Austria: Hitler photos found on imam’s cell phone

The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

“Operation Luxor: Hitler photos on an imam’s cell phone,” translated from “Operation Luxor: Hitler-Fotos auf dem Handy eines Imams,” by Kid Möchel, Michaela Reibenwein, and Dominik Schreiber, Kurier, January 14, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):

The investigation against alleged supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas is not really progressing well. After the house searches (“Operation Luxor”), the seizure of accounts and the refusal to allow access to files were annulled as unlawful, the suspicion against meanwhile about 100 accused persons proves to be tenuous.

Now, however, a so-called chance find is causing a stir. While analysing the mobile phone of an imam, the investigators found four so-called WhatsApp stickers with the portrait of Adolf Hitler in two chat rooms for pupils. On one photo, “the Führer” gives the Hitler salute, on another he depicts a heart using both hands, and on a third, the word “seductive” is inscribed below Hitler’s portrait. The corresponding chat histories themselves are missing from the file.
