One in five Austrian muslim teachers 'fanatical'

What exactly are these fanatical teachers teaching in the classroom? Has anyone bothered asking? Wiener Zeitung

Vienna. Muslim teachers in Austria have largely anti- democratic beliefs and one in five are "fanatical”. These are the findings of a new study by Professor Mouhanad Khorchide from the Islamic Religion and Pedagogical Institute at Vienna University.

Khorchide, himself a Muslim, said yesterday that 22.6 per cent of the 210 Muslim teachers he had surveyed had "fanatical att- itudes” whilst 8.5 per cent said it was "understandable for violence to be used to spread Islam”. In addition, 29 per cent said it was impossible for Muslims to integrate in Austria without losing their Muslim ident- ity, and 55 per cent said they thought Austrians were xenophobic.
