Austrian President Heinz Fischer has urged his compatriots to avoid discrimination against Muslims. The speech was made at the Eid al-Fitr feast held at the largest mosque in Austria. The president underlined that Muslims living in Austria must follow the local laws. Austria is a secular state, he noted. About 5,000 people arrived at the largest mosque of Austria, built at the Islamic Center in Vienna. It is the first such high-scale marking of the feast. The president is expected to take part in celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Islam in Austria in the future.
