Right Wing Austrian Politician Makes Scathing Anti-Muslim Remarks
In Graz, Austria, the public prosecutor's office is looking at whether right wing politician Susanne Winter violated laws against promoting racial hatred by making virulent anti-Muslim remarks at a recent meeting of the Freedom Party of Austria. The Weiner Zeitung reported yesterday that Winter, who heads the FPO list for next Sunday's municipal election, would face up to two years in prison if convicted of violating the racial hatred laws.
