Smearings labeled with a derogatory term appeared on church property in Vienna.
On 1 September 2025, multiple instances of graffiti were discovered on the public announcement boxes outside Canisiuskirche, located at Lustkandlgasse 36 in Vienna’s 1090 district. The markings included the word “Kafir,” a derogatory term for non-believers in Arabic.
The smearings were documented by a local observer and reported to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe.
No suspects were identified.
