Yodelling offends praying Muslims, say judges
http://www.austriantimes.a ^

Posted on 11/30/2010 10:15:02 AM PST by marthemaria

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).

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 believe it was invented by Finns and used in their Winter War against the Soviet invaders.:
When Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov claimed in radio broadcasts that the Soviet Union was not dropping bombs but rather delivering food to the starving Finns, the Finns started to call the air bombs Molotov bread baskets. Soon they responded by attacking advancing tanks with "Molotov cocktails" which were "a drink to go with the food".

“I’d open my windows and blast some classic rock music,preferrably Chicago. They are my favorite band.Their songs from the late 60’s throught the 70’s are the best.”

I’m sorry I didn’t see this yesterday, so I didn’t reply earlier, but I agree. Chicago was a great band and made great music. :) Now I’ve got yesterday...in the sun...in my head. :) I’m probably not remembering the lyrics right.

Thank you for that post—their songs are happy and put you in a good mood. :)
