| Austria Announces Plans to Ban ‘Political Islam' in Bid to Confront Muslim Brotherhood | |
| 2026-09-03 | |
“Let me be clear: I do not want our children and grandchildren to grow up in an Islamic State,” Stocker added on social media. “In Austria, everyone can believe what they want and what they want. This freedom of faith is protected by our constitution. But where believers and non-believers are distinguished, where men and women are not equal, where our institutions, authorities and courts are not respected, that freedom ends. Just as we protect the practice of religion, we must protect our democracy.” The move was supported by Integration Minister Claudia Bauer, who vowed to fight political Islam in Austria and throughout Europe “with all means possible, because radical Islam is the greatest danger of our time, for our Western democracy, for the freedom of girls and women and for everyone who wants to live their religion peacefully and freely.” Austria’s Directorate of State Security and Intelligence (DSN) has specifically pointed to the Muslim Brotherhood as an example of political Islam, which it describes as efforts to inculcate Muslim practices in social and political structures with the long-term aim of establishing Sharia law or a Caliphate throughout the West.
