The grinning murderer of Villach has again fueled discussions about Islam in Austria. The cultural community of the Islamic Federation (IF) is now afraid of instrumentalization of its faith. Islam is actually the “religion of peace”.
“The Islamic federation condemns the terrorist in Villach to the sharpest and is in mind among the victims and their relatives,” said the cultural community in response to the Islamist terror of Villach in a broadcast on Monday morning.
Terror tries to “abuse Islam, the religion of peace”. The IF violence of any kind. “The goal of terrorists is afraid to generate distrust and hatred in society. For this reason we appeal to those responsible and politicians in our country to strengthen and combine cohesion.
Curse in Austria
It is all the more important that terrorist intentions do not receive political space for the distribution of society and that religious communities are not convicted. “The Islamic federations are ready for every cooperation and cooperation to consolidate unity in society.”
The knife attack caused dismay everywhere in Austria. The Islamic religious community (Iggö) also spoke about a perfidious approach and a horrible act. “These acts of violence, which are committed to Islam under abuse, have nothing in common with the actual values of our faith,” IgGö President ümit Vural emphasized.
According to the Ministry of the Interior, the perpetrator came to Austria in 2020. Asylum was granted to him. The fact that the suspect still had an upright asylum status is due to the still unmanageable situation in Syria. After the Assad regime drops in December 2024, countless disclosure procedures were started.
Protection status of murderers is withdrawn
“However, the situation in Syria has not yet been clarified,” the ministry said. That is why the Federal Office for Foreign Affairs and Asylum (BFA) could not initially make definitive decisions, such as the withdrawal of protection status. In the specific case, however, the situation is clear: “The Syrian concerned has committed a serious crime – a murder and various attempts for murder. His protection status is therefore of course withdrawn. However, before the deportation can be made, he must first serve his prison sentence, “said the Ministry of the Interior.
The investigation after the Islamistic motivated terrorist attack in Villach, in which an asylum officer from Syria killed a 14-year-old and sometimes being seriously injured, will continue to go out on Monday. The debate about sharpening asylum and migration policy will also continue.
