(Breitbart) A court has fined Austrian political scientist Michael Ley, an expert in Islamic antisemitism, for claiming a University of Salzburg professor was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Mr Ley was handed down a fine of 2,400 euros after being found guilty of incitement and slandering University of Salzburg professor Farid Hafez, Austrian tabloid Kronen Zeitung reports.
The political scientist had claimed Prof Hafez was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood and said that one of the organisation’s goals was to destroy Judaism during the launch of his book Islamic Antisemitism in February.
Hafez made a legal complaint and the judge in the case demanded that Ley give sufficient proof to his claim the academic was a member of the Islamist body.
