40 Percent Of Austrian Migrants, Believed Religious Law Always Supersedes Secular Law, Are They Right?

Some interesting survey figures here, but it is not all bad, four out of five refugees said they agreed men and women were equal.

IMO they're wrong - which is why I abhor Sunday Trading Law in this country.

Contra headline:

Over Half of Immigrants to Austria uphold the law of the land rather than the ones of their own religion.

I abhor Sunday Trading Law in Germany ... I have to abandon the shopping and go drinking instead!

I don't think they are.

[cassa333]

No. Obviously so because if they don't uphold the law of the land they may go to prison.

[New Judge]

You would probably find a similarly high percentage of immigrants in the UK (and indeed of those who were born here to immigrant ancestors) ) would fell the same.

I thought ANOTHEOLDGIT had dismissed surveys as being unrepresentative?

//40 Percent Of Austrian Migrants//

I hadn't realised Austrians were migrating as well, has the trouble spread to Austria now, how did I miss that?

[Jackdaw33]

I thought the same Balders but didn't speak for fear of being called pedantic (by the AB pedants).

[Baldric]

Sticks and stones JD.

[Jackdaw33]

Quite right, DB. It is a specialist subject, way outside my pay grade.

[jourdain2]

If so, 47% need to be told to go away, don't they? I'd need paying as well Jackdaw - not going to waste pedantry on the desert air!

[jourdain2]

^^ Yes, I know about the spelling - but it would be wasted on anyone but a pedant!

[naomi24]

If it's only 40% I'd be willing to bet there were a lot of liars among those questioned.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT is the survey reliable? Have they spoken to enough folk?
