They want Muslim Imams in Austria to speak German and they want a prohibition on foreign funds coming in to the 400-plus Islamic organizations operating in the country.
And, get this! 58% of Austrians think “radicalization” of the country’s Muslim population is underway. (only 58%!)

They better slow Muslim immigration while they are at it! Or, no German language requirement is going to help them!
Austria’s parliament has passed a bill amending historical laws on Muslim organisations which will ban foreign sources of financing and require imams to be able to speak German.
The text aims to promote what conservative Integration Minister Sebastian Kurz called an “Islam of European character” by muting the influence of foreign Muslim nations and organisations, and offering Austrian Muslims a mix of increased rights and obligations in practising their faith in the central European country.
However, the law has generated opposition from several quarters, including Austrian Muslim groups that call it “discrimination” that imposes restrictions on Islam that other religions are not saddled with.

The passing of the law comes amid estimates indicating about 200 people from Austria – including women and minors – have gone to Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
A poll published by the OGM institute on Tuesday found 58 percent of Austrians feeling “radicalisation” of the nation’s Muslims was underway.
The legislation bans Islamic cultural organisations and imams in Austria from receiving funding from abroad.
The Hungarian Police detained 1,022 illegal immigrants during a single day at Hungary’s southern border with Serbia, a local police spokesman said on Sunday. A total of 991 of them were Kosovar nationals, 18 were Afghans, seven Iraqi, three Cuban, two Syrian and one a Somali national.The biggest group, 157 Kosovars and eight Afghans, were apprehended at noon on the outskirts of Ásotthalom. All the migrants applied for asylum.
There is a bit more.

This is actually pretty funny! Indonesia, a Muslim country, has long served as a transit route for the Middle Eastern and African illegal aliens (boat people) wanting to get into Australia, but Australia has been attempting to stop the illegal migration and is now guarding its borders. Consequently, the pile-up of “asylum seekers” in Indonesia has become a problem.
Here is a thought—let Indonesia give refuge to fellow Muslims.
Australian Immigration Minister, Scott Morrison: We are taking the “sugar off the table!” Where is America’s Scott Morrison?
JAKARTA — Senior Indonesian officials say they are looking for an island to accommodate some 10,000 asylum seekers and refugees waiting for resettlement in the country, as they have become a “burden.”
Asylum seekers flock to Indonesia from the Middle East, Asia and Africa, hoping to reach Australia. But Indonesia’s southern neighbor has recently announced that all refugees registered at the Jakarta office of the UNHCR refugee agency from July 2014 will now automatically be banned from resettlement in Australia.
Australia’s immigration minister Scott Morrison compares the ban to “taking the sugar off the table,” and says it’s in Indonesia’s interest.“We’re trying to stop people thinking they can go to Indonesia and wait around till they get to Australia,” he told Australia’s ABC Radio late November. “This is designed to stop people flowing into Indonesia. It will help Indonesia.”
But Indonesian authorities don’t see it that way. “It’s Australia’s right, but it’s creating a burden for us,” said Indonesia’s Justice and Human Rights minister Yasonna Laoly on Australia’s ABC News. “There are 10,000 foreign citizens, which becomes a burden for us.”
Indonesia has never signed any refugee treaty with the UN! So, why isn’t UNHCR Antonio Guterres blasting Indonesia? Is it because it is already a Muslim country and it is Australia that should be Islamized? (LOL! is that a word?).
As a signatory to the United Nations’ Refugee Convention, Australia is bound by international law to protect refugees. Indonesia has not signed the treaty.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s anti-immigration “Operation Sovereign Borders” was launched shortly after he took office late 2013, and has created tensions with Jakarta. Indonesian authorities haven’t been happy with Australia towing back boats of migrants en route to Australia towards Indonesian waters.
Malaysia is a safe Muslim country. At the time the Iranian “refugee” gunman got into Australia as an asylum seeker, the Australian government was pretty much “welcoming” all. Why couldn’t the Iranian phony cleric simply ask for asylum in Malaysia? Why did Australia give him asylum in 2001? I’ll bet those are questions the Abbott government is researching (or should be) at this very moment.
Today things are different in Australia as it is one of the few countries in the world at least trying to control its borders, if it is not already too late.
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 17 — Iranian gunman Man Haron Monis who kept Sydney gripped in a deadly hostage crisis had fled to Malaysia after committing “violent” crimes in Iran before seeking asylum in Australia, according to the Middle Eastern nation’s police.
Monis, who was shot dead by Australian police after holding 17 people hostage in a Sydney cafe, had absconded to Malaysia in 1996 during a time when he was wanted for those and fraud-related crimes.
Aside from his alleged crimes in Iran, Monis was also facing trial in Australia for a number of offences, including being accessory to the murder of his wife as well as over 40 sexual assault charges involving seven alleged victims.
Man Haron Monis was known to authorities in Sydney
It is unclear when the Iranian left Malaysia for Australia, where he was granted refugee status in 2001.
Iranian police chief General Ismail Ahmadi Moghaddam also revealed that Australia had declined Iran’s request to extradite Monis to stand trial for his crimes.
Moghaddam also alleged that Monis had sought asylum by masquerading as a Muslim cleric.
“It lasted four years to collect evidence on Manteqi’s [Monis’] identification documents and we reported this to the Australian police but since Australia has no extradition treaty with Iran, they didn’t extradite him,” Moghaddam was quoted as saying in a report by the Mehr News Agency.
Monis’ refugee status also precluded Australia from repatriating him to Iran.
Malaysia is a popular transit point for Iranians seeking to escape the Middle Eastern regime, owing to shared religious and cultural links between the two nations.
So why is the US taking refugees from Malaysia and who are they? Surely no Christians went there for protection!
If you go to this fiscal year’s (FY2015) State Department statisticsyou can see that we took a huge number of “refugees” from Malaysia in the first two months of this year (October and November)—1,504. Again, Malaysia is a safe Muslim country so who are we taking?
I bet we took thousands from Malaysia in FY2014, but those stats are no longer available to the general public.
Who are those “refugees?” Are they persecuted Malaysian Christians? Are they illegal aliens (Muslims) who got to Malaysia hoping to make it to Australia? Is this like our Malta situation where we are taking another country’s illegal aliens?
The State Department does not make public the nationalities of those coming to America from Malaysia! We can only guess that they are Burmese Muslims, or Somalis, or more Middle Eastern Muslims. Again, persecuted minorities (like the Christians) won’t be seeking protection in Malaysia. And, if they are why is the State Department keeping it secret?
Update December 14th: More demonstrations expected tomorrow, here.
Invasion of Europe breaking news….
“Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West” marched in Dresden earlier this week.
A day after the Obama Administration announced it is “welcoming”9,000 Syrian Muslims to the US, Germans are expressing their anger loud and clear about the influx of Muslim asylum seekers. Germany is planning to take up to 20,000 Syrians in the coming months. Demonstrations of this size must be shaking up the European Union. In October it was Cologne.
BERLIN/NUREMBERG (Reuters) – Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday condemned anti-Muslim demonstrations centered on the eastern city of Dresden, saying there was “no place in Germany” for hatred of Muslims or any other minority.
In a speech at a party congress of her Bavarian allies in Nuremberg, Merkel also denounced an attack on buildings in a nearby town being turned into refuge for asylum-seekers. The structures were set on fire and daubed with swastikas.
“It is unbearable when homes of asylum-seekers are defiled, when people try to make radical slogans,” Merkel said, adding that everyone coming to Germany had the right to be treated decently.
Earlier on Friday, Merkel’s spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz said: “In the name of the government and the chancellor I can say quite clearly that there is no place in Germany for religious hatred, no matter which religion people belong to.”
“There is no place for Islamophobia, anti-Semitism or any form of xenophobia or racism,” Wirtz said of the growing Monday evening marches in Dresden under the motto PEGIDA, standing for “Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West”.

The latest PEGIDA march on Monday drew up to 10,000 people and almost as many counter-demonstrators. The organizers, who began two months ago with a few hundred people, say they are not against immigrants but want to protest against Islamic extremism and the influx of asylum-seekers.
