Jihad in Austria: 'Christians Must Die'

by Raymond Ibrahim  •  August 14, 2023 at 5:00 am

  • Two young Muslims [ages 15 and 16] living in Austria recently confessed that they would like to "kill Christians" and "restore the caliphate."

  • "Killing Christians takes us to paradise." — The boys' reply in court.

  • As in other European nations, sex crimes — including against young boys — have skyrocketed in Austria.

  • Along with generic Muslim criminality in Austria seems to be, sadly, an ideologically-driven hatred for "disbelievers" and especially Christians and Jews.

  • Possibly most significant is that all of this hostility and violence is taking place in a backdrop where the Muslim population continues to burgeon in Austria — to the point that there are now more Muslim students than Catholics in the schools of Austrian cities, including Vienna, the capital, and Linz.

  • "Their parents came to Austria to work as skilled workers. The second generation doesn't have any qualification, and unskilled workers are no longer needed in the job market. Unlike their parents, they speak neither German nor their mother tongue very well. And, according to OECD, they achieve lower results in school than those who were born outside of Austria. In addition, there are not enough "role models", successful migrants who are present in the public sphere. — Die Presse, October 17, 2009.

  • "What can politicians do to make better integration Possible?" "There are many proposals from experts. One example calls for children to be integrated early, as soon as they enter kindergarten. In the future, immigrants should be chosen not according to family relationships, but according to their job qualifications." — Die Presse, October 17, 2009.

  • In May 2023, a report found that mosques in Austria were actively teaching Muslim youths not to befriend native Austrians or any other non-Muslims..... While some politicians... expressed shock and outrage at this teaching, it is, in fact, a mainstream Muslim doctrine. "Those who believe should not take unbelievers as their friends in preference to those who believe—and whoever does so should have no [expectations] of God—unless to safeguard [taqaa, from taqiyya] yourselves against them." — Koran 3:28.

  • "Antisemitic crimes hit record high in Austria." — Headline in dw.com, April 26, 2021.

  • Today, Muslims are, in the name of "multiculturalism," making the sorts of inroads in Austria, and all throughout Europe, that their ancestors could never have dreamed were possible. But this might be less a reflection of Islam — which is today significantly weaker than in its Ottoman heyday, although still apparently filling a major role in the hearts of its adherents — and more a reflection of a swiftly dying, less-religious Europe.

Two Muslim boys living in Austria, aged 15 and 16, recently confessed in the Leoben Regional Court that they would like to "kill Christians" and "restore the caliphate." They had made plans to massacre as many people as possible during an attack on the middle school attended by the 15-year-old. Pictured: The town of Leoben, where the trial took place.

Two young Muslims living in Austria recently confessed that they would like to "kill Christians" and "restore the caliphate."

The boys, aged 15 and 16, were put on trial at the Leoben Regional Court on July 16, 2023. They had made plans to massacre as many people as possible during an attack on the middle school attended by the 15-year-old, in Bruck an der Mur, where they both lived.

When confronted in court, the boys — who both have a history of violence and criminality— admitted that "We wanted to shoot all the Christians in the class!" Asked how they would have responded if police had intervened, they said, "We would have surrendered" — adding that "Allah would have forgiven" them in prison, since "Killing Christians takes us to paradise."

Reflecting on the two would-be mass murderers, one article notes:
