From March 23 to April 21, Muslims will celebrate their fasting month of Ramadan this year. During this time, the migrant party SÖZ (Social Austria of the Future) demands that the city of Vienna decorate the streets in the heavily Islamised district of Favoriten with “appropriate decoration”.
This Ramadan decoration was proposed by Hakan Gördü, the SÖZ club chairman in the 10th district of Vienna, in a statement. “We hope,” it says, “that the city of Vienna will comply with our demand and decorate the streets of Favoriten appropriately”. Gördü also stressed that this action would be a wonderful way to celebrate the diversity of the city and raise awareness of different cultures and religions. The demand of course also applies to the religious holidays of other faith communities (Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali or Vesak).
So the migrant party SÖZ wants to use the tax money of the Viennese citizens to have the streets of Vienna decorated according to their faith on their feast days. Under SPÖ mayor Michael Ludwig, this could probably even be implemented. His political pandering to Muslims is similar to that of Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, who never forgets to congratulate “all Muslims” on the occasion of the fasting month. See “Twitter” post.
According to Maximilian Krauss, chairman of the Viennese FPÖ parliamentary group, and Stefan Berger, member of the regional parliament, the demand for a Ramadan decoration is an “inconceivable provocation by the Islamist lobby”, which should be rejected in the strongest possible terms. In a statement they said:
While the discussion about crosses in classrooms flares up regularly, people now want to hang Muslim festive decorations in Vienna. Austria, and thus also the federal capital, is a Christian country in which religious freedom is very important. However, this freedom must not be abused for radical religious reasons.
That is the beginning of the end of the West.
