What the petition asks
Saudi Arabia & Qatar are well known for funding Mosques and Masjids around the globe in order to promote their Salafist brand of Islam. A practical measure to slow the spread of Islamist extremism would be to remove such funding. Austria have already passed such a law earlier this year.
