This isn’t really needed in order to inform Muslims that it is time for prayer. They have watches and phones that note the time like everyone else. This is an assertion of presence, and of superiority (“Allahu akbar” in the call to prayer means “Allah is greater,” that is, greater than your god), and this new celebration of diversity in Krefeld is just the beginning.
“New contract: Islamic call to prayer once a week in Krefeld,” translated from “Neuer Vertrag: Einmal wöchentlich islamischer Gebetsruf in Krefeld,” Freilich, May 9, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
Krefeld. – The city of Krefeld has decided that in future the Muslim communities will be allowed to announce the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers once a week. This is reported by WDR. Salih Tufan Ünal, Chairman of the Union of Turkish and Islamic Communities (ATIB), commented on this new agreement and emphasized its importance. As a native of Krefeld with family roots in Turkey, Ünal has a personal connection to the city and its Muslim community. According to Ünal, the imam of the Yunus Emre Mosque in Krefeld-Stahldorf will in future call for prayer once a week, every Friday, via the permanently installed loudspeakers. Before signing the contract, the city of Krefeld coordinated with various interest groups, including representatives from politics, religion and the neighborhood.
The contract stipulates that noise limits must be adhered to during the call to prayer and that a permanent contact person for the neighborhood will be named. Salih Tufan Ünal explains that the call to prayer will now be heard once a week, on Fridays between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m., for a maximum of five minutes. Technically, transmission of the call to prayer is currently only possible in two of the six mosques in Krefeld. However, this decision is not without controversy. Prof. Dr. Mouhanad Khorchide, head of the Center for Islamic Theology at the University of Münster, expressed doubts about the priority of this step and warned of possible fears and reservations.

This reminds me of the story of the Bedouin and his camel.

I feel for the non-mozlums who live there and had nothing to do with the invasion or the decision to allow mozlums to assert themselves over others.
OT:”Slovakia’s prime minister shot and gravely injured in ‘attempted assassination”
“The populist prime minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, was in life-threatening condition Wednesday after being shot in an “attempted assassination,” his office said.
Fico’s Facebook page said in an update: “He was shot multiple times and is in a life-threatening state.”
It said that he was being taken to a hospital in the city of Banská Bystrica rather than in the capital, Bratislava, because “it would take too long considering the urgency of the matter.”

somehistory,
I’m also worried about an assassination attempt on Pres. Trump. I’m sure that some of the most demonic Democrats are actually considering this as a last resort.
Very, very difficult to carry out, but not impossible.
All done, of course, with “plausible deniability”. I have worried about this for some time…
somehistory says
James, you are most likely right that some have been planning it. Doesn’t the cia do a lot of that when someone gets in the ‘way’?
And biden has tried to keep him from having Secret Service protection if their trial scheme works and he’s convicted. His attorneys would appeal any such conviction, but without the protection…..
It’s something to think….and worry…about.

I pray for President Trump’s safety.

I’ve heard through a couple degrees of separation that there were several attempts that we never heard about, because they were halted before anything happened. But yes, I’m quite sure if they manage to separate him from his security (he has his own, plus the Secret Service, and is reportedly very well liked by same) such as in a jail cell, his lifespan may be measured in days, or minutes, can’t control the other inmates, doncha know. And that is what they’re angling for with all the court nonsense.

The loudspeaker call to prayer is a first in Europe as far as I am aware, very sad development, thin edge of the wedge. Needs someone with a rifle to shoot the loudspeaker dead. Must NOT be allowed to spread.
Reziac says
Had exact same thought. I am sure there are Germans who still own rifles… and have spines and balls….
OLD GUY says
Probably just a foot in the door for daily islamic call to prayers. Give a inch they will take a mile.

I remember at work one night one of my Muslim workers slipped in a tape of their “music” over the loud speaker. After about a minute of shrillness I removed the noise and it never happened again. They really do think they own the place (wherever one or more of them are gathered).
End PC says
This isn’t the 7th century, Muslims have watches, clocks & cell phones, no need for loudspeaker calls for prayers. Allowing it is a cowardly acquiescence to a dramatic expression of Islamic triumphalism. Shame on that German city.
Reziac says
Try playing church bells at the same hours, volume, and duration, and see how quick you get shut down.
Actually, every church in Germany needs to do that… to drown out the Islamic wailing.
abu taleb says
Now it is once in a week, later it will be once every day, then it will be five times every day. Finally, it will be at any time the muslims want to show their superiority. And the sound will get louder and louder.
Once, they used the loudspeaker from 2 am to around 6 am, it was so loud so that I could hear clearly the noise from the 50 Hz line frequency from my house which was almost 1 km from the source, there were building and trees in between.
Ruhe in Frieden, Germany
Dr K says
Simple solution:
Put up new Loudspeakers and play Bagpipe marches at the same time.
*** Very Loud Bagpipes***
We’re coming for you you fuckn muslim trash.
Sharia Is Shit-Don’t Put Up With It !

Rampant Islamopandering
Scotsman48 says
Play Led Zeppelin Rock N Roll every Friday, then the following Weeks another Rock N Roll LOUD song or Beethoven 5th Symphony loudly.
It will be once a week and then once every day and soon five times a day and the Church Bells will be silent on a Sunday morning as it will be deemed offensive to a certain group of morons.
This is creeping sharia.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“City of Krefeld allows Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers once a week”
Anyone here betting that the call to prayer will REMAIN at just “once a week”?
