What Vienna is concealing
„Mohammad“ already on place five of children’s names!

There is no Mohammad on the official list of the most popular children’s names of the city of Vienna – but in the internal version of the municipality, which is not being sent out to the media, it is: the Muslim name is already on rank 5 of the Top 10. “Both lists are correct. We are certainly not intending to withhold anything, we will correct this”, the spokesman of the mayor of Vienna reassured.

David before Maximilian, Alexander, Paul, Lukas, Leon, Elias, Tobias, Benjamin and Noah: On the official website of the municipality of the city of Vienna, there are several biblical names under the Top 10, and no Muslim names, despite the increased influx from Arab countries into the capital which has been documented for years.

During “Krone” investigations though, another list appeared: On this, the officials have – correctly – added the different spellings of names (Alexander/Aleksander or Mohammad/Muhammad). And in this ranking, Mohammad has been in the top five of the most popular children’s names since 2014 already. The numbers are increasing: In 2010, 99 parents called their boy Mohammad, in 2016 it were already 124.

October 5, 2017
First Incident after veiling ban. It hasn’t been full week since the burka ban went into effect, and there was already a first major incident. In Vienna-Mariahilf, a fully-veiled muslim attacked a teacher. Ten police officers had to intervene to protect the Austrian.

Mariahilfer Street, Wednesday afternoon: shortly after 3 PM, a teacher (name known to the editors) notices a burka-wearer at the subway station Zieglergasse. She approaches her and tells her, that a full-body veiling is prohibited since October 1st: „I don’t care, I love Islam“, answers the fully black-clad woman.

„Within moments, dozens of young men assemble, clearly Muslims. They solidarize with the burka-wearer, insult me as being a racist“, says the teacher. On the stairs to the subway station Zieglergasse, the Burka-wearer attacked the teacher, pushed her to the ground with both hands, and said, that she wasn’t obliged to follow laws. The young men made fun of the Viennese. Quickly, police officers intervene and protect the resident from the angry crowd.

The teacher: „They took my personal data, and took the Burka-wearer to the police office, to identify her.“ The officers advised the teacher to be cautious: „Avoid such scenes in public, you might land in hospital with a knife in your stomach.“
