Prominent Muslims in Sweden are now demanding that the Islamic call to prayer be broadcast throughout the country after it was allowed in the city of Växjö.

On Tuesday, Swedish police granted a mosque in the southern city of Vaxjo permission to broadcast the call to prayer, which commonly includes the refrain “Allahu Akbar,” over loudspeakers once a week.

Some politicians criticized the decision, with Anna Tenje of the conservative Moderates asserting it risked “pulling the city further apart.”

Leader of the Christian Democrats Ebba Busch Thor, who campaigned against the decision, said “people shouldn’t have to hear it in their homes.”

However, with three mosques in the country now being allowed to broadcast the call to prayer, Avdi Islami, spokesman of Växjö’s Muslim Foundation, said the call should be heard nationwide.

“We want to call out at more places. There are many Muslims who are Swedish citizens, who have the same rights as everyone else,” he said.

As Douglas Murray documents in his book The Strange Death of Europe, native Swedes will be an ethnic minority in their own country within the lifetimes of most people alive today if current immigration rates continue.

A 2017 Pew Research report put the number of Muslims living in Sweden at approximately 810,000, or 8.1 per cent of the population.

In cities like Malmo, which has suffered a surge in violent crime and gang-related disorder, non-natives already make up half of the population.

As we reported in February, Sweden appointed a Pakistani Muslim migrant as the head of its national heritage board, with the individual admitting that he hasn’t “read anything about cultural heritage.”

44-year-old Qaisar Mahmood told a radio show that Sweden’s cultural traditions “hide hideous motives,” while expressing his intent to oppose Swedes who “want to protect the culture” and are resistant to change.

Swedes who criticize Islam on social media are being prosecuted for hate speech.

A 55-year-old Swedish man was recently put on trial and fined $1,265 for committing a “crime of opinion,” after he posted on Facebook that Muslims, “account for a lot of gang crime in Sweden and other violent stuff like rapes,” despite this being statistically true.

Sweden: After getting permission in one city, Muslims now plan to broadcast call to prayer all over the country

While a clear majority of Swedes are against broadcasting the Call to Prayer, Muslims now seem to want them all over the country, Fria Tider reports. Avdi Islami, spokesman of Växjö’s Muslim Foundation, explains that he wants more mosques to do the same as in Växjö and apply for permission for prayer calls, so that the Muslim message can be heard across the country.

The Bishop of Växjö, Fredrik Modéus, openly supported the Växjö Muslim Foundation’s application for the call to prayer. Police announced the acceptance of “Växjö Muslim’s application to send prayer calls via speakers at the local mosque once a week, every Friday.” In March, the Växjö mosque that applied to broadcast the call to prayer asked Allah to “destroy the Jews.”

A former imam, Tomas Samuel, who is now a Christian apologist, warned that the Muslim call to prayer “shows power and control over the country.” And applications to broadcast loud Muslim calls to prayer are not unique to Sweden.

• Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared months ago that “we are struggling so that a foreign flag will not be waved anywhere where adhan [the Islamic call to prayer] is recited.”
• Also in February, a German court banned outdoor Muslim calls to prayer because of local complaints over the content of the chant, which set Islam above Christianity.
• In January 2017 in Britain, a row broke out after an Islamic call to prayer was held inside the historic Gloucester Cathedral.
• Last year, Israel moved to mute the early morning call to prayer over loudspeakers at mosques, because residents had become enraged over loss of sleep.

Meanwhile, a woman in Austria, recovering from a stroke and neck injury, complained to staff about loud Islamic prayers in her hospital room; she was told to see a psychologist.

“After permission in Växjö, Swedish Muslims now want to send calls to prayer all over the country,” by Joshua Cullen, Voice of Europe (thanks to The Religion of Peace), May 10, 2018:

Getting permission for the call to prayer in Växjö was just the beginning for Sweden’s Muslims. While a clear majority of Swedes are against broadcasting the Call to Prayer, Muslims now seem to want them all over the country, Fria Tider reports.

Avdi Islami, spokesman of Växjö’s Muslim Foundation, explains that he wants more mosques to do the same as in Växjö and apply for permission for prayer calls, so that the Muslim message can be heard across the country.

“We want to call out at more places. There are many Muslims who are Swedish citizens, who have the same rights as everyone else,” he says.

At the same time, Islami says the intention is not to “disturb” anyone. According to him, however, Sweden must respect that people have “different messages”. He denies that Swedes fear that Islam is now spreading in the country…..
