(Deutsche Welle) Muslim Youth Austria (MJO) is filing a lawsuit against the country’s controversial “Map of Political Islam,” the group announced on Saturday.
The map, showing the names and location of over 600 mosques and associations in Austria and their possible links abroad, was unveiled on Thursday.
“The publication of all the names, functions and addresses of Muslim and Muslim-affiliated organizations represents an unprecedented crossing of boundaries,” Muslim Youth Austria said.
Who else criticized the map?
The Muslim youth organization is not the only voice to have criticized the map that was co-created by the University of Vienna and Austria’s Documentation Centre of Political Islam.
