Turkish President Erdogan slams Austria's controversial Islam law
2015-03-01
[Hurriyet Daily News] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
strongly criticized Austria on Feb. 28 for approving a controversial bill that revises the status of Moslems in the European country.

"On the one hand you tell about the EU acquis, but on the other hand you take steps which totally oppose the EU acquis," Erdogan said at a meeting in Istanbul before his departure to Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
for an official visit.

According to the Europa portal, the community acquis or acquis is "the body of common rights and obligations which bind all the member states together within the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
... Applicant countries have to accept the Community acquis before they can join the Union."

The Austrian Parliament passed a law on Feb. 25, stirring a debate.

The updated "Law on Islam," which was prepared by the coalition of the Social Democratic Party and the People's Party, aims to regulate how Islam is managed inside the country, and includes provisions requiring imams to be able to speak German, standardizing the Koran in the German language, and banning Islamic organizations from receiving foreign funding.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
will make every effort to protect Moslems in Austria, especially those of Turkish descent, from being harmed due to a controversial recently approved bill regulating Islam in the country, Turkey's EU minister said on Feb. 26.

"We cannot accept any harm to Moslems because of this law and we will make every effort to prevent such harm," Minister Volkan Bozkir told Anadolu Agency during a visit to Finland's capital, Helsinki.

The president also referred to the recent incidents of Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
and biases against Moslems in the West, especially Europe, "The incidents are shifting to a different ground. We have to stop these biases."
Islam has been an official religion in Austria since 1912.

#10  Between the Hapsburg's and the Viking's successors dealing with the ROP-ers, there may be hope... Now to the 'speech' on Tuesday morning, to start to deal domestically with the metastases at 1600.

#9  Suleiman overstayed at Vienna, and early wintery weather ground his retreating troops all the way home. Suleiman tried again a number of years later, beginning in Hungary, but the army got bogged down and Suleiman died of age, prompting the end of that campaign. On the way back to occupied Constantinople, they had a body-double riding in a carraige to facilitate the naming of the new Sultan of the High Fives, rulers of the Black Sea hermit crabs, and turtle stacker supreme.

#5   'Religion of Peace'(tm) failed to conquer Vienna in 1683.

Apparently, back home in Istanbul they didn't even notice the crucial failure. It was the end of the conquering season so they went home, planning to come back in the spring. Only they got distrated with other things -- it was a big empire, after all -- and somehow never got round to finishing the job.

Much like the rest of the Ummah was completely oblivious the the Crusades until recently.
