To Dymphna,

My late mother and

My daughter, on behalf of all the girls out there who deserve nothing but love and protection.

Acknowlegments

T hank yous inevitably lead to leaving someone out. Even so, I will attempt to express my gratitude as comprehensively as I possibly can.

First and foremost, I thank my husband and my daughter. They are my fortress, my strength, my reason for being. They graciously gave their consent when I told them I would be away for two months to write my book, and they continue being gracious when Im on the roadagain. I love you more than I could ever convey.

Writing a book that includes autobiographical information entailed delving into my very young years. While my recollection of events in my early childhood was and is quite good, I am grateful to my father for our recent conversations, digging deep into our memories. More importantly, it was my father who sat behind me in court on every day I was there. For a father, this must have been a painful experience. Thank you.

My mother recently passed away, and those who knew her would agree that she was a formidable woman. She was certainly a powerful force in my life. She was never really able to deal with her daughter being persecuted by the Austrian authorities. I am certain she felt acute pain in seeing her daughter vilified by the media, the church, politicians and many others. Only much later did she come to the conclusion that the words leading to my conviction were not as evil as portrayed by others; many a friend apparently praised me and my actions, even calling me a hero. This is what my mother always lived by: no matter the circumstances, smile, pick up the pieces and keep going. And this is what I try to embody and teach my daughter as well.

I know my mother-in-law worries constantly about my safety, yet she always supports me, knowing that I am doing the right thing. Thank you.

In the past decade, I have been through a steep learning curve with regard to Islam, Socialism, Marxism and other totalitarianisms; oftentimes, I felt like I was working hard toward a PhD. My teachers were the best of the best. In no particular order: I am grateful to Christian Zeitz, Stephen Coughlin, Clare Lopez, Diana West, Robert Spencer, Andrew Bostom, Rabbi Jonathan Hausman, John Guandolo, Frank Gaffney, Allen West, Karen Siegemund, Trevor Loudon, James Simpson, Bat Yeor, Katie Hopkins, Christopher Hull.

Where would I be without my fearless group of warriors who are joining me every year in the lions den at the OSCE conferences in Warsaw and Vienna. Thank you for standing up for Western civilization, for freedom, for our childrens future.

Whenever a milestone of a verdict passed I thanked the army of supporters.

I wrote the following words shortly after the first verdict in 2011:

Yesterday was a crucial day in our fight against the Islamization of Europe and for the future of our civilization. As most of you know, I was acquitted of the charge of hate speech, but found guilty of denigrating religious teachings of a legally recognized religion. I am sure that you also know that this religion is Islam.

I can tell you that I am shaken to the core; not so much about the guilty verdictthat was a given from the startbut about the judges explanation for the verdict. [...] It was indeed a dark day for young girls in Austria. What shocks me most, however, is that the judge is a woman who should know better. The reasoning used in her judgment is despicable, and a slap in the face for every woman and girl, from every race, religion, or nationality. Marrying and molesting a child is not to be tolerated, not in the 6th century, not in the 16th century, and definitely not in the 21st century. One would expect a woman, let along a judge, to know this. But the future and the appeals court will hopefully show that this judgment is morally and factually wrong.

Since the curtain has now fallen on the first act of this tragedy, I now want to do a round of thanks. I am indebted to so many people from all over the world, and I will try to do my best to mention most of them here.

First and foremost, I want to honor the Counterjihad Collective, especially Baron Bodissey of Gates of Vienna . Without the tireless and selfless effort of these fine people, all of whom I am privileged to call friends, my case would have remained what it currently is in the mainstream media: ignored, at best vilified. It is amazing for me to see the results of this fine-tuned effort on a daily basis.

Imagine the following: My lawyer sends me a document regarding my case; I in turn send it to the German-English translators JLH and Rembrandt Clancy, who in no time return the translation to me. Baron Bodissey edits and posts on Gates of Vienna . Once the document is published, other translators grab the post and disseminate it in their blogs; other English language bloggers publish on their blogs.

If I am interviewed on camera, Vlad Tepes and KitmanTV are on hand to YouTube these reports, and Baron Bodissey is on hand to post. Transcribers are called to action, with translators, to subtitle if needed.

The result is without a doubt the most comprehensive reporting about Counterjihad activities currently available. The MSM are not doing their jobs, we are. And we should be proud of this achievement. A big Thank You to all involved in this.

Second, I want to thank my family and friends for their support in these hard times. On many an evening was I cranky after having spent more than ten hours poring over the Quran, the hadith , and The Reliance of the Traveller . You all know just how horrible the contents of these books are, and I can now tell you that studying Islamic texts can affect your psyche. I want to honor my daughter, who was more than patient when Mommy had an important Skype call to discuss some point raised by my lawyer.

Which brings me to my brilliant legal team. Dr. Rami and Mr. Strobl have been thrown into the cold water of Islamic doctrine. In little more than a year, they both became more knowledgeable in Islamic teachings than the majority of the population. They are now aware of the teachings of the Quran, they now know all about the shariah and its implications on our free society. And they did a marvelous job defending me and Western civilization. Thank you.

Heartfelt thanks and appreciation are also more than due to my supporters, be they politicians, bloggers, donors, and those who comment in those blogs and newspaper forums, whether you are from Europe, the United States, Canada or Australia.

Thank you to many political leaders for repeatedly bringing up my case. Those political parties who so far have not understood the ramifications of this case will be judged by history.

Thank you also to the Wiener Akademikerbund, ACT! for America, Citizens Movement Pax Europa, Riposte Laque, and all other organizations that support me and continue to support me so generously. Without you I could not have gone through with this.

Thank you to the numerous well-wishers and supporters who have written to me in the past hours and days, or have written thoughtful comments about yesterdays outcome.
