Österreich-Ungarn und die nordischen Neutralen 1914-1917
Als sterreich-Ungarn 1914 seine Kriegserkl rungen aussprach, brach die Doppelmonarchie damit auch die diplomatischen Beziehungen zu den Kriegsgegnern im Ersten Weltkrieg ab. Daher kam den Vertretungen von Drittstaaten erh hte Bedeutung zu. Die der neutralen skandinavischen K nigreiche waren als Vermittler von Informationen und Importwaren aus dem feindlichen Ausland im Wiener Au enamt willkommen, sp ter auch als Adressaten von vorsichtigen Friedensbem hungen. Die in den folgenden Jahren verfassten Berichte, Telegramme, Briefe aus den nordischen Metropolen nach Wien sowie Instruktionen und Direktiven des Wiener Au enamtes an die Diplomaten in den skandinavischen Hauptst dten bieten in ihren tagesaktuellen oder grunds tzlichen Schriftst cken zu Kriegsereignissen, Handelsbeziehungen, Sympathien oder m glichen Kriegseintritten auf Seiten der Mittelm chte viele engagierte, witzige, ber hrende, aber auch befremdende pers nliche Stellungnahmen der Diplomaten.

'They Must Be Stopped' is 'New York Times' bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel's warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam-we must act soon, and powerfully. Gabriel challenges our western and politically-correct notions about Islam, demonstrating why radical Islam is so deadly and how we can halt its progress.Brigitte Gabriel speaks her mind: Islam is a religion rooted in 7th century teachings that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and equality; Radical Islamists are utterly contemptuous of all 'infidels' (non-Muslims) and regard them as enemies worthy of death; There are madrassas in America, and they are just one part of a growing radical Islamic army.Radical Islam exploits our legal system, our fairness, and our tolerance, by using our protection of religion to spread its hatred for western values; and, we must effectively organize a unified voice that says 'enough' to political correctness, and demands that government officials and our elected
