Austrian Chapel to Broadcast Call to Prayer Throughout December to Show Islam ‘Is Religion of Peace’
Breitbart ^ | 11/27/18 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 11/27/2018 7:28:55 PM PST by marshmallow

A chapel in Linz, Austria, is set to blast out the Muslim call to prayer each day throughout the Christmas period as part of an “art installation” aimed at emphasising “that Islam is a religion of peace.”

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 “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.

When you die you rest in peace. Maybe this is what they are referring to. Especially when you die because your head is cut off or you get killed by a bomb.

Islam means submission.

The prime directive of Islam is submit or die.

They are showing their submission.

Islam is a religion of piece. Its followers cut you in pieces. They blow you to pieces. They shoot you to pieces.

Somebody should wreck their “chapel”.

That chapel in Linz, Austria, should blast out the last calls made by people in the World Trade Center, on American Airlines Flight 77, and from 20,000 other locations attacked by Islamic terrorists since then each day throughout the Christmas period. That would be an honest “art installation” aimed at demonstrating the degree to which “Islam is (or is not) a religion of peace.”

The Islamic call to prayer contradicts everything the chapel represents . . . or rather formerly represented.

Linz was Hitler’s home town. He would be very proud to know that his favorite religion was being broadcast in his home town.

The Muslim call to prayer contains: "I bear witness that there is no god except Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God."

Saying that even ONCE marks the place as Islamic space.

If Anyone else cranked up giant speakers at dawn they would be sited for disturbing the peace.

If you morons believe that Islam is the religion of peace; the fact that the first thing they do every morning is to disturb the Peace should be a clue!
