Celebrate diversity! Karlstadt, and the rest of Germany, is headed toward becoming so very diverse that before too long only the muezzin’s call will be heard, and there will be no Christmas market or observance of Christmas at all.
“Karlstadt in Franconia: Christmas market opens with muezzin call,” translated from “Karlstadt in Franken: Weihnachtsmarkt mit Muezzin-Ruf eröffnet,” Nius, December 1, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
In Karlstadt, a tranquil town in Franconia, the Andreasmarkt took place on November 26th, which was intended to introduce visitors to Islam this year.
Under the motto “Orient meets Occident,” the local mosque associations, including the Ditib Mosque, which is under Turkish control, took over the reins. A muezzin opened the market with loud Islamic prayer chanting over loudspeakers:
After the opening, things continued in the spirit of oriental Islamic customs: relevant Muslim prayer practices were presented on stage, for example in which postures symbolic submission should take place.
Christian Christmas songs were completely omitted at the announced “pre-Christmas flea market”; a children’s choir performed Muslim songs instead. The culinary offering was also adapted to the oriental concept: instead of mulled wine and fried almonds, this time there was fried Turkish garlic sausage and tantuni, reports the Main Post.
Ditib, the Turkish-Islamic Union of the Institute for Religion, is one of the largest Islamic organizations in Germany. It includes over 900 member associations, primarily mosque communities. As an association, Ditib reports directly to Diyanet, the Turkish state religious authority.
Ditib and the Turkish umbrella organization Diyanet have been criticized for years for being the mouthpiece of the Turkish AKP government, holding anti-Semitic sermons in the Ditib mosques or publicly praying for the Turkish invasion of the Kurdish areas. “O Allah, lead our glorious army to victory,” the prayer text says.
The local newspaper Main Post reported uncritically on the event and noted that the participation of the population was low. The lack of interest in the Islam market was attributed to the bad weather.

This reminds me of a line in Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” (paraphrasing) “All religions are equal, but one religion is more equal than the others.”

It is that or a possible suicide bomb. Call it Dhimmi insurance policy. However trust in Islamic ”chivalry” is misplaced.
Hoi Polloi says
That’s appalling. Any German Christians there should boycott.

It is BOWING TO THE BEAST , nothing else ; it happens nearly everywhere these days . Shameful !

I am sure Pope Francis approves of this. I think Mark Steyn once said that multiculturalism is a transitional stage between no Islam and all Islam. This seems to be such a transitional stage between all Christian and no Christian and all Islam.

The more you give in to a bully the more they take and want from you. I am glad that it was reported “local interest ” in the “Pre-Christmas” anti-Christian market was low. Maybe a boycott of all Moslem businesses in the area a round up of pimps, drug dealers and other associated criminals checking their “immigration “status as being legal or not and deporting the trash that would be a start. Of course the EU masters of the universe would not stand for people defending their own personal safety, cultural and tradition in western Europe. The MSM in Germany would condemn the local police for any kind of crack down on the poor “Moslems” . Call the local people racist Nazis , intolerant, for not letting Jihadist grind them down under the heel of Islam to demmi status.

Very well said WPM , thank you !

You are 100% correct, well said.

Not surprised that attendance, interest, was low. Probably the only attendees were mozlum.
and what if the terrorists….the ones with the bombs….showed up, after the opening yowling, and drove a gasoline-laden truck through the *crowds*?
Might eliminate some other mozlum terrorists…the ones pretending to have a Christmas market.
they can’t have any joy, so they must spoil it for everyone else. Misery lusts (mozlums love nothing) for company.

Germany surges in the international Islamopandering derby.

I wonder how they’d like it is we showed up during Ramadan and sang our Christmas carols outside their Mosques?
