In unserer freien Gesellschaft darf es keine Toleranz für Intoleranz geben.“ Es gehe hier um keine Auseinandersetzung zwischen Christen und Muslimen oder zwischen Österreichern und Migranten, sondern es sei ein Kampf „zwischen Zivilisation und Barbarei“, zwischen den vielen Menschen, die an den Frieden glauben und jenen wenigen, die sich den Krieg wünschen. „Diesen Kampf werden wir mit aller Entschlossenheit führen“, versicherte der Bundeskanzler.
