It seems as though in Austria, the popular yodel is an insult to Muslims.
An Austrian court has recently fined a citizen for yodeling while mowing his lawn, according to a report in The Kronen Zeitung newspaper.
The citizen, 63-year-old Helmut G., was told by the court that his yodeling offended his next-door Muslim neighbors, who accused him of trying to mock and imitate the call of the Muezzin.
In Muslim tradition, the Muezzin is the chosen person at a mosque who leads the call to prayer at Friday services and the five daily times for prayer from one of the mosque’s minarets.
The yodel is a song which is sung with an extended note which rapidly and repeatedly changes in pitch and makes a high-low-high-low sound. Developed in the Central Alps as a method of communication between alpine mountaineers or between alpine villages, the yodel later became part of the region’s traditional lore and musical expression. The technique is used in many cultures throughout the world and Austria is one of the countries where it is most popular.
Unfortunately for Helmut G., his neighbors were in the middle of a prayer when he started to yodel. The Kronen Zeitung reported that he was fined 800 Euros after judges ruled that he could have tried to offend his neighbors and ridicule their belief.
Helmut G. clarified that “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.”

Everything that people do insults Muslims.
If you ask me (and a growing number of others), Islam is an insult to the human race.
RR you are right on both statements, and the only way to handle them is to step on them until they apologize and then step on them until they mean the apology.
Just because you lost the last war you were in doesn’t mean you have to turn into a bunch of sissies.
When is the absolute madness going to stop?
blindguard it will stop when human nature changes, in other words never. Most people prefer to live in a fantasy world where you don’t have to fight for your nation and culture, where all people are responsible and don’t want to force you to do anything you don’t want to. Add to this the lefts attack on Europe defending itself and its culture and you get the current mess, one that is probably going to bring about a new Dark Age.
Unless we leave the Marxist EU the situation will only get worse.We will then have
the ability to take control of our own borders and take whatever action is required
to curb the advance of Islamism. Under the present EU regime pride in ones nationality is being deliberately eroded in order to achieve the Socialist goal of a
New world order.
