Islam in Europe > Will Austria succeed in banning political Islam? Migrant spared from working in Germany because he is dangerous; Cambridge hires jihadist research prof; Ceuta migrants throwing corrosive fluids

 

Austrian government begins work on constitutional ban of ‘political Islam’

Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker’s most pointed defense of banning political Islam is reflected in her view that “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’s absolutely correct on every level. These inequities between Muslims and non-Muslims are blatantly reflected in the Muslim demands that Western societies allow for the blaring of the Islamic call to prayer at the crack of dawn, waking up neighborhoods to accommodate Muslims, when no call to prayer blasted over loudspeakers is necessary, since cell phones exist. 

Also there are demands to wear the niqab in any public setting, preventing any identification of who is under that cloth.  Unreasonable Muslim demands for the niqab have turned up even in court in Canada. Jihadists could be hiding weapons under niqabs anywhere. Chad banned the Islamic face veil after suicide bombings in 2015; explosives were hidden under niqabs. As for airports, the niqab should be strictly forbidden there. The Qur’an also states about full coverings:

“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only what is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack desire, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And do not let them stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn to Allah together, O believers, so that you may succeed.” (Quran 24:31)

If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:

“O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.” (Quran 33:59)

This is not equal rights for women.  The Sharia, which encompasses “political Islam,” has no place in Western countries whenever any one of its tenets collide with Western freedoms, or undermines Western history and culture. Muslim countries do not tolerate any infringement on their culture or religion.

Muslim religious rights should not trump the individual rights of Westerners. Muslim advocacy groups have been extremely exploitative of Western laws, while their water-carrying leftists have aided and abetted them.

Western constitutions should be able to stand on their own to allow for bans on “political Islam.” For instance, Western countries should never allow restrictions on speech that is deemed insulting to Islam. People in free societies are allowed to criticize any and all doctrines. Christians do not threaten widespread violence when Christianity or Jesus is insulted and even mocked. No one has ever raised concerns about insults to Christianity.

A constitutional ban would perhaps make clearer the obvious for Austrians, and Stocker’s efforts will be groundbreaking for the West. One hopes that it will set a precedent to be followed.

Austrian gov’t begins work on constitutional ban of ‘Political Islam'

by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, September 1, 2026:

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.

ORF first reported on August 30 that Bauer is preparing the proposal and intends to send an outline to SPĂ– and NEOS. This was then confirmed by Bauer on social media.

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.”…


 


Syrian in Germany Recites Qur’an on Streets With Loudspeaker, Must Not Be Made to Seek Work: It Would Provoke Him

Amer G. is a Syrian “asylum seeker” living in Germany. He has not been deported, even though the civil war he was fleeing back in 2015 has ended, and the regime that supposedly persecuted him has now been overturned. He lives on benefits from the generous German welfare state. Oh, and one more thing — he has not been looking for work, nor will he be asked to find a job, because, you see, the mere request might “provoke” him to some violent act. So the authorities have decided to leave him be, to enjoy his life at the expense of German taxpayers. More on this preposterous situation can be found here:

 

Syrian Man Not Required To Find a Job To Avoid ‘Provoking’ Him

by Zolta Győri, European Conservative, September 1, 2026:

Witten, Dr.G.Schmitz, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0

A homeless immigrant man will continue to receive benefits and not be asked to find a job by the Ennepe-Ruhr district job center in Germany, as the office says the man is dangerous and should not be “provoked.”

The man in question is Amer G., a Syrian asylum seeker who reportedly arrived in Germany in 2015 and has become known in Witten for publicly reciting verses from the Quran using a loudspeaker.

He’s been living in Germany and living on all the benefits the welfare state provides, for 11 years. In that time he has never worked, never sought work, and becomes angry if he is asked to seek work. Those benefits he receives are in his view his by right, a kind of proleptic jizyah. How dare Infidels demand anything of him? They are, after all, “the most vile of created beings,” and he, as a Muslim, is one of the “best of peoples.”

For years, residents have complained about Amer’s loud recitations. According to reports, he walks through Witten’s city center on a daily basis, while reciting Quran verses, sometimes in the early morning hours. Police and the public order office have been dealing with the man for a long time….

This reciter of Qur’an verses in the public streets, even early in the morning, is a public nuisance, a destroyer of calm, but apparently the police are too afraid to arrest him for that and lock him up until he promises to stop this public disturbance. Or, still better, government officials should deport him back to Syria, where he can chant Qur’anic verses to his heart’s content. What’s keeping them? Are they afraid he might be angered if put on a plane? Oh dear. Mustn’t do that.

The special treatment began with a memo dated August 7, 2023. Job center staff reportedly concluded that placement in employment appeared impossible because of Amer’s “background.” The decisive justification was that “potentially dangerous situations should not be provoked.”

The Syrian man was subsequently classified as “exempt from activation.” The reported arrangement means that Amer has largely been spared the standard measures applied to other benefit recipients, including regular appointments, training programs, and the requirement to actively seek employment.

He’s home free: no need for Amer G. to enroll in training programs, no need to interview for possible jobs, no need at all to seek employment. He will apparently, for the rest of his life, enjoy a free ride at the expense of German taxpayers, unless, of course, the no-nonsense Alternative fĂĽr Deutschland party wins the next election and deports Amer G. back to Syria without further ado.

Amer G.’s propensity for violence is being used to exempt him from the utterly reasonable requirement that he seek employment. He’s implicitly threatening the state if it dares to make him look for work, or still more intolerable, to actually work if the opportunity presents itself.

Amer G. is considered a risk to others if the state dares to make him look for work, or still more upsetting to him, to actually work if the opportunity presents itself. And how will the case of Amer G. resonate among other migrants? They will see that his “propensity for violence” — his threat to react badly if it is merely suggested that he look for work — has allowed him to live without working or even seeking work. Why will other Muslims, pocketing their jizyah, not now go and do likewise?




Cambridge Picks Muslim Prof Who Said Muslims Should Study Engineering ‘to Produce Advanced Weaponry for Jihad’


A Cambridge University-hosted project run by Ahmed promotes an “Islamic curriculum.”

Isaac Newton. James Maxwell. Jason Arday. Farah Ahmed.

Which of these is not like the other? Cambridge has had better years. These days it’s a grim DEI joke aimed at achieving national suicide. This of course makes it no different than Harvard, Columbia or Yale, but Europe and the UK are still ahead of the Yanks.

Witness, Cambridge professor Farah Ahmed.

Cambridge University’s education faculty – former home of Jason Arday – has appointed as assistant research professor a woman who wrote that Muslims should study engineering and computers “to produce advanced weaponry for Jihad in order that the deen [Islam] may dominate over all other deens.”

That means all other religions, cultures and civilizations.

Ahmed co-wrote a chapter calling for a Caliphate and an Islamic educational system in which “nothing will be contained within the curriculum that contradicts with Islam, such as the teaching of the ideas of freedom, nationalism, democracy or evolution in a positive light.”

“Nor can there be any schools established on any other religion, sect or race… Even the non-Muslims need to be educated under the educational curriculum of Islam… by pushing them to think about the correct belief in life.”

…a Cambridge University-hosted project run by Ahmed promotes an “Islamic curriculum” which tells 12-year-olds that Hamas is an “excuse that Israel uses to justify its attacks on the Gaza Strip”, calls the civilian hostages taken by the terror group on October 7 “prisoners of war” and publishes in pupils’ course material a map of the region from which Israel has been erased.

Universities have gone from being centers of knowledges to centers of enemy operations aimed at our own destruction.

Either we deconstruct and fundamentally reconstruct higher education or this is our future.

Apparently, Cambridge doesn't know that Islam is a religion of Peace, and Jihad is an internal struggle. Let's not hear those stupid arguments again.




Spain: Three Moroccan Muslim migrants arrested in Ceuta for throwing corrosive liquids at military


Everywhere across the West where mostly Muslim migrants from the Middle East and Africa have invaded, there have been sharp increases in lawlessness and threats of jihad attacks. The case of three Moroccans throwing corrosive cocktails at military personnel is yet another illegal migrant incident to which too many people in the West are growing accustomed. Worse yet, leftists are accepting of this situation. Even the UK’s Labour government accidentally revealed its knowledge about Muslim migrant crime when it inadvertently admitted to it by giving guidelines to illegal migrants telling them that women are their equals and not to rape them.

Ceuta Crisis: Three Moroccans Arrested for Throwing Corrosive Cocktails at Military

by Christian Caruzo, Breitbart, August 31, 2026:

Spanish law enforcement officials on Sunday night detained three Moroccan illegal migrants involved in throwing bottles filled with corrosive liquids at military officials in Ceuta.

Over the past days, Spanish military officials have been the target of at least three different attacks and ambushes by groups of illegal migrants who invaded Ceuta last month. El Faro de Ceuta and other Spanish outlets report that the third known such attack occurred on Sunday afternoon.

Per the reports, three Moroccan nationals threw bottles containing a corrosive liquid at military officials at Ceuta’s San Amaro neighborhood.

None of the military officials were injured by the attack. Spanish Civil Guard officials immediately responded with a successful rapid search and capture of the perpetrators.

Unnamed police sources told El Mundo the military officials were not armed nor did they were required with protection equipment at the time of the attack. The attack, the officials reportedly affirmed, was “prepared” by the migrants.

Sunday’s corrosive attack against the military officials follow reports of similar incidents over the weekend during a series of peaceful protests by Ceuta’s upset residents against the yet-to-be resolved migrant invasion of their city. El Faro de Ceuta reported that bottles with a similar corrosive liquid were thrown at the protesters during a Friday night rally.

Per the report, at least four individuals were involved in the incident, one of which ran away, according to testimonies from witnesses…
