Austrian gov’t begins work on constitutional ban of ‘Political Islam'
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 09/01/2026 | Mathilda Heller

Posted on 09/01/2026 10:23:19 PM PDT by thegagline

Austria’s government is beginning to work on a proposal to constitutionally ban “political Islam,” after Chancellor Christian Stocker called for the legislation and Integration and Europe Minister Claudia Bauer said she would draw up a proposal for the coalition partners.

***

Stocker first raised the possible legislation in an interview with Heute on August 28. The chancellor expressed his intention to implement a constitutional law on political Islam, which he called “incompatible with democracy and Western values.”

In a statement, Stocker said, “I do not want our children and grandchildren to grow up in an Islamic state.”

Stocker argued that everyone in Austria is free to believe whatever they want and to have whatever faith they choose, “But where believers and non-believers are treated differently, where men and women do not have equal rights, and where our institutions, authorities, and courts are not respected, that freedom ends.”

He then claimed that there is a relative majority of Muslim students in Viennese schools, but “The crucial question is: Will these students become democrats who accept and abide by our legal system and live alongside our society? Or will they become Islamists and be politically influenced?”

Here, Stocker cited a recent figure that pupils with an Islamic religious affiliation represented 41.2% in Vienna’s primary and middle schools, constituting a relative majority.

“It cannot be allowed to happen in this country that a preacher dictates things rather than Parliament,” Stocker added. “It must not be the case that morality police in schools determine what girls should wear or how they should behave. Nor can we ignore the foundations of an ‘honor killing’ while punishing only the act itself. That is why I am in favor of regulating this at the constitutional level as well.” ******

From the article,:

“The Center [Documentation Center for Political Islam] defines political Islam as “an ideology of supremacy that aims at influencing or changing society, culture, state, policy, politics, and/or polity according to such values and norms that are declared as Islamic by the actors of Political Islam, but are not shared by the majority of Muslims and are in clear contradiction to the rule of law, democracy, and human rights.”

“Not shared by a majority of Muslims?” This assertion is questionable at best.

Better yet, close the “gates if Vienna” to any Muslim.

Oh, hallelujah! Finally a reasonably Western nation says what needs to be said!

Big BUMP for later reading.

“ 41.2% in Vienna’s primary and middle schools are… Islamic religious affiliation”

We are leaving Munich in three hours for Vienna. Glad I can still see it while there are some Austrians left.

Düsseldorf and Viersen were bad. Not so visible in Munich. It varies widely by district, of course.

ALL Islam is inherently political. Islam must be banned in the West. Musloids must never be allowed to settle in ANY Western nation. Not doing either means the West eventually dies a very violent and horrible death.

He knows perfectly well the answer to that rhetorical question. The “moderate” moslems are perfectly happy to have the radical islamists do the dirty work.

Religous war is the only way to save the European nations and cultures.

Islam has been at war with all nations and cultures from its very beginning the West used to understand that. Read the Bible about Ishmael.

Good first step, but regarding “political Islam”:

There is only Islam. Act accordingly.

“Not shared by a majority of Muslims?“

…100% incorrect. All believe in the Koran. And the Koran dictates their actions.

Adding the adjective “political“ is duplicative and redundant.

Thank you for the boots on the ground report. Safe travels.

Some things bear repeating.

If you have a IPhone, I find that the memory & disc scanner app helps. Also, shutting down and restarting might help.

I think that’s the plan. There is no Islam except political Islam.

You have to fit these kind of ideas so that they pass legal muster.

This is a potential guide for how to do this in the USA.

Just ban islam altogether. It is not a religion, it is a cult. An intolerant, nihilistic, misogynistic, rapacious, bloodthirsty cult that is entirely incompatible with Western Civilization and liberal democracy (”liberal” in the classic sense, not the twisted “progressive” lunatics who claim the mantle today).
