Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In November 2020, as part of Operation Luxor, the home of Austrian Islamophobia scholar Farid Hafez was raided. In December 2023, I was made to withdraw from an almost-complete hiring process at the University of Vienna due to implicit antisemitism accusations. This article compares the two cases to highlight Austria’s uneven landscapes of censorship. In the German-speaking world and beyond, equalizing “anti-racism” or “anti-discrimination” frameworks can obscure crucial power differentials. Whereas an incitement to discourse propels forward antisemitism accusations (especially since October 7), mechanisms of silencing and repression constrain talk of Islamophobia. Simply put, one can easily lose one’s job over accusations of antisemitism but is far less likely to lose one’s job over the accusation of being Islamophobic. What is parallel to antisemitism and fought with equal vigor (and with equal or even more state and institutional support) is not Islamophobia but “Islamism.”

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
