Afghan Muslim Arrested After Shouting 'Islamic Slogans' in Vienna Catholic Cathedral
2020-11-02
[BREITBART] A young Moslem man burst into Saint Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna on Saturday morning shouting "Islamic slogans" until he was subdued and arrested by police.Security officials cordoned off the cathedral and the surrounding area after the incident in preparation for Sunday’s Christian feast of All Saints’ Day.

Vienna City Police Command reported that the 25-year-old Afghan man made a "confused impression" on the police but that no weapons or questionable objects were found on his person or in the church building during a search. Nonetheless, the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Combating Terrorism was alerted and is carrying out an investigation of the case.

Saturday’s incident followed a disturbance on Thursday at Vienna’s St. Anthony of Padua church, when a mob of nearly 50 young Ottoman Turkish Moslems entered the church and began kicking the pews and confessionals.

St. Anthony’s is located in Vienna’s Favoriten district, a neighbourhood that is home to one of the Vienna’s largest Moslem populations. The pastor of the church who was present at the time notified the police, who eventually arrived after the young people had already dispersed.

"We oppose any form of extremism with the utmost severity, there is no tolerance," declared Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer after the event. "We in Austria will never let our right to exercise our religion be destroyed and we will protect the Christian community with all our might."

Due to recent events, authorities have instructed all police to monitor public areas more intensively, especially in the Favoriten district.
