Rudesheim has 120. Looking at pictures of both markets side-by-side, you wouldn't know which one was Bath and which was Rudesheim, except from - obviously - the architecture.
From their web page it seems they also have an international feel to their market, including " some Finnish specialities on the Drosselgasse or a taste of the Far East in the Mongolian marquee." so it wouldn't be unusual for people of different nationalities to have a stall there, although I doubt any of them are simply there to promote a religion of any kind rather than a business, be it items or food.
Had the Muslims in question been serving food from a particular nation or representing a shop or restaurant, I wonder if they would have been ejected from the market. Having a stall just to promote an ideology doesn't seem to be what the market would be about anyway.”

Which is the whole point!!!!!
Christmas arose because of the Christian religion. So why would you open a stall on a Christmas market, preaching about the Muslim religion, peacefully or otherwise?
It;'s called taking the piss.
