| Austrian province to ban construction of mosques |
| 2008-02-13 |
| A regional Austrian parliament gave its go-ahead on Tuesday to a change in the law that would ban building mosques and possibly other non-Christian establishments in the region. While no mention was actually made of mosques or minarets in the bill approved by lawmakers in Carinthia province, the change to the so-called law on the upkeep of towns’ appearances meant that special dispensations would now be required for the construction of “buildings of unusual dimensions.” Carinthia’s governor, far-rightist Joerg Haider, said it was high time “to send a signal,” accusing the centre-left Social Democrats of not doing anything to stop “the advance of Islam.” The changes were condemned by the opposition Green and Social Democrat parties, as well as the Austrian Muslim community that said the changes constituted an infringement of religious freedom. |

| #3 This is what's called progress. Ban these f**king mosks. Ban Islamos. They either drop Muzz cult or they leave. That's progres. Not kissing ass and baying to the moon like the fool Arch Bishop in England. |

| #2 Exactly. People are turning to neo-Nazis because they have nowhere else to turn. What European and other leftist opinion completely fails to appreciate about George Bush is that he and men like him are democracies only defense not only against the islamists but against a resurgent Nazism. Once again spineless "peace" activists guarantee the coming war will be far bigger than it needs to be. |

| #1 Haider is a borderline semi-nazi, but he's right in that regard. What infringement of religious freedom? Nobody says they can't pray. Once there is a cathedral built in KSA, they can have a mosque in Carinthia. It really chops my hide that in Yurop, almost the only resistance to encroachement of Islam is put up by people of Haider type. With exeptions few and far in between (like Wilders). |
