Not allowing foreign troops to march through your territory is the very definition of neutral.

Not marching..... USA simply wants it's trains with military supplies and personnel to be allowed to transit through Germany, France,  Austria. Is this really too much to ask? By denying this request the perfidious Austrians are helping Saddam. f 'em!

Anyone know the Muslim population of Austria???--thinking(73)

"Currently, Muslims are the third largest religion in Austria and growing. Their numbers doubled between 1981 and 1991. These Muslims are largely immigrants and are often political refugees. The bulk are formerly Turkish and citizens of the former Yugoslavia. The recent Balkan wars drove a lot of Muslims to choose Austria as a homeland.

"The relationship between Muslim minorities and the State of Austria has been formalized and regulated since 1912 by the Islam Act that officially recognized the religion. It led to the establishment of the Muslim Faith Union in 1979 and Austrian Muslims are taught their faith in public schools with teachers paid by the State. The rise of nationalistic political parties in Austria reflects a concern seen in France. Increasingly, a growing portion of native Austrians are suspicious and fearful of Muslims."
