SICKENING: AUSTRIAN CHAPEL IN LINZ WILL BLAST ISLAMIC CALL TO PRAYER THROUGHOUT DECEMBER IN ORDER TO RUIN CHRISTMAS FOR EVERYONE
SICKENING: AUSTRIAN CHAPEL IN LINZ WILL BLAST ISLAMIC CALL TO PRAYER THROUGHOUT DECEMBER IN ORDER TO RUIN CHRISTMAS FOR EVERYONE
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
A chapel in Linz, Austria, is set to broadcast the offensively loud and
amplified Muslim Call to Prayer each day, starting at 5:00 AM (see video
below), throughout the Christmas period as part of an “art
installation” aimed at emphasizing the false and absurd notion that
“Islam is a religion of peace.” (The sound of this is enough to incite people to violence)
Breitbart At certain times each day between December 2nd and 23rd, people strolling through the centre of Linz will be treated to
“a special kind of audiovisual experience,” when recordings of muezzin
calls, which were taped in Algeria, Mozambique, Istanbul, and Singapore,
are played from the chapel of the Upper Austrian Cultural Quarter’s
Ursuline Church.
The organisers behind ‘ADHINA’ say the
installation “succeeds in linking the aesthetics of different realms of
reality,” when visitors hear “the muezzin call as an Islamic ritual”
melding together with “the everyday sounds of a secular-urban world,”,
as they walk past the “Christian sacral architecture” at the site, where
the baroque buildings were founded as a monastery.

By staging this eardrum-shattering
“acoustic intervention” during Advent, when Austrians are preparing for
Christmas, the ‘sound artists’ behind the project, Werner Puntigam and
Klaus Hollinetz, “want to create awareness that Islam and Christianity
are religions of peace or want to be,” according to promotional material for the project.
The organizers
The organizers claim the project “succeeds in linking the aesthetics of
different realms of reality,” when visitors hear “the muezzin call as
an Islamic ritual” together with “the everyday sounds of a secular-urban
world,”, as they walk past the “Christian sacral architecture.” A
muezzin from the mosque calls out five times a day, starting at 5:00
AM, traditionally from the minaret, summoning Muslims for mandatory
worship, a concept that is alien to secular Europeans.
With 8% of the population declaring
themselves to be Muslim in 2016, Islam is the second most widely
professed faith in Austria, where tensions between the religious
community and the formerly secular value of freedom of speech were highlighted in a case at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) last month.
Earlier this year, the
conservative-populist coalition announced it would be launching a
crackdown on political Islam in the country, shutting down a number of
extremist-linked, radical mosques and expelling up to 60 Islamist imams
and their families. The country is also one of a number of nations across Europe who have banned the burqa and other facial veils associated with the Islamic faith.
The parliament in Vienna has passed a motion that outlaws (wearing) face-covering veils, known as niqab and burqa,
and the distribution of Qurans in public. These measures are part of an
Integration Act that aims to make asylum seekers suitable for residing
in Austria, and also tackle Islamic fundamentalism.
This is what the Islamic Call to Prayer sounds like in Hamburg, Germany, beginning at 5:00 AM everyday:
