Austria: Muslims attack demon Krampus in traditional Christmas parade

Dec 14, 2016 9:29 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Another violent story highlighting a clash of civilizations and assimilation problems. In Western culture, you don’t attack people en masse and at random because you have “sexual emergencies”; nor do you attack people dressed up as “demonic mountain spirits” in a parade.

“Clash as teenagers face off against Krampus”, The Local, December 8, 2016:

Things got a little more exciting than usual at the annual Krampus parade in the small town of St. Johann in Pongau when a group of teenagers attacked the demonic mountain spirits.

According to a report in the Oesterreich daily, a group of young Turkish teens were provoked by the boisterous display of the Krampus performers, and physically attacked them during a procession near Salzburg on Tuesday night.

The parade consisted of around 40 Krampus-costumed locals, many of whom had already thoroughly warmed themselves with a few drinks, as is traditional.

Krampus is part of a Christmas tradition at this time in Austria and parts of southern Germany, which sees a parade of masked young men, dancing through the street dragging chains and giant metal sleds with fire and noise-makers.

The Krampus is often known to punish onlookers, using long thin sticks to beat people around the legs, especially if they’re suspected of being naughty……

At least one 15-year-old Turkish youth was arrested after attacking a Krampus with his fists. Friends of his attempted to intervene in the arrest, however police quickly gained control, and made additional arrests.

Back in 2014, a woman was hospitalized after being attacked by a masked attacker dressed as Krampus.

    how horrible. I hope these traditional minded and boisterous Austrians got a few punches in. Whoever would have guessed there be a need for krampus-probably going to outlaw it now.

    Note the reference to some criminal who happened to be in a costume attacking someone 2 years ago, while this event saw multiple youths attacking festival-goers out of ethnic and religious hatred. not the same thing at all, though perhaps I should not assume the reference is malicious.

    “a group of young Turkish teens were provoked by the boisterous display”

    Victimhood at play here. Muslims are good at that, especially the young ones who know how to play to the gallery.

      If we had any sensitivity at all we’d know by know that Muslims are cherophobic (afraid of fun and gaiety) and have squelched our habits.

    Too bad St. Johan in Pongau has been blighted by these barbarians. It is one of them most scenic and breathtaking towns on Earth. It makes Salzburg look like Barstow. Krampus parades are nothing but good clean fun for all ages. Perhaps the Krampuses (Krampi?) were prescient about how naughty these Sons of Erdogan were and deserved the swat with a branch.
    Unfortunately, watch the dhimmi in Vienna ban all further Krampus Festivals so as to “not offend” a certain social group.

    I doubt the adherents of a certain victim faith would bother the Krampuses at Osttirol, Austria; check out their unique tradition on YouTube.

    “…group of young Turkish teens were provoked by the boisterous display of the Krampus performers…”

    I can’t help wondering how exactly they were “provoked.”

      Just by the mere existence of a haram tradition.

    Ooooh, I love those masks…Looks like something out of star wars….Actually, they look better than what I see in the movies…

    What fun! I love parades and celebrations, costumes and good fun.

    Shame on those nasty young men for spoiling people’s tradition and fun.

    If they didn’t want to get whacked, then they could have stayed away.

      Krampus is a fun tradition–nothing like the *real* violence of Islam.

  8. Michael Copeland says

    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:33 am

    ALL these festivals and customs are part of jahilliya – the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.
    Islam imposes the duty to extinguish them.
    This is part of the multi-faceted and “diverse” war that Islam continuously wages.

    So we’ve become so enlightened that we eliminated our walls and gates, and instead of driving back the barbarians, we invite them in to share drinks and cultural traditions with them?

    I can’t wait for the end of cultural and moral relativism, but I grieve for all the suffering that otherwise reasonable people will endure on the path to reclaiming the wisdom that was plain before political correctness came on the scene.

    How ironic — demon possessed mohammedans attack those *dressed* as demonic mountain spirits. Actions speak louder than costumes.

    • FYI says

      Dec 15, 2016 at 6:16 am

      Irony is not something that members of the Religion of Peace understand.
      Like when they are on a violent rampage insulting God by their wicked behavior whilst shouting
      “allahu akbar”.
      Or when their warped “allah” encourages his followers to slay the unbeliever in direct violation of God’s
      Sixth commandment and yet moslems don’t see anything wrong with that….

    There is NO assimilation ‘problem’! In 1,400 years, Muslims have not assimilated to ANY other culture and they never will!

    “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch.

    I wonder is there a college where young Austrians learn about such native traditions?
    It’s really important to keep such old traditions alive else the EUSSR-sorry the EU..will destroy them.

    I’ve had it… These imbeciles start this crap; just shoot them. And put out a warning to any muslim that if they disturb any part of tradition or culture in the host country, because it doesn’t conform to islam, they will be shot and the rest of their family sent back to their home country the same day. If they’re “offended”, leave.

    Oh, they were “provoked”? The poor, little, innocent snowflakes!!! Must have been a case of xeno/islamophobia, how the big, meanie masked people went after the poor muslim Turks and no one else whatsoever… /sarc. off

    The Turks were certainly wrong in exhibiting their normal behavior of attacking someone with whom they disagree, but I would take offense if I were hit by one of those reeds by a Krampus. There used to be a custom among a certain US men’s club in which they would parade down the street with a rolling jail and imprison attractive young women inside and roll them along the street. A couple of lawsuits declared this was assault and I don’t think they do it anymore. However, parading down the street in costume and assaulting bystanders is against the law in the US. I don’t know about Germany.

    • Alien Republican says

      Parading in costumes is found in many European countries. Often of pagan origin. The “provocation” is nothing but a culturally accepted form of scaring bystanders.
      Here an example from Switzerland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWyr5nt7uvc .

        It’s still annoying. I got hit in the head by a parade Hexen years ago during a Fasching parade. It’s irritating, believe me, and the initial reaction is to want to slap them back.

  17. Lucretius says

    Dec 15, 2016 at 3:43 pm

    Too many Muslims suspected of being naughty, not enough Krampuses beating them with sticks.

  18. Andy says

    Dec 15, 2016 at 11:35 pm

    Without meaning to minimize the “migrant” invasion, those Krampus guys can actually be annoying , as are the Hexen in the Fasching parades in Southwest Germany. I can understand getting irritated by them – sometimes you just don’t want to play along with the parade.

    This “journalist” is a bloody idiot. He thinks this is something lighthearted, instead of what it is–Muslims attacking Infidel celebrations.
