(Brussels Signal) Austria’s ruling People’s Party (ÖVP) has called for a total ban of the use of Islamic law, Sharia, in Austria.
On December 29 Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker announced he would put the ban on the agenda for an upcoming closed-door meeting between the ÖVP and its coalition partners.
At the two-day conference on January 13-14, Austria’s three-party coalition plans to set its aims for the first six months of 2026.
The ban on Sharia law is part of a wider effort by Austria’s conservatives to fight against political Islam — or at least appear as if they are doing so.
