Mohamed M. continues to incite hatred. A few weeks after his release from prison, Austrian Islamist Mohamed M. is highly active again. He regularly appears in mosques, rails against the West and glorifies terrorism. Mohamed M. at a Vienna mosque The location of the event is bizarre: The Dar us-Salam mosque, a meeting place for Austrian Islamists on Vienna’s “Gürtel” ring road, is sandwiched between a strip club and a catholic church. But that does not discourage young radical Muslims from coming regularly to the religious location situated in the basement of a 19th century building in Vienna’s 8th district. The reason for the inrush of young Islamists are the lectures by Mohammed M. . “There are people who say: Terrorism has nothing to do with Islam,” Mohamed whispers to the audience. Mohamed agitates against the West, against infidels and especially against moderate Muslims, who in his opinion, abandon the Islamic Ummah. Under observation Mohammed’s messages are being disseminated through multiple channels on the Internet.
