We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
A court in Vienna has caused a storm after confirming that a financial ruling based on Islamic law, or Sharia, is legally valid in Austria.
Critics say the judgment opens the door to “parallel justice” and undermines the country’s legal system.
The case began when two Muslim men agreed that any disputes between them would be settled by an Islamic arbitration panel using Sharia rules.
When a disagreement arose, the tribunal ordered one of them to pay €320,000. He refused, arguing that Sharia is open to different interpretations and goes against Austria’s core values.
But the Vienna Regional Court dismissed his appeal. Judges said Austrian law allows people to choose arbitration systems for financial and property disputes, as long as the result does not break Austria’s “fundamental legal values.”
The court added that it was not its role to examine whether Sharia itself was fair, but only whether the outcome contradicted Austrian law.
The ruling has sparked fierce criticism. Manfred Haimbuchner, deputy governor of Upper Austria and a leading figure in the right-wing Freedom Party (FPÖ), warned:
Sharia is incompatible with our basic values. This is another example of our legal system being powerless against the creeping influence of Islam.
He pointed out that Sharia includes punishments such as stoning and allows the beating of women, saying: “It can never be reconciled with our understanding of law.”
Another FPÖ politician, Andreas Bors, called the ruling “absolute madness” and said:
Austria is a Christian and Western state under the rule of law. That rule of law must never be undermined by parallel justice or religious legal systems such as Sharia.
Even the Turkish Cultural Association (TKG) expressed concern. In a statement, it said the ruling violated EU treaties, and it pointed to a 2003 decision by the European Court of Human Rights, which found that Sharia is incompatible with human rights law.
The group argued the Vienna decision could lead to “a strong interference in today’s secular economy, and tomorrow in rules for trade, sales, and services.”
Commentators in Austrian media have warned that the case could set a dangerous precedent.
The conservative outlet Exxpress called it a “grotesque” symptom of the EU’s failed migration policies, and said the judgment sends the wrong signal about integration. “Austria is not an Islamic state,” the outlet wrote, warning that allowing Sharia in contracts undermines trust in democracy and the rule of law.
Although the court said its decision only applies to property disputes, opponents fear it will encourage the wider use of Sharia-based agreements in Austria.

📢 🇺🇸 🚷 Congressman Andy Ogles on X:
Excited to announce that my 83-page ASSIMILATION Act has been introduced.
Months of labor were undertaken by my staff, Senator Tuberville and myself in order to GUT the Hart-Celler Act of 1965, as well as scrap provisions of the Immigration Act of the 1990s.
The goal of this bill is simple: end replacement migration and ensure American cultural cohesion.
This bill will end the H-1B scam, ensure migrants NEVER become a public charge, and make America look like America again. FYI, net immigration immediately decreases by 85% under this bill.
Some other things it does:
• National Interest Standard
• Stringent Character Tests
• Mandatory E-Verify
• Ends Chain Migration
• Ends Diversity Lottery
• GUTS Birthright Citizenship
• WAY Tougher Asylum Standards
• Stronger Public Charge Rules
• 10 Year Citizenship Requirement
• English & American Civics PROFICIENCY

BREAKING: US data center construction spending jumped +34% YoY in March, to a record $50 billion annualized rate.
Spending on data centers is up +437% since the beginning of 2021, when the annualized rate stood at ~$9 billion.
This is also up +688% since the start of 2018, when the annualized rate was just ~$6 billion.
Meanwhile, office building construction spending fell -9% YoY in March, to $46 billion, the lowest since 2015.
This means that spending on data centers now exceeds office building construction by $4 billion, or +9%.
To put this into perspective, office construction spending exceeded data center spending by $65 billion, or +650%, in 2020.
AI is fundamentally transforming the US economy.
