On September 11, 1683, the two day Siege of Vienna commenced. The Holy League turned back the Muslim Turks' encroachment on Europe. [[John III Sobieski|John Sobieski]], King of [[Poland]], who was credited with saving [[Christendom]], said, "We came. We saw. God conquered." 330 years later, Muslims have occupied the city. Muslim students now outnumber [[Roman Catholic]] students at middle and secondary schools.<ref>[http://de.radiovaticana.va/storico/2014/03/21/österreich_mehr_muslime_als_katholiken_an_wiens_hauptschulen/ted-783480 Austria: More Muslims than Catholics at Vienna's main schools], 21/03/2014 (Original in German) </ref> Minister for Foreign Affairs and Integration Sebastian Kurz in 2016 called for the immediate closure of many Islamic kindergartens after discovering an isolation of children from the host culture, and teaching of radical [[Islamist]] ideology in the schools which recieve €30 million ($32 million USD) in state funding annually.<ref>[http://www.thelocal.at/20160229/muslim-preschools-linked-to-islamist-organisations Muslim preschools 'linked to Islamist groups'], ''The Local AT'' Austria's news in English, 29 February 2016. www.thelocal.at </ref>
Austria is in the process of introducing new taxpayer funded textbooks for the teaching of Islam. Previously, the main textbook used in [[public school]]s was authored by Yusuf al-Qaradawi entitled, ''The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam'', translated into German (''Erlaubtes und Verbotenes im Islam'').<ref>Immediately after the fall of [[Mubarak]] in [[Egypt]] during the "Arab Spring", Qaradawi returned to Egypt for the first time in 30 years to lead Friday prayers in Tahir Square before a crowd estimated at 2 million. Qaradawi has long been recognized as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. After this event Qaradawi issued a ''[[fatwa]]'' calling for the murder of [[Muamar Ghaddafi]]. </ref> Qaradawi teaches killing of apostates (''[[takfir]]is'') is essential for the survival of Islam.<ref>https://youtu.be/huMu8ihDlVA </ref> shariah law takes precedence over civil law, and Islam will conquer and rule Europe.<ref>https://youtu.be/eDtSqqciar0 </ref> Additionally, Qaradawi teaches women have fewer rights than men, has praised Hitler and the [[holocaust]],<ref>https://youtu.be/VcB_DZ4YQYQ </ref> and has offered Friday prayers for the destruction of America. Although his books have been withdrawn from schools, the textbooks are still widely available in [[Vienna]].
