaceful utopian muslim homelands where their “religion” makes everything just super wonderful. And they can behead anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Why not Austrian?
LOL!
Why not Australian?
That's not a knife ... THIS is a knife.
Not after that delusional insignificant country Belgium is nuked...
Appropriate measures aimed at limiting the growth and spread of islam. Good job Austria. if any muzzies want to kick and scream about it...they can leave.
