Symbolen som populariserades av president Erdogan

i Turkiet symboliserar ett stöd för Brödraskapets

över hela världen...

The Austrian government is considering outlawing a

four-fingered salute representing support for the Muslim

Brotherhood. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

popularized it and began using it after Egypt's military

toppled the Brotherhood in 2013.

Muslim Brotherhood members and sympathizers around

the world use the image on websites, posters and literature.

If the ban is approved, anyone in Austria who flashes the

salute could be fined $4,600.

Erdogan's role in popularizing the gesture seems to be

driving the Austrian ban. It also would outlaw a wolf-head

like salute used by the pro-Erdogan Turkish fascist group

the Grey Wolves. Its most infamous member, Mehmet Ali

Agca, tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II in 1981.

The Wolves have become some of Erdogan's greatest

non-Islamist supporters and aim to unify all Turkic

peoples in Turkey across and throughout Central Asia

into a single nation.

Relations between Austria and Turkey have become tense

due to reports that Erdogan's intelligence agency, the MIT,

spied on Erdogan's enemies in Austria. In February 2017, a

member of Austria's Green Party alleged that an umbrella

organization headed by the Turkish embassy's religious

attaché had carried out spy operations in Austrian mosques.

Turkey was inserting "unacceptable Turkish government

politics in Austria," said Green Party member Peter Pilz.

Austria closed seven Turkish-linked mosques in June due

to concerns over political Islam. Chancellor Sebastian

Kurz complained about "parallel societies, political Islam

and radicalisation."

The Turks responded by accusing the Austrians of racism.

The imams were paid by Turkey's Directorate of Religious

Affairs, also called the Diyanet. It has a close relationship

with Turkey's MIT intelligence agency.
