An Islamic State-supporting gunman who killed four people and injured 23 others in an attack in central Vienna on Monday night deliberately “deceived” his mentors in a deradicalisation programme to feign a renunciation of jihadism,...

The 20-year-old dual Austrian and North Macedonian citizen, named as Kujtim Fejzulai, was shot dead by police...

The attacker, born in Mödling, south of Vienna, developed a strong interest in political Islam as a teenager and eventually hatched plans to join Isis in Syria. He was deported from Turkey to Austria after a failed attempt in September 2018 to cross the border into Syria and was sentenced to 22 months in prison on 25 April 2019.

The sentence – reduced in keeping with an Austrian law covering the rights of 18- to 20-year-olds – was suspended on 5 December under the condition he would be regularly monitored by probation services and a deradicalisation programme that works with the Austrian justice ministry.

Nehammer said ...that the terrorist had managed to deceive his mentors in such a way that no early warning signs pointing to his radicalisation had been registered...

The young man had deliberately created the impression that he was eager to reintegrate into Austrian society...

An attempt to revoke Fejzulai’s Austrian citizenship had also stalled because of lack of evidence proving terrorist activity...

“Fact is: the terrorist managed to deceive the judiciary’s deradicalisation programme …

The Derad deradicalisation programme is a Vienna-based association staffed by 13 mentors who work with individuals who are either suspected of having become radicalised or have already been sentenced for an association with terror groups.

Yes.

People do not understand Islam.

They project their values on them and pretend that arguing using liberal slang makes them a good person. If anyone disagrees they get a label stamped on them: close minded, bigot, xenophobic, racist.

Islam is OK with oppression, not inclusive of other religions, it is OK with forced or coerced conversions, deception and has a violent doctrinal component to it. The Koran is full of verses advocating striking the non believer on the neck (decapitation - why this is so common)...
