    Angry Yodelling offends praying Muslims, say judges

    And don't tell me that we are paranoid and Europe is just fine.

    An Austrian has been fined for yodelling while mowing his lawn, according to a report.

    The Kronen Zeitung newspaper claims Helmut G. was told by a court in Graz, Styria, that his yodelling offended his next-door Muslim neighbors.

    judges ruled he could have tried to offend them
    I always knew Austria had some pretty high-tech **** but I was not aware they managed to replicate the technology from Minority Report. Alright Austria!

    That's as ridiculous as it is unusual. If I were to walk through Bradford this Friday and begin yodelling, I'd get nothing more than some curious looks.

    She doesn't live in my area of Europe so her opinion of it means next to nothing to me.

    The men reportedly accused the 63-year-old of having tried to mock and imitate the call of the Muezzin.

    The daily paper writes the Austrian was fined 800 Euros after judges ruled he could have tried to offend them and ridicule their belief.

    The Muslims, whose nationalities were not revealed by the report, were right in the middle of a prayer when the Austrian started to yodel.
    Clear cut case the Australian tried it on and came unstuck, should have stuck to lawn surfing.

    Oh really, but do you want me to quote you on the whole Europe?? I am pretty sure the Chancellor of one of the most powerful European and world nations have a better knowledge than you even about the place of your residence. In fact, I am 100% sure of that.

    Balkanisation of Europe through leftist and Religious intolerance.

    Leftists hate and are intolerant of the truth and Islam is so intolerant they even kill other muslims who disagree with them. So, how long till Europe needs a peace keeping force and islam gets its own 'states' across the 'eurozone' ala Bosnia?

    You see--that is the case precisely of the total lack of understanding of the point. Nobody is talking here about that Europe is doomed--in fact, we are talking about it because we care, we love Europe, it is our culture. But while not doomed (and we better make sure that this is not going to happen), Europe IS NOT FINE. There are serious illnesses which have to be addressed, otherwise Europe will become, indeed, doomed.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
