The chant should not be heard “over Danish rooftops,” Morten Bodskov has said
Denmark is considering a nationwide ban on the Islamic call to prayer. Immigration Minister Morten Bodskov has said it has “no place” in the country. The move comes amid a Danish government crackdown on “Islamization.”
Speaking to local news outlet Ritzau on Wednesday, Bodskov, a senior figure in the governing Social Democrats party, stated that the Danish authorities are set to reopen an investigation into whether the ‘Adhan’, or call to prayer, can be legally prohibited across Denmark.
“The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops,” he told Ritzau. “It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn’t be in any doubt whether you’ve ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark.”
The Adhan is traditionally recited five times a day to summon Muslims to prayer. In some countries, it is broadcast through loudspeakers attached to mosques or minarets.
