Austria to shut Saudi-backed religious dialogue center in rights protest - Reuters: Austria's government said on Wednesday it plans to shut a Saudi-funded center for religious dialogue in Vienna after parliament urged it to try to prevent the possible execution of a teenager in Saudi Arabia over acts committed when he was a minor.

This is a serious setback to the prospects for a more tolerant form of Islam not just in Saudi Arabia but more widely.
