Austria: 38% of Muslims do not want to obey Austrian laws

if they contradict the Qur’an

Only 38%? The number is likely higher, but people being polled often answer the way they think the pollster wants them to rather than saying what they really think.

Not to mention that Muslims have been given permission in the Quran to lie to unbelievers.

Fatal ‘Muslim study’: 38 percent follow the Koran and not Austrian law

translated from “Fatale “Muslime-Studie”: 38 Prozent folgen Koran und nicht österreichischem Gesetz,” 

Unzensuriert, May 11, 2023 

A study brought to light a fatal attitude of Muslims to the Austrian constitutional state. Politicians and the mainstream are sharply critical – not of the results, but of the survey methods.

Quran is above the law

The study carried out by the University of Vienna under project manager Endnan Aslan revealed, for example, that 38 percent of Muslims do not want to obey Austrian laws if they contradict the Koran. Accordingly, this group could also be referred to as state refusers. But what about politics and the media? They do not talk about the frightening content of this study, but rather that the “Muslim study” is controversial.

My question is, if you don't want to live under Austrian laws, why are you in Austria? 

Fetched from regular classes for questioning

ÖVP Minister of Education Martin Polaschek immediately distanced himself from this survey via APA – he rejects the methods of this investigation, according to Polaschek, who showed solidarity with the Muslim Youth Austria (MJÖ) and the anti-racism NGO ZARA. According to an APA report, both organizations criticized the “tentative questions” and that Muslim students in the 9th grade were taken out of regular classes for questioning.

Is that a problem? Why?

Do miniskirts signal sexual readiness?

For example, it was asked whether Muslims should only be friends with their own kind and whether women should be punished for immoral behavior. Students should also decide who goes to hell and make an assessment of whether men are weak if they don’t use violence. “The sight of disabled people bothers me,” is another statement that should be evaluated. Another: “When women wear miniskirts or revealing clothing in public, they signal sexual readiness.”

Anyone who questions the content of the Koran faces consequences

ÖVP Minister of Education Martin Polaschek should worry less about the survey methods used by the University of Vienna than about what comes to light in studies. As reported, just yesterday, Wednesday, a study presented in Linz about “Mosque Lessons in Upper Austria” caused sheer horror. Because according to the teaching materials used in mosques in Upper Austria, Islam is the only true religion. Other religions are not valid. It also teaches that Muslim children should only have Muslim friends and that believers who question the content of the Koran will face consequences. In addition, it is never explained why girls have to wear a headscarf at all.

Integration prevented by mosque lessons

In this study one could come to the conclusion, said Upper Austria’s deputy governor Manfred Haimbuchner from the FPÖ, that integration is apparently undesirable and that integration is actively prevented by mosque classes. Haimbuchner literally said:

We stand by the practice of religion within the framework of religious freedom. However, if an ideology that is not compatible with the value structure of Austrian society is spread under the cloak of religious freedom, the state must take measures.

It would be really nice to have the responses to these statements? Hopefully, that will come soon. At any rate, Austrians, at least some of them, are beginning to see the impossibility of Muslims integrating into Austrian or European society. The longer they wait to address this issue, the more difficult and violent will be the consequence.

Sweden: Representative of tax-funded Muslim group demands

more tax funding for Eid party, threatens riots

Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate:

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

The caliph Umar said the jizya payments from the dhimmis were the source of the Muslims’ livelihood:

“Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama at-Tamimi: We said to `Umar bin Al-Khattab, ‘O Chief of the believers! Advise us.’ He said, ‘I advise you to fulfill Allah’s Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.)’” (Bukhari 4.53.388)

UK jihad preacher Anjem Choudary said in February 2013:

“We are on Jihad Seekers Allowance, We take the Jizya (protection money paid to Muslims by non-Muslims) which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the Kafir (non-Muslim), isn’t it? So this is normal situation. They give us the money. You work, give us the money. Allah Akbar, we take the money. Hopefully there is no one from the DSS (Department of Social Security) listening. Ah, but you see people will say you are not working. But the normal situation is for you to take money from the Kuffar (non-Muslim) So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.”

When I was growing up, there was little in the way of welfare, and those who took advantage of what there was had an air of shame about them. Muslims in Europe seem to have an attitude of pride about living off the work of non-Muslims as a God-given expectation. This is not the God of the Bible > 

2 Thess 3:

10

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

11

We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies.

12

Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat.

Didn’t get extra allowance for Ramadan party – threatened riots

translated from “Fick inte extra bidrag till ramadanfest – hotade med kravaller,” 

Fria Tider, May 11, 2023:

DOMESTIC. A representative of the tax-funded Muslim study association Ibn Rushd threatened riots due to non-payment of extra contributions for a Ramadan party, Sydsvenskan reports.

Eid - Malmo - 2018

The man has been reported to the police for illegal threats by the city of Malmö.

The reason is that he wrote in an email that there could be riots because a contribution to a festival in connection with an Eid festival to mark the end of Ramadan was not granted.

The city of Malmö has contributed financially to the Muslim festival in Folkets park since 2013, but this year the city’s contribution of SEK 200,000 (about $19,000 USD) was not enough to guarantee the security of the event.

The employee from Ibn Rushd announced in the email to the municipality that Muslims dissatisfied with the allowance would cause significantly greater costs for society than the 200,000 kroner.

The district manager at Ibn Rushd, Malin Novén, announces that the man has now been suspended.

Malmö City’s security officer Per-Erik Ebbeståhl says that it is the individual employee, not Ibn Rushd as an organization, that is behind the email.

“Unfortunately, he has crossed the line of what is acceptable,” says Per-Erik Ebbeståhl.

What? A Muslim crossed a line? Seriously!

'Silent Night': Persecuted Palestinian Christians Kept Out of Sight

The Middle East’s forgotten Christians

Raymond Ibrahim, Front Page

This article was first published by the Gatestone Institute.  Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

“The moment they [Hamas] took control [of the Gaza Strip], they started persecuting us, ruining our churches and forcing Christians to convert to Islam.”

Such are the recent recollections of Kamal Tarazi, a 60-year-old Christian man from Gaza, now living in the streets of Nazareth.  Before fleeing, he tried to resist the Islamist takeover, including by calling on Muslims and Christians to unite against Hamas.  As a result, “I was jailed several times. Do you know what a Hamas prison is? It is pure torture.” 

The report adds that “the Islamic group decided to keep him alive to avoid depicting themselves as persecutors of the local Christian population, something that could potentially anger the international community.”  He was eventually released, fled the region, returned, got imprisoned again, and fled again, permanently. “I am sure there are no more than 500 Christians left in Gaza,” he offers, “and it is just part of the general trend.”

His account is a reminder that, while reports on the persecution of Christians emerge regularly from other Muslim majority regions around the world, little is often mentioned of those Christians living under the Palestinian Authority.

This is not because they experience significantly less persecution than their coreligionists.  Open Doors, a human rights group that follows the persecution of Christians, notes in its most recent report that Palestinian Christians suffer from a “high” level of persecution, the source of which is, in its words, “Islamic Oppression”:

Those who convert to Christianity from Islam, however, face the worst Christian persecution and it is difficult for them to safely participate in existing churches. In the West Bank they are threatened and put under great pressure, in Gaza their situation is so dangerous that they live their Christian faith in utmost secrecy….The influence of radical Islamic ideology is rising, and historical churches have to be diplomatic in their approach towards Muslims.

It seems that the unique situation of Palestinian Christians—living in a hotly contested arena with much political and media wrangling in the balance—best explains the lack of news from that area.

“The Persecution of Christians in the Palestinian Authority,” a report by Dr. Edy Cohen, published by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies earlier this year, goes a long way in validating this supposition.

First, it documents three anecdotes of persecution of Christians, all of which were back-to-back, and none of which were reported by so-called “mainstream media.”  Summaries follow:

April 25: “[T]he terrified residents of the Christian village of Jifna near Ramallah … were attacked by Muslim gunmen … after a woman from the village submitted a complaint to the police that the son of a prominent, Fatah-affiliated leader had attacked her family. In response, dozens of Fatah gunmen came to the village, fired hundreds of bullets in the air, threw petrol bombs while shouting curses, and caused severe damage to public property. It was a miracle that there were no dead or wounded.”

May 13: “Vandals broke into a church of the Maronite community in the center of Bethlehem, desecrated it, and stole expensive equipment belonging to the church, including the security cameras…. [T]his is the sixth time the Maronite church in Bethlehem has been subjected to acts of vandalism and theft, including an arson attack in 2015 that caused considerable damage and forced the church to close for a lengthy period.” 

May 16: “[I]t was the turn of the Anglican church in the village of Aboud, west of Ramallah. Vandals cut through the fence, broke the windows of the church, and broke in. They desecrated it, looked for valuable items, and stole a great deal of equipment.”

These three attacks, which occurred over the course of three weeks, fit the same pattern of abuse that Christians in other Muslim majority regions habitually experience.  While the desecration and plundering of churches is prevalent, so too are Muslim mob risings against Christian minorities—who tend to be perceived as dhimmis, or second-class “citizens,” who should be grateful to receive any toleration at all—whenever they dare speak up for their rights, as occurred in the village of Jifna on April 25:  “[T]he rioters” in Jifna, the report relates, “called on the [Christian] residents to pay jizya—a head tax that was levied throughout history on non-Muslim minorities under Islamic rule. The most recent victims of the jizya were the Christian communities of Iraq and Syria under ISIS rule.”

Moreover, as often happens whenever Christian minorities are attacked in Muslim majority nations, “Despite the [Christian] residents’ cries for help” in Jifna, “the PA police did not intervene during the hours of mayhem. They have not arrested any suspects.”  Similarly, “no suspects were arrested” in the two church attacks.

In short, Palestinian Christians are suffering from the same patterns of persecution—including church attacks, kidnappings and forced conversion—that their coreligionists suffer in other Muslim nations.  The difference, however, is that the persecution of Palestinian Christians has “received no coverage in the Palestinian media. In fact,” Cohan explains, “a full gag order was imposed in many cases”:

The only thing that interests the PA is that events of this kind not be leaked to the media. Fatah regularly exerts heavy pressure on Christians not to report the acts of violence and vandalism from which they frequently suffer, as such publicity could damage the PA’s image as an actor capable of protecting the lives and property of the Christian minority under its rule. Even less does the PA want to be depicted as a radical entity that persecutes religious minorities. That image could have negative repercussions for the massive international, and particularly European, aid the PA receives.

Considered another way, the bread and butter of the PA and its supporters, particularly in the media, is to portray the Palestinians as victims of unjust aggression and discrimination from Israel.  This narrative would be jeopardized if the international community learned that Palestinians are themselves persecuting fellow Palestinians—solely on account of religion.  It might be hard to muster sympathy for a supposedly oppressed people when one realizes that they themselves are doing the oppressing of the minorities in their midst, and for no other reason that religious bigotry.  

Because they are so sensitive to this potential difficulty, “PA officials exert pressure on local Christian[s] to not report such incidents, which threaten to unmask the Palestinian Authority as yet another Middle East regime beholden to a radical Islamic ideology,” Cohen states elsewhere:

Far more important to the Palestinian Authority than arresting those who assault Christian sites is keeping such incidents out of the mainstream media.  And they are very successful in this regard. Indeed, only a handful of smaller local outlets bothered to report on these latest break-ins. The mainstream international media ignored them altogether.

Notably, a similar dynamic exists concerning Muslim refugees.  Although West European politicians and media present them as persecuted and oppressed, in need of a welcoming hand, Muslim migrants themselves persecute and oppress Christian minorities among them—including by terrorizing them in refugee camps and drowning them in the Mediterranean.

Even mere numbers—which are inherently objective—confirm that Christians living under the PA are experiencing some unpleasantry that Muslims are not: although there were approximately 3,500 Christians in the Gaza Strip in 2007, there are now reportedly no more than 500-1,300.

As Justus Reid Weiner, a lawyer acquainted with the region, explains, “The systematic persecution of Christian Arabs living in Palestinian areas is being met with nearly total silence by the international community, human rights activists, the media and NGOs…  In a society where Arab Christians have no voice and no protection it is no surprise that they are leaving.”

Indeed, Christianity is, by all counts, on the verge of disappearing in the place of its birth—literally, as this includes Bethlehem, scene of the Nativity—thereby giving the otherwise seasonally relevant words, “Silent Night,” a more tragic significance. 

Perhaps God is removing His people from these areas before their destruction. Is that possible?
