Austria passes controversial reforms to 1912 Islam law
Protesters held a demonstration against the new law outside the parliament building in Vienna on Tuesday
The Austrian parliament has passed controversial reforms to the country’s century-old law on Islam.
The bill, which is partly aimed at tackling Islamist radicalism, gives Muslims more legal security but bans foreign funding for mosques and imams.
Austria’s Integration Minister, Sebastian Kurz, defended the reforms but Muslim leaders say they fail to treat them equally.
The 1912 law made Islam an official religion in Austria.
It has been widely held up as a model for Europe in dealing with Islam.
The new measures, first proposed three years ago, include the protection of religious holidays and training for imams.
But Muslim groups say the ban on foreign funding is unfair as international support is still permitted for the Christian and Jewish faiths.
They say the legalisation reflects a widespread mistrust of Muslims and some are planning to contest it in the constitutional court.
Mr Kurz told the BBC the reforms were a “milestone” for Austria and aimed to stop certain Muslim countries using financial means to exert “political influence”.
“What we want is to reduce the political influence and control from abroad and we want to give Islam the chance to develop freely within our society and in line with our common European values,” he said.
