RAIR Interview: Freedom Fighter Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff
"Who does it fall upon to speak out against threats like sharia law? In many places, politicians, the media establishment and educational institutions have failed to protect their societies.
In Austria, this responsibility has been shouldered by Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. Her father was a diplomat and she herself worked for years in foreign embassies. She got an intimate understanding of Islamic doctrines while living and working in Kuwait and Libya.
When she
returned to Vienna, she decided to begin educating her fellow Austrians about
the true nature of Islam and Sharia law. Elisabeth had been giving seminars for
a few years when, in 2010, she ran into legal trouble. She was charged with
"inciting hatred." Then, at the discretion of the judge, a second charge was
added: "denigration of religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion."
