In the school year 2024-25, among the 112.600 Vienna school students in elementary and middle schools:

41% Muslims
35% Christians
1% Others (Jews etc.)
23% Without religious affiliation


The share of Muslim students has increased from 39% to 41% in the past school year.

Very worrying.
 

Austria is a Christian/laicist nation, not a Muslim one.

These people are forced upon us by our politicians in Austria and Europe who are completely out of touch with the average native Austrian person and who promote mass immigration from Muslim countries to transform our population ... in other words, our left-wing/elitist politicians hate us and our country and want to import millions of Muslims, so they can get more votes from them in the future. But with these policies, they are slowly destroying the country: we taxpayers have to subsidize millions of immigrants from abroad, who's only achievement has been to come here, never paid into the system before, but get generous payments immediately from the state. Not to mention all the integration efforts for all these people, who hardly speak a word or German. Billions of €s to be spent. Teachers in Vienna are not teachers anymore, but have to spend most of their time now teaching German to them and act as social workers most of the time. Instead of teaching the kids important things.

Are you sure there’s no economic reason your politicians are doing this to you? Is it because their real underlying purpose is to destroy Austria?

This isn't really local to Austria or Vienna specifically - at current birth and migration rates there are some estimates which say there will be zero majority-European countries left on the entire planet with the possible (highly ironic) exception of nations in South America like Argentina and Uruguay.

Now, whether this has arbitrary or serious consequences is a subject of intense debate. I made a blog post a few weeks ago about the obvious incongruence in values between the West and the global south + East and how exploding populations signals a second dark age of reactionary illiberal politics replacing the fruits of the uniquely European liberal enlightenment tradition.

You certainly get the impression that our politician's goals is secretly the transformation and destruction of our country through import and tolerance of Islam.

If they had our economic wellbeing in mind, they wouldn't import millions of (Western) culture-distant Muslims, but rather focus immigration on Christian/Non-Muslim immigrants such as from Vietnam, the Philippines, or Latin America. These are the people we need. Immigrants from Muslim countries bring all kinds of problem with them. They have a worldview that's stuck in the middle ages. Many of them even regard their faith as a military doctrine. They are almost not integrateable.
 
Austria is a Christian/laicist nation, not a Muslim one.
Does Austria's Constitution require that?

Besides, In 2022, only 8.3% of Austria's population identified as Muslim, so your paranoia is unfounded.

I see.

You might be surprised- but the Muslims here in the US tend to have an easier time integrating, and I think the reason is they tend to be the more educated/skilled ones. But we have the problem you are describing with your Muslim immigrants, but instead with our Central/South American immigrants- and they are supposedly Christian. So I am not sure the problem is as much religion as it is just being uneducated. Uneducated people tend to bring a lot of personal/social pathology with them, of whatever religion they are from. But then again, who else is going to do the jobs they are being hired to do?

So it's a real Catch-22 for modern economically developed nations. "Can't live with them, can't live without them."

These days, even traditionally very isolated and restrictive societies in terms of immigration have found they have to bring in unskilled labor if they want to keep their economies competitive.

A) No, because many aspects of our constitution are very liberal and leftist and therefore out of date. Much of it is connected to EU law, which is similarly outdated and out-of-touch. For example, no EU-country can deport people to Syria or Afghanistan or most other Muslim countries. Once these people are here, you cannot get them out of the country anymore, even if they commit crimes.

B) It's increasing rapidely. There's 40k to 80k Muslim immigrants each year.

Here is my view:

I would rather grow old and see my country's population decline and our economy adapt and maybe decline too, but live along only with my people (or culture-similar likeminded folks) ... rather than being slowly replaced by Muslims.
 
I guess it's nice to see that it's not only the USA that suffers from the "great replacement" bogeyman.

I recall the blog post. Unless it undergoes some kind of enlightenment Islam is a regressive, brutal, misogynistic religio political ideology. Much more so than say Buddhism. I will rather have it were Buddhist birth rate surging. I will take a Buddhist Republic of Austria over an Islamic Republic of Austria anytime. My preference is Austria remains Christian, secular and democratic

White people are a global minority and apparently it bothers some of them.

Probably because they’re afraid that “others” will treat them the way white people have historically treated non-white people 🤷‍♀️

euthanasia is your recommendation?

8% is only?
 
Why?

Racism much?

You are a good Christian, right?

Being a good Christian doesn't mean inviting and letting in the whole world to our country. Especially not people of a opposing faith (Muslims), many of which have a belief that is extremely worrying and militaristic (jihad, trying to conquer and destroy opposing faiths).

Being a good Christian being naive.

I'm not familiar - does the 'great replacement' posit that the replacement is intentional and sinister and that's why you call it a boogeyman, holding that there is no evidence of intention?

If we're just looking at the data - sans intention - this is an objective reality.

The implication is that conquest and domination is a uniquely white trait, which is obviously incorrect. Europeans have never approached a global majority and have always been below Eurasia in terms of population. Global conquest was only made possible by vastly superior technology and administrative capabilities. Ironically, Europeans would often use existing native ethnic conflict to their advantage!
 

The original theory states that, with the complicity or cooperation of "replacist" elites,[a][5][8] the ethnic French and white European populations at large are being demographically and culturally replaced by non-white peoples—especially from Muslim-majority countries—through mass migration, demographic growth and a drop in the birth rate of white Europeans.

If the standard is 'complicity' (which I interpret as being involved in lawmaking, which politicians are) is this conspiracy theory not true? To be clear, I wouldn't say complicity implies malice necessarily.

"In short, the "great replacement" is a conspiracy theory that states that nonwhite individuals are being brought into the United States and other Western countries to "replace" white voters to achieve a political agenda. It is often touted by anti-immigration groups, white supremacists and others, according to the National Immigration Forum."
