Muslim Call to Prayer to Be Banned in Denmark in Crackdown on "Islamization"
(GB News-UK) Dan McDonald - Denmark is set to ban the Islamic call to prayer under plans for a radical crackdown on "Islamization." Morten Bodskov of the Social Democrats party confirmed that the newly-elected Danish Government would probe whether such a prohibition would be legal. He told Danish news outlet Ritzau: "The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops. 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." The Minister of Immigration and Integration said a gradual "Islamization" was "taking up too much of the public space." Local regulations in certain parts of Denmark, including Copenhagen, already prevent the call from being amplified due to noise restrictions. During the 2015 refugee crisis, when more than one million people sought "sanctuary" in Europe from the Middle East, Denmark admitted significantly fewer asylum seekers than its neighbors.
