Austria has said it will close down seven mosques and expel imams who it says are funded by foreign countries. 

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the move was a crackdown on political Islam.

Some mosques are suspected of having links to Turkish nationalists. In April images emerged showing children in Turkish army uniforms re-enacting the World War One Battle of Gallipoli.

The Turkish president's office called Austria's move "Islamophobic, racist and discriminatory".

Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin took to Twitter to condemn the move.

Wonderful. First of all, while self-funding of a religion by a congregation may be warranted, I don't think that countries should allow preachers who are funded by foreign governments. Doesn't that make them agents of a foreign government. The Americans are making a big deal about "Russian influence". Would it have been OK if, instead of paying for Facebook ads, the Russian government had paid for Russian Orthodox priests to flood the US? 

Just on that basis alone, they shouldn't be allowed.

Then there's the fact that they promote jihad. Promoters of jihad should be barred from every non-Muslim country, regardless of source of funding.

Also, I wonder when the other German-speaking country (Germany) will stop inviting millions of jihadis per year to drain their social security systems and rape their women.
