Dear All,
Seen on the BBC site today :
Austria to shut seven 'political' mosques and expel imams
. . . Some mosques are suspected of having links to Turkish nationalists. In
April images emerged showing children in Turkish army uniforms re-enacting
the World War One Battle of Gallipoli. . .
The Gallipoli re-enactment performance took place in a Vienna mosque
reported to be run by ATIB. The WW1 battle, one of the last victories of the
Ottoman Empire, stopped Allied forces reaching its capital, Constantinople.
Austrian media report (in German) that the child actors played dead and were
covered with Turkish flags.
