Austria condemns rising attacks on Muslims

A letter condemning attacks on Muslims in Austria signed by a thousand people from different faiths was published on the internet recently.

This came after three women who were wearing headscarves; three mosques and a religious high school under construction were attacked in Vienna last month.

The declaration states that the Muslims want to start a debate as they feel that the debate in the media and in politics has caused the exclusion of Muslims.

In the declaration, they strongly condemn attacks on Muslims and attacks by the ISIL.

The declaration was signed by academics, writers, members of parliament, journalists and members of non-governmental organizations.
