Austria’s Operation Luxor: Anti-terrorism or Islamophobia?

During the raids, dubbed “Operation Luxor,” the Austrian authorities interrogated individuals exclusively on matters of faith, asking questions such as “Do you pray?” and “How often do you pray?” The documentary also cites Bridge’s factsheet on Lorenzo Vidino, as Al Jazeera notes that the Austrian government utilized Vidino’s research as evidence to support the raids. Vidino also served as a witness against the suspects during these investigations.
