I left my homecountry Austria in early 2016 due to its political development- racism is back - as in ancient times. The public language is crippling and now in times of political election campaigns it becomes unbearable. The escalation began in 2015 in the refugee crisis, when it suddenly became salonous again to insult Islam and its followers, because there is jihad and viennese Islamic nursery schools are classified as problematic. The language of the right-wing extremists sneaks in at the back door, and the country´s voice got somehow very brutal. Voices that try to explain the problems of refugees, voices of humanity and tolerance are increasingly bluffed and threatened. There was an outcry in the country, when the President of the Republic even made a hint that it would make sense in the future -as a mark of women's solidarity -to wear a headscarf, of course not permanently. Islam in itself is no longer seen as what it is, an oratory force in this world, a world religion, but it is regarded as an inferior movement. In contrast to this there is hardly any criticism of the President of the United States in Austria's press; it is taken for granted, and it is silence about the fact that this man directs the West into the downfall.
In Austria, they consider themselves lucky with the western values and nobody recognizes that Islam could contribute much to compensate for the generation conflict, because it respects the old people, instead of locking them in retirement homes and feeding them pills. It is seen as normal that parents are no longer able to raise their children, but the children dictate the everyday life of parents and the natural authority structure has been reversed. Often, in the western world, it is the family dog that is playing the role of the head of the family. They bend themselves to an unrestrained, godless capitalism that destroys families and - they accuse the Muslims of dishonesty, they same way as they did in the 30ties with jewish people. Austrians got blind in the estimation of the drug problems (including alcohol) in the West and mean, on the other hand, only liberal punishment and better education are the way out. The school system has been "reformed to death" for years and is slipping down constantly in international comparison. The values of the West from the much-praised "Enlightenment" - liberty, equality, brotherhood (meanwhile degenerating into ridiculousness) are repeated in prayer without criticism. The freedom of women became the freedom of poverty, as a single mother, marriages crushing due to the pressure of workload, alcohol, sexual freedom, and - more and more sexual confusion. This is no longer my world.
I am not yet a Muslim.I am no longer a Christian. I am learning Arabic and trying to understand what happens, it is simply incredible. I have left Austria and I live abroad, as an observer. Check this , Austria was exhorted from the EU-government already in 2015:

The price to leave Autria was high but it was worth it. I will continue to report as Elhakim.
