"Austrian Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker announced that Federal Government's Council of Ministers was working to curb 'foreign legal systems that threaten democracy' - after a recent civil court decision dramatically backed the use of Sharia law - during a press conference in Vienna on Wednesday, "It is a matter of legal systems or provisions in legal systems that are incompatible with our social law system and democratic constitutional system," he claimed. On asylum seekers, he also added that there would be "zero tolerance for those who have found protection in Austria or live here but cannot identify with our social order." "We want to send a clear signal that Austrian law applies here, and that is our benchmark," he said. It comes after Vienna Regional Court for Civil Matters ruled that a decision to settle a financial dispute between two Muslim men based on Sharia law was in fact legally valid in the country."
