Yodelling offends praying Muslims, say judges

An Austrian has been fined for yodelling while mowing his lawn, according to a report.

The Kronen Zeitung newspaper claims Helmut G. was told by a court in Graz, Styria, that his yodelling offended his next-door Muslim neighbours.

The men reportedly accused the 63-year-old of having tried to mock and imitate the call of the Muezzin. The daily paper writes the Austrian was fined 800 Euros after judges ruled he could have tried to offend them and ridicule their belief. The Muslims, whose nationalities were not revealed by the report, were right in the middle of a prayer when the Austrian started to yodel.

"It was not my intention to imitate or insult them. I simply started to yodel a few tunes because I was in such a good mood" the man told the newspaper today (Mon).

Hehe this is just stupid.

[Frantzie]

It is evil. They pretty much control American Tv and the muslim.

Offended and not outraged? Huh.

This could be solved with that invention by the Ruskkies....you know, a glass jar, some petrol, a rag and proper application of spark?

I’m gonna take up yodeling then.

800 Euros?

That’s like what, 25 cents?

I wonder how they’d feel about that `80s disco hit “Tarzan Boy”?

No more like 1000 USD.

"I wonder how they’d feel about that `80s disco hit “Tarzan Boy"

Or just about any Slim Whitman song.

ROFL!

Stop me if you've heard this one:

Interesting piece of history

In 1872 the muslims invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine.

In 1873 the British somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.

To make up for it Helmut should send his neighbor a Palestinian Alarm Clock

Uhmm, that would be “Valderi, Valdera.”

So, the muslims can jabber prayers but this guy can’t yodel? I think I’d hate to live in that neighborhood. Yodeling AND muslim prayers?
