This is a result of the relationship between the Austrian Empire and Ottoman Empire, who were allies during World War I. The number of Muslims today is 750,000+ (out of total 8.5 million) and there is no shortage of Halal here. Enjoy this photo of Masjid Telfs, with a beautiful backdrop of the Austrian Alps!
