Turkish origin people create rukus in Austrian church

Turkish origin people create rukus in Austrian church

Vienna, Oct 31 (UNI) In yet another incident of inter faith clashes, Austrian media reported on Saturday an event where about 50 people of Turkish heritage rushed into the city's St. Anthony of Padua Church and created a rukus.
As per the Kurier newspaper, the incident took place on late Thursday, with the young Turks kicking benches and the confessional chamber while chanting “Allahu Akbar!”
A priest called the police but the assaulters had left the site before the officers arrived. The regional department of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counterterrorism believes that the group of radical Turkish extremists, which is operating in the area, is responsible the incident.
Both Interior Minister Karl Nehammer and Chancellor Sebastian Kurz have condemned the incident.
“All Christians must have a right to freely and safely practice their faith in Austria! We will firmly continue the fight against political Islam and refrain from false tolerance here,” Kurz wrote on his Twitter page.
Europe has been facing a spike in the incidents related to radical Islam since the brutal beheading of a French history teacher by a radicalized teen in Paris and the tough rhetoric of French President Emmanuel Macron following this attack.
