(Daily Sabah) Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) chief Norbert Hofer said during an election rally Tuesday that the Quran was more dangerous than the coronavirus, drawing fire from the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and the Islamic Religious Community in Austria (IGGÖ).
During the election rally in Vienna with a few hundred FPÖ supporters, Hofer said: “I do not fear corona. Corona is not dangerous. The Quran is much more so.”
Muslims in Austria made clear that they will report the chairman for hate speech and incitement. IGGÖ’s president Ümit Vural said Hofer insulted the entire Muslim population with this statement.
