He warned against Islamist influence in schools, including pressure over how girls dress, adding: “It cannot be allowed to happen in this country that a preacher dictates things rather than Parliament.” The push comes amid growing concern over Islamist influence in Austria, where the government already operates a center dedicated to monitoring political Islam, including the Muslim Brotherhood and the activities of Hezbollah and Hamas AustriaChristian StockerClaudia BauerIslam
