"The
Austrian Islam Act ( 1912) should be amended, on the initiative of
Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz. The renewal of the oldest Islamic Law
in Western Europe is to take precedence over Austrian state law. The
"Dialogue with Islam" initiative was started by Kurz during his time as
Secretary of State Integration is to lay the ground for the new law.
This dialogue involves talks with radical Muslims such as as applicable
IGGiÖ result (Islamic Religious Community in Austria ) about how rights
and obligations for Muslims in Austria should be defined in the future.
In short, Islamists are invited to participate in writing the law.
Sebastian Kurz claims that this step is taken to
counteract interference from abroad, as Imams are to be trained
exclusively at Austrian universities, and it will be discussed how
Islamic inititatives are funded from abroad. The law is also to ensure
that Islamic traditions are followed concerning holidays and funerals,
and that Imams can provide spiritual guidance in prisons, hospitals and
in the army."
