In response, the chairman of the Islamic Religious Community in Austria (IGGO), Umit Vural, said that the Muslim group’s partnership with the state should be strengthened, “rather than calling it into question through recurring debates about political Islam.”
Why doesn’t he want to talk about political Islam? If it’s as benign as so many people insist, what would be the problem?
“Austria moves to ban Muslim Brotherhood, warns Islamic body,” Yenişafak, September 6, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Austrian Integration Minister Claudia Bauer has called for a constitutional ban on the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations, stating that the proposed measures could also affect the Islamic Religious Community in Austria — the country’s largest Islamic body — while urging religious leaders to take a clear stance against extremism.
Austrian Federal Minister for Europe, Integration and Family Claudia Bauer on Saturday called for a constitutional ban on the Muslim Brotherhood and several other organizations, warning that the measures could extend to the Islamic Religious Community in Austria (IGGO) — the country’s officially recognized Islamic body. The minister told the Austrian Press Agency that the proposal reflects growing concern over radicalization.
Speaking to the agency, Bauer said: “I don’t think we can rule it out,” referring to the IGGO. “The difficult thing about political Islam is that it has insidiously spread even within established institutions,” she added.
Bauer called on the religious community to “take a clear stance on where the line is drawn here,” stating that “in the past, she has seen little to nothing in terms of measures against radicalization and extremism.” She subsequently announced plans to submit an initial outline for the constitutional ban to the Austrian People’s Party’s (OVP) coalition partners.
The push follows remarks by Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker, who told public broadcaster ORF on Aug. 31 that the government seeks greater control over radicalization in the name of Islam. Stocker’s comments signaled a harder line from Vienna toward domestic Islamist groups.
IGGO Chairman Umit Vural rejected the minister’s stance, stating that the legally recognized community serves as a reliable partner of the Austrian state. “It is precisely this partnership that needs to be strengthened, rather than calling it into question through recurring debates about political Islam,” Vural said….

If a country needs an “Integration Minister” that in and of itself bespeaks a lot, virtually none of it good.

Islam is bad says
“Austria: Integration minister urges Muslim groups to ‘take a clear stance against extremism’”
Spoiler alert: The Muslim groups will not ‘take a clear stance against extremism’, because the extremism is intrinsic to Islam.
Rather than calling for a constitutional ban on the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations, Claudia Bauer should call for a constitutional ban on Islam.

The word “muslim brotherhood” should be interpretated as it is, the brotherhood of muslims. So, every muslim should be included in it. For example, is a Shia terrorist a member of the so called Muslim Brotherhood organization which is a Sunni followers? Certainly not, but they have the same terrorism idea.

Both parts of her plan are DOA. A constitutional ban is not enough, removal is the only option that would work. Urging religious leaders to take a clear stance against extremism. That wont work either but they will keep trying.
Back an the day the Allies killed so many nazis that Austria and Germany had to import replacements. It is that old, same shit different day, meme.

As Erdogan assures us, Islam is Islam

Stupid Woman! Islam is Extreme! All of it!! These “Extremists”, as she calls them, are simply following the diktats of their Sacred Texts, Mohammed’s words & therefore, Allah’s.
Don’t dingbats like her get it?
She & the Rest need a few good Lectures on Islam, instead of clouding the issue with their ‘modern thinking’ & learn the cold, hard FACTS!

Regarding he statement which said that the Muslim group’s partnership with the state should be strengthened, “rather than calling it into question through recurring debates about political Islam.”
The term used in the end of that sentence, which is “the term that is which is “political Islam.” Those two words are nonsensical and redundant as well as unknown in the Islamic world, because the essence of Islam is very political .
First, as for that term being nonsensical one devout Muslim who the President of Turkey had ,rightly , declared “Islam is Islam.”
Second. as for that term being redundant, has been well explained by none other Ayatollah Khomeini who declared” All Islam is politics.” [1]

This young woman who is the Austria’s Minister of integration, who want to encourage Muslim organizations to “take a clear stance extremism.” She is probably sincere is that goal but she’s also obviously very naïve and likewise uninformed about the real essence of Islam.
About that, terms “Extremism “and “Islamic extremists “ as well as “Radical Islam.”
The terms “Islamic extremism” and “Radical Islam” Western terms and unknown in the Muslim world. Therefore, those words not fitting term as the following explains.
To explain in more detail those words “Islamic extremism” and “Islamic extremist” as well as “Radical Muslim” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East.
This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam.”
Those two Western words “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant aloud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”
In addition to all this, to put this same message in a shorter way, it may be rightly said that
the terms “Islamic extremist” and “Radical Islam” as well as “Moderate Islam.” are unknown in the Islamic world. Likewise, the terms “Radical Muslim: and “Moderate Muslim” are also unknown in the Islamic world. Those are Western terms. For what a Westerner would call an “Islamist” ” or a “radical Muslim” in the world of Islam that person would be seen as a “devout Muslim” Also, what a Westerner would call a Moderate Muslim “in the Islamic world he would be viewed as a Muslim “who isn’t fully committed to Islam.”
Walter Sieruk says
That other “Austrian Integration Minister Claudia Bauer has a very good idea by calling for a constitutional ban on the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations,
The Muslims who are stealth jihadist’s scheme of such organizations do have the insidious Islamic goal achieving the advancement of Islam and its Sharia in Austria and other Western countries. This is called the “stealth jihad” which is which by insidious infiltrate of Western governments both dangerously subversive the laws in the nations of the West to replace those laws with Sharia.
In other words, the goal of this stealth jihad is to ‘”by any means’ established in the countries of the West.
This as subtly effective and is demonically clever in an Islamic sense. Furthermore, this, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
Tim gallagher says
Islam is evil filth, all of it. Since Muslim lie constantly to the non Muslims who they hate, if they say that they agree with her, it will be complete bullshit. And as if the misogynistic Muslim scum of the earth would ever care what a woman says anyway. Wake up Austrians throw all Muslims out, Muslims hate you and civilised, western life and want to destroy it.
