All 35 mosques in the German city of Cologne have been granted permission by the local government to publicly broadcast the Muslim call to prayer every Friday between noon and 3 p.m.
The green light to publicly broadcast the call to prayer was given by leftist Cologne mayor Henriette Reker, who took to Twitter to celebrate the move saying: ” Cologne is the city of (religious) freedom and diversity.”
“Those who arrive at the main station are greeted by the cathedral and accompanied by church bells. Many Cologne residents are Muslims. To allow the call to prayer is a sign of respect for me,” she wrote.
According to a report from the German tabloid Bild, the call to prayer will be allowed every Friday for the next two years but not everyone is as happy with the decision as the city’s mayor.
Integration expert Ahmad Mansour told the newspaper that the issue does not boil down to religious freedom or diversity, but explained that “The operators of the mosques want visibility. They celebrate the [call to prayer] as a show of force over their neighbourhoods.”
Bavarian Christian Social Union Deputy Secretary-General Florian Hahn also spoke out about the new policy, saying: “In Bavaria, we certainly do not want such pilot projects. They are not part of our Western tradition. Calls to prayer are also not needed for Islamic religious practice.”
Cologne is known as a centre for Muslims in Germany, with a so-called mega-mosque in the city being opened by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in September 2018

Why don’t they vote on it?
Signaling their submission.
Islam means submission.
As long as the “noise” restrictions on church bells, loud speakers, etc apply equally to business, churches, mosques, and synagogs, I have no problem with them having their call to prayer.
Glad I don’t live in that neighborhood with all its noise pollution.
Wanted: 537 leaf blowers.

B. Hussein Obama: “Until I can hear that beautiful sound 7 times a day from my open window in DC, I’m not satisfied.”
Throw a party at 1/10th the volume and you’ll be arrested.
Unnecessary.
Islam is a war plan.
“Cologne is now the city of Suppression of Lutherans Jews, and Roman Catholics at the expense of all others”
So how many Catholic churches in Cologne (the richest diocese in the world) play Angelus bells?
Does anyone know how many mosques we now have in the US?? I understand they like to purchase Christian churches (of which there are many) which have closed and turn them into mosques.
The Cathedral and all Christian Churches should make a point of tolling their bells at the same time.
Spoken wisely my friend
Pieces be unto them.
Hey Germany. If the Muslim Imams start telling their congregations to start calling for a nationwide Caliphate under Sharia Law do you think that will be a problem?
So, beginning before sunrise, ALL in Cologne will be forced to wake up. You won’t have to be muzz to be scared awake by a horrible, death-inducing wail, as if a herd of snakes were attacking a hyena.
In muzz countries, wearing a cross around your neck will get that neck sliced through, and your head rolling down the street.
So, the screams of someone trying to pass a kidney stone will be broadcast five times a day?
I have a great idea.
If they get speakers, Christians should use them also.
Blare out that Jesus Christ it the only route to salvation,
and watch how the Islamic get all tweaked about pubic use of
speakers that can be heard for blocks.
