Anyone who is surprised by this is naive. The Qur’an teaches that non-Muslims are the “most vile of created beings” (98:6) and that Muslims are the “best of people” (3:110). Did anyone really expect that the best of people would adopt the laws and mores of the most vile of created beings? Only the willfully ignorant could ever have accepted such a notion.

Austria’s Mosques Work Against Muslim Integration

Viennese mosques are promoting Islamic separatism and actively obstructing the integration of Muslims into Austrian society, according to a new report about mosques and Islamic associations in the Austrian capital. The in-depth investigative study also reveals that foreign governments continue to exert enormous influence on the practice of Islam in Austria, even though a so-called Islam Law prohibits such meddling.
The research, which provides evidence of active support for jihadi and Islamist organizations at several of the most prominent and influential mosques in Austria, sheds light on the depth of the challenge posed by the encroachment of political Islam at mosques in the country. The report serves as an important wake-up call for Austria and other Western countries struggling with the integration of Muslim minorities.
The 113-page report — “Mosques in Vienna” (Moscheen in Wien) — was published on February 23 by the Austrian Integration Fund (Österreichischer Integrationsfonds, ÖIF), an agency tasked with integrating immigrants into Austrian society. The study evaluated randomly selected Friday sermons (khutbah) at 14 of Vienna’s most representative mosques to determine if they were encouraging or discouraging Muslim integration.
The study reveals that Turkish mosques are, collectively, by far the greatest obstacles to integrating Muslims into Austrian society. Most Turkish mosques “take a negative view of the social integration of their members,” according to the report, which adds that this is highly relevant to the integration process “because ethnic Turks comprise the largest subgroup of Muslims in Austria.” Not coincidentally, the Turkish government continues to try to expand its influence over the practice of Islam in Austria.
Nearly all Sunni Muslim mosques in Austria belong to the Islamic Religious Community in Austria (Islamischen Glaubensgemeinschaft in Österreich, IGGÖ), the state-recognized Muslim umbrella group that represents more than 250 mosques in the country. IGGÖ is effectively controlled by the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. IGGÖ’s current president, Türkiye-born Ümit Vural, is closely linked to the Turkish nationalist Milli Görüş movement and IGGÖ’s mufti, Türkiye-born Mustafa Mullaoǧlu, is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. IGGÖ plays a “central role” in spreading the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to Islamism expert Lorenzo Vidino. FWI reached out to IGGÖ for a comment on the report but did not receive a reply.
The report’s lead author, historian Heiko Heinisch, told FWI that “with the Milli Görüş movement, ATIB [the Turkish-Islamic Union for Cultural and Social Cooperation in Austria, which is part of the Turkish government’s Religious Affairs Directorate, known as Diyanet] and the Muslim Brotherhood, three major players of international Islamism are active in Austria.” He added that “our report shows that these major players are in part actively working against the integration of Muslims into society.”
Al-Hidaya Mosque, Vienna
Vienna’s single-most problematic mosque, the study shows, is the notorious Islamic Association of Austria (Islamische Vereinigung Österreich, IVÖ), commonly known as Al-Hidaya Mosque, which is controlled by IGGÖ and, by extension, the Muslim Brotherhood. All the evaluated sermons from this mosque were categorized as “extremist.” IVÖ “rejects, as a matter of principle, Austria and Austrian society, its values, its laws and its constitution,” the report says.
IVÖ, an Arabic-language mosque, has a long history of glorifying jihad and martyrdom and seeking to establish a parallel society in opposition to Austria’s liberal democratic order. IVÖ’s imam, 53-year-old Egypt-born Ibrahim al-Demerdash, is known for his support of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas. He has been accused of radicalizing a “new generation” of young Muslim males in the foundational doctrines, practices, and tactics of political Islam. FWI asked IVÖ for a comment but did not receive a reply.
Imam Ali Islamic Center, Vienna
Another subversive mosque is the Imam Ali Islamic Center (Islamischen Zentrum Imam Ali, IZIA), which cooperates closely with the Islamic Center of Hamburg (Islamischen Zentrum Hamburg, IZH), described by German intelligence officials as a leading “propaganda center” of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Europe. Both mosques are well known for spreading anti-Western, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel extremist ideology.
On a more positive note, sermons delivered at the Arabic-language Islamic Center of Vienna (Islamisches Zentrum Wien) are described as “cosmopolitan” and “open to integration.” The mosque, the largest and oldest in Vienna, was built by Saudi Arabia in the late 1970s and is now jointly controlled by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Malaysia. “This mosque,” the report states, “scores in all categories as the most pro-democracy, the most open and the most tolerant.”
According to the report, none of the surveyed mosques — which cater to Muslims from Albania, Bosnia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye — openly identifies with Austrian society. With rare exceptions, sermons in Viennese mosques are not available in German, according to the study, and fully one-third of the evaluated mosques promote ethnic and religious segregation. Many of the mosques promote a dichotomous worldview that opposes ideological and religious pluralism and brands non-Muslims as enemies of Islam. They also appear to be directly or indirectly controlled by foreign governments….
He drinks during Ramadan and is stabbed: more blood in Central Station
translated from “Beve durante il Ramadan e viene accoltellato: ancora sangue in stazione Centrale,”

March 27, 2023:
Crossing the areas surrounding Milan Central Station has become really dangerous. This has never been a particularly safe area, nor are the areas adjacent to the large railway buildings in all cities, but in recent years, thanks to indiscriminate immigration policies, the situation has seriously worsened, as demonstrated by the countless episodes of violence that are recorded almost daily at the hands of foreigners who live by their wits. Robberies, violence, fights and thefts have become a serious security problem, which the Municipality does not seem to be interested in noticing. The latest incident dates back to Sunday, when a knife attack on a man who was drinking beer was recorded.
Two Tunisians aged 47 and 39 were attacked by three other men of African origin because, despite Ramadan, they were seen drinking a beer. The holy month for the Arab religion, in fact, stipulates that from dawn to dusk neither food nor water is consumed. Moreover, practicing Muslims are usually abstainers, so the three attackers saw that gesture as a serious offense against religion and decided to intervene violently. During the ensuing dispute, the 49-year-old was hit in the side by a blade. His life is not in danger and he was immediately accompanied in yellow code to the Milan polyclinic to carry out the necessary checks, but his conditions do not currently cause concern.
The two attacked were identified by the carabinieri patrol which arrived on the spot after the report, but the three attackers disappeared before the uniformed police arrived, so it was not possible to stop them. Now the military are analyzing the images of the security cameras to try to trace their identity, also thanks to the description provided by the two victims. As much as the left wants to deny it, the perception of security in Milan is at an all-time low.
Just a few days ago, in that area, several people were stabbed by a North African who was attempting to carry out muggings. Residents are afraid, tourists do not feel safe among irregular immigrants and gangs of Roma pickpockets.
The central station is no man’s land and the mayor doesn’t seem to care: evidently the ideological battles against the government are more important than the safety and decorum of the city he administers.
This is part of the warping of Swedish society by the high numbers of Muslim migrants taking over that once-peaceful country.
Sweden: “At school, the students say I’m dirty.
By ‘dirty’ they mean that I am white and Christian"

“O you who believe, the idolaters only are unclean.” (Qur’an 9:28)
What? The Qur’an considers Christians to be idolaters? Certainly:
“It is not fitting for Allah that he should take to himself a son. Glory be to him, when he decrees a thing, he says to it only, Be, and it is.” (Qur’an 19:35)
“They indeed have disbelieved who say, Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say, Who then can do anything against Allah, if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he wills. And Allah is able to do all things.” (Qur’an 5:17)
Södertälje
The school’s new everyday life: Murder around the corner
translated from “Skolans nya vardag: Mord bakom hörnet,”
Expressen, December 21, 2022:
The latest fatal shooting happened just a few hundred meters from an elementary school.
The place was Södertälje.
It was the 60th murder in Sweden this year.
It is a new everyday life for students and teachers who in several cases came close to gun violence.
“Parents come to the development talks in protective vests,” says a teacher who has worked for a long time in Järva, which, like Södertälje, has been hit hard by murders near schools.
“Gunvor,” who is in her 60s, has worked as a teacher in Järva all her professional life and got used to a violent and threatening work environment.
Being called “whore,” being told “I’m going to f**k your mother” and witnessing brutal fights is everyday for her and her colleagues, she says.
“I have considered wearing a protective vest. Everyone else has one. Even the parents, they come to the development talks in the West. It’s not strange, the stop at school is just one of many for them.
The hair is light and combed back in a tassel.
“At school, the students say I’m dirty. By ‘dirty’ they mean that I am white and Christian.”
She continues:
“Don’t touch me, you’re dirty,” they shout.
Every other teacher has been subjected to physical violence by students; seven out of ten in situations where students behaved aggressively or in a generally threatening manner.
In the report “Håll käften kärring,” it appears that threats and violence are common in leisure centers, preschool classes and grades 1-6.
Almost half of the upper secondary teachers and more than fifth upper secondary teachers have been exposed to a threatening situation by a student in the last two years. This is shown in the Teachers’ Association’s report When security is lacking.
She says that students sought her out at home after she reprimanded a student in the classroom.
“He started stalking me a couple of times after I worked in the evening. I don’t really care that much, but he said: ‘be careful’ and stuff like that.”
“At one point, he and his friends were standing outside the door,” she says.
“I heard how they tried to get in through the door. Then about 53 text messages came with the meaning that I should be careful, there were also pictures of me. They sent lyrics from rap songs.”
Basically, it is the money that keeps her working and she lives nicely at an exclusive address.
But she also feels a kind of revenge.
“I am not afraid at work, but it is unpleasant. The wages are very high and that helps. They won’t make me move, I’m enjoying myself anyway.”
Among the staff, people have resigned, she says, and the talk is going on between them about who to watch out for, she says. Who has dangerous family members or is active himself.
Have you tried to take this further and raise the alarm about the situation for yourself or the children in question?
“Never in my life would I make a report of concern. I don’t want problems. Second, there will never be a follow-up. It just stops there.”
“Gunvor” says that she would never take public transportation to work.
“It feels too unsafe.”
Instead, she has arranged her own garage space from a man who, for a fee, guards her car so that it does not get damaged.
Kerstin Aronsson is a school nurse and has worked at Rinkebyskolan in the Järva area for over 30 years.
She means that part of the job is dealing with “frogs jumping out of the mouths” of the children.
“And the frogs can contain things that can be perceived as threatening. We work with children. Their brains haven’t fully grown yet and they sometimes lack impulse control. Then they can eviscerate things, but this is best met with a low-affective approach.”
Do you feel unsafe at work?
“No. It is clear that there may be situations when people who do not belong to our school are in the entrance, for example, but then it is quite effective to simply ask what they are doing there and if they have no business, they can leave.”
For several years, Järva has been in the focus of shootings and gang conflicts. Recently, however, Södertälje has sailed around as the worst in the class with several fatal shootings and revenge attacks in a short time.
Seven murders – in a city of 100,000 inhabitants.
“Södertälje is Sweden’s most police-prioritized area right now,” says commissioner Gunnar Appelgren in Expressen’s crime podcast Krimrummet.
Both Järva and Södertälje are considered particularly vulnerable areas, according to the police’s assessments.
Expressen managed to produce this entire report without mentioning Muslims, migrants, Islam, the Quran, or anything else relevant to the motivation behind the violence.
