AUSTRIAN TIMES: FPÖ leader Heinz-Christian Strache is courting controversy again after trivialising the Nazi crimes of Hitler's Third Reich.
Asked in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph what he thought about Hitler and his evil deeds and the accusations that he (Strache) still had Nazi ties, Strache said: "I am just not interested in that guy."

Austria Opens First Muslim Cemetery after Delays: Vienna - Austria's first Islamic cemetery opened Friday in Vienna, ending years of delay due partly to financing gaps and an arson attack while the complex was under construction. Funding by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was crucial to completing the site, which has space for 4,000 graves and was originally slated to open in 2003, Austrian media reported.
City authorities donated the land and part of the construction costs to the Islamic Community of Austria, which built the 3-million- euro (4.2-million-dollar) complex on a former industrial site on the capital's outskirts. It includes a mausoleum and offices. >>> DPA | October 3, 3008
