Austria has become the first country in the European Union to ban the Muslim Brotherhood as part of a new anti-terrorism law.
The law bans the Egyptian-founded Muslim Brotherhood by adding it to a list of organisations linked to “religiously motivated crime”. It sets a punishment of a month in prison and a €4,000 (£3,407/$4,717) fine for those who propagate the group’s literature or disseminate its slogans. The law also allows the government to place electronic tags on convicted terrorists for monitoring .
The ban comes as part of an anti-terrorism package the Austrian parliament passed and which was created in response to the Vienna terror attack on November 2nd, where an Islamic radical murder four people and injured 23 others .
The Muslim Brotherhood has a long history in Austria. It first opened an office in the city of Graz in the mid-1960s, which was used as the group’s financial hub before moving to Switzerland, where member Youssef Nada opened the al-Taqwa bank.
A large-scale raid and arrest of suspects was scheduled for November 3rd of last year but took place on November 9th due to the Vienna terrorist attack and saw 60 addresses raided and millions of euros seized.
The new designation for the Muslim Brotherhood comes after the Austrian government has also banned the symbols of the ultranationalist Turkish Grey Wolves, the far-left Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the Islamic State, and other extremist groups.
The move to ban the Muslim Brotherhood comes after Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, in the aftermath of the Vienna terrorist attack, promised to create a new criminal offence related to “political Islam”, saying it would allow the government to “take action against those who are not terrorists themselves, but who create the breeding ground for it”.

Isn’t this Islam in general?
Good for them.
NOW we are making progress. [but likely NOT according to the Progressives [who actually aren’t]]
Austria has discovered a survival instinct?
Yes, the problem is Islam, but no one has the guts to say it.
It’s a step in the right direction to ban the most militant groups, but won’t solve the problem because the problem is Islam.
Did they print the announcement in austrian?
Hussein wants to read it in the original austrian.
“Austrian,” is a difficult language but those who speak “German,” have no problem understanding “Austrian.”
And, a special bonus is that all Austrians can understand “German.”
I know this fact because I’ve been there! Neener, neener..
So there!
Oh Boy!! Obama is going to be mad. He loves the Muslim Brotherhood>
The smelly EU female weenies hiding in their mommy’s Brussels basement will craft a strongly worded objection on TikTok to Austria.

One thing that helps us Kafirs, is Islam has it's share of traitors and heretics.
Islamic fundamentalists remain our problem, and we won't admit that, because most non-Muslims belong to a love everyone type of tolerant religion.
Kafirs can't comprehend that if you oppose the world domination of Islam you will be killed by a Muslim who follows the fundamentals of Islam.
That is what Allah wants, and Allah's messenger Muhammad set the example. -Tom
Finally, someone demonstrates having a lick of sense.
“smelly EU female weenies”
Yeah, been there, saw that; didn’t smell that. But they were willing to learn.
Exactly right!
Obama, Google, Code Pink, Soros, Bill Ayers, Valerie Jarrett [born in Iran], Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton
all demanded that Egypt be handed over to the Muslim Brotherhood.
How did that work out?
One of the smartest moves a country can make.
The Austrians may be the smartest people on the planet.
They have convinced the world that Hitler was a German, and Beethoven was an Austrian. -Tom
Thanks MarvinStinson.
There is no radical Islam, there is no moderate Islam. There is only Islam. To paraphrase Erdogan, who ought to know.
Racism. They haven’t banned the mafia./s
