Let us begin: At least four former leaders of the „Muslim Youth Austria“ (MJÖ) work for the „Extremism Advisory Center“, financed by the Austrian Ministry of Family Affairs – although the organization has organizational, ideological and personal connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, it might be interesting to have a closer look at institutions and individuals, their connections to groups that deny secularism and how a government can act naively by supporting dubious organizations in the fight against jihadists.
Who are those preachers of extremism and separatism? The vast majority can be found within the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization not famous for being transparent, but famous for infiltrating Muslim communities. This is why the author is denying the term „political Islam“, at the same time it has to be clear that there are movements and actors in Austria, trying to gain more influence in society, politics and culture in Austria, with only one goal: Neglecting objective law, defined by legislative bodies and calling for an eternal law, defined only by god. So does it mean that the „political Christianity“ is based on pluralism and protecting European values, while the „political Islam“ is per se violating those?
In many countries in Europe, conservative parties call themselves „Christian Democrats“. The recent police raids in Austria against accused Islamists and supporters of the so-called „legalistic Islam“, movements that do not support terror to reach an Islamic state, but using the institutions to destroy it from within, were hardly criticized by many observers.Įspecially the announcement of the Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz adding the support of political Islam to the criminal code of Austria rises some concern in the public: Religion can be part of political life and is important for a society.
