Austria Will Shutter 7 Mosques And Review Residency Of Dozens Of Imams
The crackdown follows a 2015 law that bars foreign financing of religious institutions in Austria, but critics say it's driven by Islamophobia.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz announced Friday he will close seven mosques and review the visas of dozens of imams, because they may violate a 2015 law banning foreign funding of religious groups and institutions.
Kurz explained his government is enforcing that law.
