Austrian Chancellor called on the EU to do more to fight political Islam
Austrian Chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, appealed to the European Union Tuesday to make more effort against political Islam, which represented a grave threat to European values, he also said.
Kurz informed the German daily Die Welt in an interview: The EU must focus much more strongly on the problem of political Islam in the future.
He also said: I hope we will see an end to this misunderstood tolerance and that all countries in Europe will finally realize how dangerous the ideology of political Islam is for our freedom and the European way of life.
Actually, he spoke after a day that a known extremist shot fire in Vienna, and killing four people in the first terrorist attack Austria’s in decades. Kurz declared that the EU must, with utmost determination and unity, wage a war against Islamist terror, but particularly against its political base, that is to say political Islam.
He also reported that he was in contact with French President Emmanuel Macron and many other government leaders so that we can coordinate more closely within the EU, adding that Austria would put this question on the agenda of the coming EU summits.
