Yodeling Offends Praying Muslims
So say Austrian judges, reports the Austrian Times:

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 neighbours.

The Muslim neighbors, the story says, accused the guy of trying to mock them and the Muslim call to prayer with the yodeling. The man said he was just yodeling a few tunes because he was in a good mood. He was fined 800 euros after the judges said he could have been trying to mock them. (Hellooo, madness!)

Gregg points out that, in Mars Attacks!, yodeling is what makes the aliens' heads explode. Hmm, sort of a reverse jihad!

A commenter calling herself Anna Nym left a remark on the site with, she says, more news from Austria (like about how the neighbors played a recording of their Friday "prayers" -- I believe she means the Muslim call to prayers):

Quite a short article here, so let'ss add some facts from the homebase:

1.) the infidel Friday: This, which was originally a "over the fence-quarrell" lastet from 2009 to summer 2010 YES, the muslim neighbours did have a recording of their Friday Prayers on high volume to listen to it in the garden every FRI/12.pm and yes Herr Helmuth G. did yodel, sing lawn-mowing and making noise in other "creative ways" every FRI/12.pm. Significant thing here is, the muslim neighbours STOPPED their noise after some weeks. Mister G. did not! And so, after a time and a Mister G. who did not want to talk or stop, the muslim neighbours did something very austrian/western: they called Police.

2.) the more infidel reporting of Mister G.: As every learned Austrian know, if a austrian policeman has to aussekoffern wegn so an Schaas bec. of a neighbour quarrell at holy midday time (midday time is kinda holy in Austria, i don't know for muslim world though) he will get pissed...very pissed with the originator of (his) midday peace interuption- so after dunning Mister G. FIVE TIMES to keep it down at midday, the police reported Mister G. to the districts attourney bureau bec. of defying a officers orders - so not the muslims reported him, the police did (The neighbours said, they wanted a amicabe solution)! Anyway Mister G.s case was dismissed and got into a so-called Diversion
