A decades-long dispute over a mosque and Koran school in Leonding, Upper Austria, is escalating once again after city authorities officially confirmed that the religious site is operating illegally, Austrian Express reports. The mosque, run by the “Islamic Assembly and Educational Association,” occupies space in a commercial property on Welserstraße. Its landlord, Siegfried Meinhart, has been fighting an expensive legal battle to remove the tenants for years, but the Islamist group shows no signs of leaving.
