When Islamists openly march and demand a caliphate instead of democracy, black Upper Austrian integration region councilor Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer sees red. He simply wants this demand to be severely punished and hopes for support from his colleagues in other states.
In Austria it should not even get to this point: in view of the Islamist march in Hamburg, where a thousand radicals demanded the establishment of an Islamic theocracy – a caliphate – in the center of Europe, State Council for Integration Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer is now proposing a tightening of the criminal code. In concrete terms, the ÖVP politician wants to submit a proposal to reform the facts in Section 247b at the upcoming state refugee conference in two weeks.
Democracy versus Califat
Hattmannsdorfer quotes from the bill: “The public calls at demonstrations and events, as well as the calls on social media to replace our democracy with a caliphate and Sharia or to establish an Islamist theocracy, must be answered with severe punishment for the people and stakeholders. Green Justice Minister Alma Zadic, who is responsible for changing the law in this case, is specifically addressed.
“A warning sign for Austria”
Hattmannsdorfer continued: “The fact that in the center of Europe there are open calls for the establishment of an Islamic dictatorship according to Sharia rules is also a warning signal for Austria. “There must therefore be a strong response from the start when dealing with religious fanatics, so that our fundamental values and our peaceful coexistence are not jeopardized.”
Unanimity is important
The Provincial Council for Integration of Upper Austria will present this proposal at the relevant conference. And he hopes for support from speakers in the other states. The agreement of the blue-black colleagues is certain, but the SPÖ-controlled departments in Tyrol, Vienna, Carinthia and Burgenland are still unclear. If the application is accepted unanimously, the Minister of Justice must examine the proposal.
