However, the mood boils over after cries of “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) are heard at the gathering. It is not clear from the video as to who exactly chanted the words. Austrian media outlet Unser Tirol claims the chant came from the side of “IS [Islamic State, formerly ISIS] sympathizers” among the crowds of Muslim men. “Open up your eyes, the world is not that perfect, open up your eyes,” the man is seen shouting, before being hugged by a bystander.
Last week German media, citing an eyewitness, reported that the Munich mall attacker also shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the assault. German authorities neither confirmed nor denied the allegation. However, the mood changes after cries of “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) are heard at the gathering. The outlet says the shouts came from the very same group of young Muslims that had before expressed their outrage over the shooting. 
“You are doing an IS sign. Look he is doing an IS sign,” one man is heard shouting in the video of commemoration. The angle of the footage however does not give a proper view as to what, if any, gestures are being done or who exactly does them. It is not clear from the video as to who exactly chanted the words.
The calls of “Allahu Akbar” immediately cause a furor among a group of German males, who hit back “Shut up with that 'Allahu Akbar' shit, f**k you mother f***er.” Last week German media, citing an eyewitness, reported that the Munich mall attacker also shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the assault. German authorities neither confirmed nor denied the allegation.
This reaction prompts someone from the thick of the gathering to try and calm things down. “You are doing an IS [Islamic State, formerly ISIS/ISIL] sign. Look, he is doing an IS sign,” one man is heard shouting in the video. The angle of the footage does not however give a proper view as to what, if any, gestures are being made or who exactly makes them.
“Have respect, it’s a commemoration,” the voice says, though it’s not clear which part of the crowd it came from. The calls of “Allahu Akbar” immediately cause a furor among a group of German males, who then respond by saying, “Shut up with that 'Allahu Akbar' s**t, f**k you, mother f***er.”
“Allahu Akbar” is chanted several more times, triggering more fierce response from the German males. Some of them question police over not interfering in the verbal conflict. This reaction prompts someone from the gathering to try and calm the situation. “Have respect, it’s a commemoration. We have lost our countrymen here,” the voice is heard saying, apparently coming from the group of young Muslims. At least three of the victims in the Munich shooting were of Turkish origin.
“Where is the police, where is the police,” a man is seen shouting. Officers in riot gear then appear at the scene, trying to separate the lines of people. No arrests were made. “Allahu Akbar” is then chanted several more times, triggering another angry response from the German men. Some of them question why the police are not intervening in the altercation.
