“Political Islam’s parallel societies and radicalising tendencies have no place in our country,” Kurz told a news conference outlining the government’s decisions, which were based on that law.
Austria, a country of 8.8 million people, has roughly 600,000 Muslim inhabitants, most of whom are Turkish or have families of Turkish origin. One society that runs a mosque in Vienna and is influenced by the “Grey Wolves”, a Turkish nationalist youth group, would be shut down for operating illegally, the government said in a statement.
An Arab Muslim group that runs at least six mosques would also be shut down, it added.
“This is just the beginning,” far-right Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache told the news conference held by four Cabinet members.
The ministers said up to 60 imams belonging to ATIB, a Muslim group close to the Turkish government, could be expelled from the country or have visas denied on grounds of receiving foreign funding.

Sebastian Kurz oversaw the passing of a tough “law on Islam” in 2015, which banned foreign funding of religious groups and created a duty for Muslim societies to have “a positive fundamental view towards (Austria’s) state and society”. Good move.

Regarding this issue, I’ve said for a few years that Europe is our canary in the coal mine. Looks like the canary had the brains to figure out it was time to get out.

There is at least one European nation that is interested in self preservation. I hope this is the beginning of a trend, not simply an outlier.

I’d like to see Austria team up with Switzerland, Italy, the Balkans...well, countries east of Germany and France, and West of Turkey. And kiss off the EU.

God made us suspicious of strangers and foreigners for a good reason. Self preservation. And it applies double to muzzies.

I have never seen the issue of the century stated more simply and succinctly.
