Allah in Europe (3/8): The way to paradise - Austria | Documentary series

In a town near Budapest, Jan witnesses the ritual slaughter of ten cows for Id al-Adha, the "Feast of Sacrifice". The meat is distributed to Muslim families across Hungary as well as to soup kitchens for non-Muslims.

Jan's next stop on his journey through Europe is Austria. Ramazan Demir, a teacher for Islam at one of Vienna's biggest schools, discusses the Austrian Islam law with his students. Besides his teaching job, he volunteers as a counselor for Muslim prisoners.

The most famous Austrian cake, Sachertorte, is produced as halal for the export to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Islamic countries. To get certified as halal, a lot of rules have to be followed.

The summer resort of Zell am See is flooded by rich Arab tourists from the Gulf States. Jan talks with them about the Islamic clothing rules.

What is the future of Islam in Europe? How hopeful can we be on an European, enlightened version of Islam? Is that something Muslims themselves actually want? And will it be possible to overcome the Europeans’ distrust of Islam?

Jan Leyers goes in search of answers. He heads off to Sarajevo, Budapest, Vienna, Hamburg, Paris, London, Copenhagen and Malmö. He listens to the voice of experts and the word on the street and talks with religious men and women, with ex-believers and new converts. What do they hope for and what are their concerns? In this series, Jan stays true to his style: nuanced and respectful, without shying away from controversy.
