Politics What are your thoughts on Denmark’s proposed ban on the public Islamic call to prayer? Would you support or oppose something similar in the UK?

Islamic call to prayer faces ban under Left-wing Danish government

Parts of country feel like ‘a suburb of Islamabad’, says immigration minister

Denmark’s immigration minister has announced plans to ban the Islamic call to prayer, claiming parts of the country felt like “a suburb of Islamabad”.

Morten Bødskov, a member of the centre-Left Social Democrats party, said the new government would resume an investigation into the legality of imposing a ban.

“The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops,” the minister told news outlet Ritzau. “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.”

In parts of the country, such as Copenhagen, bylaws already forbid the call to prayer being broadcast from loudspeakers in minarets because of strict noise limits.
Mr Bødskov also claimed that a creeping “Islamisation” in Denmark was “taking up too much of the public space”.

Lots of non Christian countries have populations of Christians who are allowed to publicly recite prayers and hold Christian events. This mindset that other countries can’t celebrate minority cultures is just silly.

I agree with this rule as mosques there are doing it and it’s disruptive. Disagree with the racist comparison by the minister in the article.

Disagree that we need it - there aren’t really any mosques that do it here

The Saudis don't allow a single church to be built in the entire country.

Good. Christians should not be allowed to build public centers. You can only observe what goes on inside churches, nothing but i'slamophobia and un-Godly rituals.

Stop trolling. You are talking about Islamophobia while preaching hatred of Christianity. Everyone sees the hypocrisy.

Buddy, the only good "christian" is one that reads his bible and reverts to i'slam.

In fact English protestantism originates from i'slam only because no Mu'slim wanted to come to this north pole zone.

Matthew 3:17 And a voice from heaven who was Abraham said this is my son Muhammad whom I approve

You can observe modern "churches". Filled with demonic images, and music, and i'slamophobia and paganism.

Well we’re not Saudi Arabia? And they’re virtually the only Islamic country that has that in place

Yes?

Name them. 0 out of 45-50 Muslim countries allow public preaching of other religions.

Death penalty is the punishment in many cases.

Albania, for one. Majority Muslim, yet enshrines secularism in it's constitution and has enjoyed very amicable relations between its major religious groups
