Disregarding the curfew, some forty youngsters got together in Vienna s Favoriten district shortly after midnight, and they began rampaging around whouting the words Allahu Akbar.

They set fire to garbage pails, hurled firecrackers, smashed shopwindows and tried to break into a jewellery shop. The migrants also attacked police officers arriving at the scene.

Police records have now revealed additional details regarding the turmoil. A Christmas tree erected in the district was showered with a mixture of diesel and petrol and set ablaze, Austrian news outlet Heute reported.

„A Christmas tree has no place in a Muslim district, one rioter said,” recalled an officer who was on duty during the disturbance.
