Via Austrian Times:
Freedom Party (FPÖ) leader Heinz-Christian Strache has announced a referendum over minarets if he wins the upcoming Vienna election.
The right-winger announced today (Tues) he will hold a referendum to let residents decide whether they want a law preventing the construction of minarets in the capital.
He said: "I will immediately hold a referendum over the issue if I become mayor, and I will also change construction regulations."
There are hundreds of houses of prayers and Muslim community centres in Vienna, but just one mosque with a minaret.
