Germany’s largest mosque to broadcast call to prayer on Fridays

Reuters-

“Permitting the muezzin call is for me a sign of respect,” Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker wrote on Twitter

“It shows that diversity is appreciated and lived in Cologne.”

During controversy surrounding the construction of the large mosque, backers made a point of assuring the public that it would not routinely broadcast the call to prayer, or azan, which is heard five times a day in Muslim countries.

The city said mosques seeking to broadcast the call on Friday afternoons would have to comply with limits on the volume of their loudspeakers, and notify neighbours in advance.

  1. Incidentally Oct 11th is the “International Day of The Girl”

    I wonder how the German Girls & Afghanistan Girls are felling these days now that going out in public unescorted is risky?

  2. The mayor is an idiot thinking that “permitting the call to prayer is a sign of respect”. Nein, Frau Reket. It makes you a dhimmi selling out your city to savage invaders who loathe your culture and is a sign of your weakness. Auf weidersehn.

  3. Lived in cologne (Koln) for several months in late 2001-02. Beautiful city except I wonder if the homosexuals still gather down by the candy factory? Used to be a lot of fudge packing there…
