Kurz told the German daily Die Welt in an interview:
"The EU must focus much more strongly on the problem of political Islam in the future. I hope we will see an end to this misunderstood tolerance and that all countries in Europe will finally realise how dangerous the ideology of political Islam is for our freedom and the European way of life. It must, with utmost determination and unity, wage a war against Islamist terror, but particularly against its political base, that is to say political Islam."He was speaking a day after a known Islamic extremist went on a shooting rampage in Vienna, killing four people in Austria's first terrorist attack in decades.
The Austrian leader said he was in contact with French President Emmanuel Macron and "many other government leaders so that we can coordinate more closely within the EU." Austria would put the issue on the agenda of upcoming EU summits, he added.
Islamic State — which has claimed numerous attacks in Europe — said Tuesday a "soldier of the caliphate" was responsible for the carnage, according to its propaganda agency.
Police shot the gunman dead on Monday and later swooped on 18 different addresses and made 14 arrests as they looked for possible accomplices and sought to determine if he had acted alone.
The police named the gunman as Kujtim Fejzulai, with North Macedonian and Austrian citizenship, described as a 20-year-old IS sympathiser who had spent time in prison.
After reviewing CCTV footage of the attack in an area teaming with bars and restaurants not far from the historic sights of central Vienna, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said the video "does not at this time show any evidence of a second attacker".
Vienna police have asked people who filmed the moment of the attack to share their recordings with the authorities to aid in tracking the gunman's route through the capital, rather than posting them to social media.
On Fejzulai's computer, investigators found incriminating evidence including a photograph recently posted on Facebook showing him carrying the automatic weapon and a machete used during the attack.
Police said he was also wearing a fake explosive belt.
All Muslims are instructed to live their lives based on the example of their Prophet, whom, they are told, was a "Perfect example. Their Prophet cut heads off of non-believers, and they are taught to do this Where ever non-believers are found. Some follow this example in order to secure their guaranteed place in Muslim heaven, and to qualify for a personal Harem of Virgins and dark eyed Houris. Islam says that Women "have no place in the sight of God", and they are admonished to cover all their nakedness, which means only the face may be seen.
The word "Islam" means "Total Submission"; this makes it impossible for followers to exercise free thought and decision making, because they are now committed to be instructed by the Koran, the Hadith's and the Sunna's. Any Muslim that decides to stop believing and following, exposes themselves to being executed, without penalty for the executioner, by any other believer.
Any Muslim, that denies these "Facts" cannot, by definition, be a true believer.
