That law basically states that muslim preachers in hospitals or who are teaching at schools or universities have to BE ABLE to speak german, so that the german-only speaking muslims, who exist as well, can understand them. The concept is called "official language of a country".
Right-Wing parties in Turkey are criticizing the law. The muslim organisations inside Austria are supporting it.
The law has nothing to do with the refugee-crisis.
EDITED: the muslim youth-organization in Austria oppose the law. The official organisation isn't happy with some points, for example that the law forbids financing their religious organisations with foreign money, but they state that "It's a compromise, which seems to come close to both sides."
The law definitely isn't perfect, but it's a different topic.
- phaer 11y agoI don't have a strong opinion on the that law, but it's just not true that most muslim organisations in Austria support it. Their official representatives, the IGGÖ are rather critical[1], the muslim youth of Austria strongly opposed it[2]. Both links are in german, sorry. But you are, of course, right that this law has nothing to do with war refugees entering austria.
