Austria: Muslim migrant ‘guardians of morals’ threaten ‘too Western’ women, hang their pictures in mosques

[duluxe]

They didn’t hang their pictures in mosques so that the mosquegoers could pray for them, but so that these women would be further threatened and intimidated. No one at the mosque seems to have informed these “guardians” that Islam is a religion of tolerance that respects women.

What are the chances that the people in this mosque are going to become loyal members of secular Austrian society?

“‘Guardians of morals’ threatened ‘too Western’ women,” translated from “‘Sittenwächter’ bedrohten ‘zu westliche’ Frauen,” Kronen Zeitung, August 13, 2020 (thanks to Medforth):

Because, in their opinion, they behaved “too Western”, five men and one woman – all Chechen citizens – systematically persecuted, denounced, threatened or even injured women. The six self-appointed moral guards were arrested and are likely to belong to a hierarchically structured group that has wanted since at least the beginning of the year to “remind” women from Chechnya and in some cases their partners or families in Vienna and Linz that they should behave according to their values. The police assume that there are both more victims and more perpetrators.
The case started after an affected woman turned to the police. As a result, more women came forward and the police started investigations. The victims – ten are known to date – reported that a photo in swimwear or a relationship with a person not of Chechen origin was enough for the group to target them. If this happened, the perpetrators proceeded systematically, a police spokesman said on Thursday.
Pictures of the women were hung in mosques
First, the members of the group are said to have scoured their circle of acquaintances, but also social media. If there were indications of “offense”, someone was sent to speak to the woman in question. If that didn’t work, family members were also included in the threats, the police said. Furthermore, pictures of the women are said to have been hung up in mosques to denounce them. According to the police, if the women did not give in, further threats and violence followed, whether at home or at work. According to the police, the acts were more likely to have been initiated by the older members of the group.
The previously known “moral guardians” are between 19 and 37 years old and are said to have committed intimidation, but also bodily harm in at least ten cases since the beginning of the year. After intensive investigations, the five men and the woman were arrested during the night of June 17 as part of coordinated, simultaneous raids on the home addresses of the suspects, according to a broadcast by the Vienna State Police Department.
Gas and alarm guns, knives and cash secured
Officers from the State Criminal Police Office in Vienna, supported by Cobra and the Task Force to Combat Street Crime in Linz, seized cell phones, which were presumably used for communication in certain messenger services, various gas and alarm weapons, knives and 5,000 euros in cash. The police could not say on Thursday whether the weapons were used in the threats to the women. The suspects are said to have posed with them on social networks.
The alleged perpetrators were charged with numerous criminal offenses, primarily on suspicion of multiple bodily harm, coercion and criminal association. The police assume that there are both more victims and more perpetrators. The investigation is ongoing.

Hitler knew very little Russian history. The people of Rus have a long tradition of beating the moslem ottomans singlehandedly. They didn't need to rely on coalitions like the Austrians did at Vienna. If Hitler knew Russian history a little better, he would not have invaded Russia.

It may not be the kind of place you would expect to stumble upon a mosque, but Muslims have lived among the forests and lakes of Lithuania for more than 600 years - showing that tolerance reigned here in the Middle Ages, even when religious strife was rampant in other parts of Europe.
At first glance, the square, wooden building looks like thousands seen in villages all over the Baltic. Neat timber slats, wood-framed windows, a tin roof.
But at the apex of the roof, instead of a point there is a small glass turret, topped with an onion dome of the kind you might see on a local church. Then, on top of the onion, stands a small crescent.
This is the most European-looking mosque you will ever come across.
If it looks completely at home in this northern European setting, that's because a mosque has stood here, roughly 20 minutes' drive south-west of the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, since 1558.

There is a clue in the name of the village, Keturiasdesimt Totoriu. It means Forty Tatars, and legend has it that this is the number of Tatar families that settled here more than 600 years ago, at the invitation of the Lithuanian Grand Duke, Vytautas.

The Grand Duchy, with its deep pagan roots, faced a constant threat from its aggressive Christian neighbours to the west, the Teutonic Knights.
So in 1398, returning from a military campaign near the Black Sea, Vytautas brought with him a large number of Muslim Crimean Tatars and a small group of Karaite Jews to help defend Lithuanian territory.
Sure enough, 12 years later the Teutonic Knights went to war with Poland and Lithuania and the Tatars and Karaites fought alongside Vytautas at the Battle of Grunwald (between Warsaw and Gdansk) in which the crusaders were resoundingly defeated.
As a reward for their support, Vytautas gave the Muslims land and complete religious freedom - and this was at a time when both the Sephardic Jews, and Europe's oldest Muslim community, the Moors, were being driven out of Spain.

"Vytautas is highly revered among us. He did not order us to forget the Prophet... We swore an oath upon our swords to love the Lithuanians when the fate and destiny of war brought us to their homeland and they said... 'This land, these waters... will be shared between us'"

Wikipedia says you are wrong.


The Cossacks[a] are a group of predominantly East Slavic-speaking Orthodox Christian people who became known as members of democratic, self-governing, semi-military communities, originating in the Pontic steppe, north of the Black Sea.[1] They inhabited sparsely populated areas and islands in the lower Dnieper,[2] Don, Terek and Ural river basins and played an important role in the historical and cultural development of both Ukraine and Russia.[3][4]
