critics do not more of one, as they think, "conservative management" can be represented
hive of Austria's Islamic community of faith have long been a dispute over the official representative to the outside. Critics do not more of one, as they think, can be "conservative management" represented.
Graz - "The minority of a minority of a minority," said Omar Al-Rawi, referring to is that the initiative liberal Muslims who challenged the sole representative of the Islamic Community in Austria (IGGiÖ) and also claims around for sanctions against radical imams or thinning of textbooks had set up in Islamic teaching to discrimination against other faiths.
Al Rawi - he's Viennese SPÖ politicians and integration Representative IGGiÖ - wants to outside criticism unacceptable. His community as an umbrella organization representing almost all sections of the approximately 500,000 Muslims in Austria.
The criticism that only a small percentage of the Muslim community have chosen their representative in the Community is not tenable. Al Rawi talks to the Standard: "Obama was probably chosen by 20 percent of Americans, because not everyone will choose, but no one would think that Obama is not democratically legitimized.." Only on the Islamic community was expected to "select that 500,000 Muslims go."
precisely at this point hooked a Efgani Dönmez. The Green Party is committed to the Islamic faith, feels but also by his opinion "very conservative" faith community not represented. The "silent majority," is operating normally and is integrated, lean slightly toward a "enlightened liberals" to Dönmez. "Many people are not aware of what abrennt there. Who is as everything as a contact person sold. Politicians are subject to an error: they believe that Islam is a single block as well. Islam is not a single religion. This plurality is first to . Realize "Then politicians needed to ask by what contacts they would make their integration policy with the" enlightened, secular forces "and as usual" with the Conservatives 'Dönmez.' I hope that the Austrian policy wakes up slowly . I think she plays with fire and makes its policy, the rights, but also the Islamists only other more "
Omar al Rawi has Dönmez and other critics for advice at hand." If he sees a Muslim, and changes wants to achieve, he has been invited to become a member of the faith community to pay its contribution and then there to make his vertebrae.

KNOWLEDGE: Muslim world
The last census in 2001, exactly 338 988 persons from Islamic faith. The number is currently estimated at around 500,000. The strong groups come from Turkey, ex-Yugoslavia, Tunisia and Egypt. They are all organized in confederations. These in turn divide into various law schools (Sunni, Shia). How many Muslims in the organizations and associations that operate around 200 mosques registered, is unclear, according IGGiÖ (Islamic Community). (Mue)
