Denmark Moves to Ban the Islamic Call to Prayer Nationwide and Says It Has No Place Over Danish Rooftops

Denmark is moving towards a nationwide ban on the Islamic call to prayer, with senior ministers arguing the public broadcast of the adhan has no place in the country's soundscape. The proposal has triggered fierce debate over religious freedom, integration and whether the measure crosses a constitutional line.

The proposed ban has become one of the most contentious religious policy discussions in Denmark in recent years, with supporters framing it as a defence of secular public space and critics warning it risks marginalising religious minorities.

Why Morten Bødskov Wants Denmark to Ban the Islamic Call to Prayer

Morten Bødskov, Denmark's business minister and a senior figure in the governing Social Democrats, made the government's position clear in unusually blunt terms.

'The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops,' Bødskov told Ritzau. 'It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn't be in any doubt whether you've ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark.'

Too bad that won’t happen here. The islamists can hide behind freedom of religion here, even though it is an intolerant, aggressive, anti-American cult.

So the Danes STILL have some Viking blood in their veins after all.

What makes Danmark so unique in today’s European enslavement to Islam? This is an excellent precedent and I hope it is enforced at the end of a pike.

GREAT DANES are not just a dog breed but a people of substance.
May this law spread...

Islam is not a religion, no more than International Socialism (Marxist Communism) is a religion. It is a somewhat more loosely defined form of socialism, and its body of law is incompatible with the law of most Western nations, which, believe it or not, are founded in the Ten Commandments. Nowhere in the Koran is there any mention of the Ten Commandments, or the Golden Rule, or the concepts of mercy and compassion.

While both Islam and Communism may have their True Believers, that is more on the order of zealotry, than anything resembling a Divine Calling to the Light.

There is nothing divine in either Islam or Communism.

Freedom of religion doesn’t mean you can disturb the peace 5 times a day.

The question is do local authorities have the stinrs to enforce it.

In red states and cities maybe....in blue ones it will be protected over everything else.

There’s still hope for the little country. They should just kick the muzzies out - then they would have a nice country again.

I hope the Danes follow through with this. Maybe there’s some hope for them after all.

Why do moslems need a call to prayer?

Do they not know how to tell time? Or do they just like being obtrusive and obnoxious?
