Man praying in the Mosque run by Bosnians. At the 23rd of June unknown have installed a pig's head at the portal of the mosque.
There has been a dramatic increase in attacks against refugees and migrants in Austria in 2016. The attacks vary from shooting with an air rifle to setting fire, throwing firework and projectiles at asylum accommodation centers and fixing a pig head at the door of a mosque. The offenders are sought in extreme right-wing circles but rarely caught and trialed. In contrast to Germany this is not common in Austria. This trend takes place in the light of rising populism in Europe.
