Muna Duzdar, who is Muslim and from the Social Democratic Party (SPO), said that she was open to “discussions about this but in reality one cannot pick individual religions. If you discuss religious dress and symbols, you have to speak about all religions.” However, one does not hear bellows of discontent from other religions as they clash with Western values. Proponents of other religions collectively find ways to adapt and integrate and appreciate the freedoms that Western constitutions protect.

Meanwhile, as expected, “the new proposals have been dubbed ‘anti-integrative’ and ‘discriminatory’ by the Islamic Religious Authority of Austria (IGGIO), who claim that the legislation could sparks tensions between Muslims and the integration ministry.” Threats, threats and more threat”: it’s the Islamic supremacist way.

So are lies: “Ibrahim Olgun, head of the IGGIO, said wearing headscarves was a form of liberation for women and a symbol that fought against societal ‘patriarchal prejudices.’” The truth is just the opposite of what Olgun claims. After the Iranian Revolution, 100,000 women took to the streets to demonstrate for women’s rights and protest against the headscarf. Women who dare not wear the scarf in Saudi Arabia face “the wrath of the religious police.” 15 girls in Mecca were once trapped inside a burning school and burned to death; the Saudi religious police did not allow them to escape because they did not have the “proper covering.” The Islamic State also stoned five women to death for not wearing the veil.
