Austria: Judge Rules That Yodeling Offends Muslims -

Check out this website I found at israelnationalnews.com

Now this is getting ridiculous! Now we can't sing without offending someone. What a sick world we live in! Lets all sing some Christmas Hymns out loud!

It seems as though in Austria, the popular yodel is an insult to Muslims.

An Austrian court has recently fined a citizen for yodeling while mowing his lawn, according to a report in The Kronen Zeitung newspaper.

The citizen, 63-year-old Helmut G., was told by the court that his yodeling offended his next-door Muslim neighbors, who accused him of trying to mock and imitate the call of the Muezzin.
Helmut G. clarified that “It was not my intention to imitate or insult them. I simply started to yodel a few tunes because I was in such a good mood.”
