Sweden: Bishop supports Muslim demand to broadcast the call to prayer

Feb 13, 2018 10:40 am By Robert Spencer

Bishop Fredrik Modéus writes on Facebook that it is “natural” that “different traditions and religions are heard” and that he “hopes to hear both church bells and prayer calls in our city.”

And maybe he will, for awhile. But once the Muslims of whom he is so solicitous are in charge, he won’t be hearing the church bells anymore. In Islamic law: dhimmis are “forbidden to openly display wine or pork…to ring church bells or display crosses…recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5(6)).

“The bishop of Växjö welcomes Muslim prayer call,” translated from “Biskopen i Växjö stift välkomnar muslimska böneutrop,” Samhällsnytt, February 13, 2018 (thanks to Denny):

The Växjö Muslim Foundation has submitted an application for the call to prayer. The motive should be that Muslims should “feel at home” and “be proud of their culture.” Now the bishop of the area has declared his support for the claim.

It is in the immigrant district of Araby in Växjö that the prayer call will be made, if the Muslim foundation gets its way, as Samhällsnytt has previously written.

Now the bishop of the area has declared his support for the demands of the Muslim organization. On Facebook, he writes about the proposal, saying that it is “natural” that “different traditions and religions are heard” and that he “hopes to hear both church bells and prayer calls in our city.”

    The end of Sweden and Swedish Judeo-Chrisitan Civilization is here. Sad.

      What religion / faith is this Bishop supporting?

      What a stupid set of dhimmis in dumb hats!

          The Swedes burned their last Catholic at the stake in 1850. Muslims are another matter.

          The Lutherans seem to be doing more of Satan’s than God’s work lately: Angela Merkel, the hostess to the Muzzy invasion of Western Europe is the daughter of a Lutheran cleric & the Lutherans in the USA are some of the biggest importers of Muslim “refugees” & the resulting chaos in small town America that naturally ensues. There are evil people behind what is being done to western civilization (Soros, the UN, et al.) & their helpers are the masses of religious hypocrites, random do-gooder organizations & lefty liberals with low-wattage brains.

        • CRUSADER says

          Feb 14, 2018 at 3:38 pm

          Wrong answer.

          Luther helped fight against the Muslim incursion.

          This bishop is supportive of Islam!

      • bouboulina says

        Feb 14, 2018 at 6:05 am

        Grinning idiots, and “stupid hats” indeed–I wonder how that female vicar would feel about the country’s refuse-gee invasion after being on the receiving end of a Muzzy gang rape such as so many women & girls have suffered in her country. What astoundingly deluded people there are among the Swedish population.

    • Westman says

      Feb 13, 2018 at 6:09 pm

      This is the official Church Of Sweden(Lutheran), the state church, 61% of the population, that loses more than 1% of its membership each year and has a 2% attendance rate. It practically doesn’t exist and struggles on with state money.

      This Bishop likely thinks he’ll someday fill the pews with former Mohammedians. Obviously his understanding of Islam is so thin it would float away on air currents.

      The only interest in his church will be to estimate the booty value and determine what “idols” need destruction.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 13, 2018 at 7:21 pm

        I doubt he is trying to convert Muslims. That would be “Islamophobic”.

      • CRUSADER says

        Feb 14, 2018 at 3:45 pm

        Toeing the same line as The Pope’s approach to Muslims….

        ….outreach from a globalist perspective….and titling it as spiritually humanitarian.

      Not only Sweden, Andy, but it looks like the whole of Europe is going to fall…without an armed invasion..They are armed with better weapons…The Teachings of a madman and his followers. So Sad.

  2. CogitoErgoSum says

    Feb 13, 2018 at 11:03 am

    Does the bishop understand that the call to prayer is FIVE times a day? Also, it is very likely that loudspeakers will be used ,,,,, turned to MAXIMUM volume. He should advise his congregation to stock up on a supply of earplugs because the Muslims will be using sound as a weapon of Jihad against the infidels.

  3. Eur says

    Feb 13, 2018 at 11:06 am

    Five times a day… everyday…. have you ever been in a Muslim country? The call to prayer the first day you are in Marocco, Egypt… sounds very mystic…. the second day you are bored of that cry, the third day you want to shoot and blow the top of your brains out. It’s awful…they convert the city into a mosque five times a day… every fucking day of the year. They are crazy.

          They’re all helping the enemy, Billy. Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican churches alike. The UN gave them wads of cash, ostensibly for their assistance in re-settling ‘refugees’, but the main purpose of the payments was to stifle criticism.

    Is he just giving in to what is the inevitable future of Sweden? A formerly Christian nation that has abandoned all but a few outward signs of Christianity, but has warmly embraced atheistic materialism.

    He is apparently welcoming with open arms the forthcoming subjugation.
    Han är galen.

  7. Older Canadian says

    Feb 13, 2018 at 11:55 am

    What I don’t understand if the desire is to live like it was in the 7th century, why not make the call to prayer done in the same way. No loud speakers no electricity. After all it was a non-muslim the worst of people who invented both.

    Then who would give a damn, both religions would be equal. Isn’t that what multicuturalism is all about?

    I am really beginning to be very sick and tired of all this politically correct nonesense.

    My father told me when I was around nine years old.. “when everybody has their rights, no one will have any”.

      Older Canadian, Muslims never reject “Bi’da”–“innovaton”–if it furthers the cause of Islam. therefore, they will murder people selling falafels, but loudspeakers and Kalashnikovs are fine.

      • CRUSADER says

        Feb 13, 2018 at 7:39 pm

        It’s fine if a Muslim says it is fine.

        That’s what makes them the best of people.

    “Bishop Fredrik Modéus writes on Facebook that it is “natural” that “different traditions and religions are heard” and that he “hopes to hear both church bells and prayer calls in our city.””

    But soon the bells would fade out and only the call to prayer will remain, as time passes. Swedish will be replace with an Islamic language and in that language only a dirge for Sweden will be written. Then it will become a case study for a civilization that was brought down by its unbearable emptiness of existence that it choose the path of suicidal PC!!!

    Sad sad!!!

    • CRUSADER says

      Feb 13, 2018 at 1:51 pm

      Swedes like many Scandinavians have gone ” berserk ” !

      Berserkness has its origin up in the North, after all:

      ….frenzied, raving, wild, out of control, amok, on the rampage, frantic, crazy, raging, insane, out of one’s mind, hysterical, mad, crazed, maniacal, manic;

      early 19th century (originally as a noun denoting a wild Norse warrior who fought with frenzy): from Old Norse berserkr (noun), probably from birn-, bjǫrn (see bear2) + serkr ‘coat,’ but also possibly from berr ‘bare’ (i.e., without armor).

      ====================

      So, you see, they are without armor. And they think they are social justice warriors who don’t need protection. But they are CRAZY!!!!

    Feb 13, 2018 at 2:25 pm

    *facepalm*

    The Swedish clergy are more corrupt than Black Adder the bishop. They should just ask directly for jihadi battle chants and nazheeds being played constantly all over Sweden. ‘Just come and pound us – we are worthless’, that seems to be the feeling.

      The women on the photo – the person to the left – is the archbishop of Sweden and her subordinate to the right is a male bishop. Does that answer your question? –

      Anyhow; Sweden is a country where women commandeer men and Islam is the necessary and divinely ordained corrective to this unnatural state of affairs.

  14. mortimer says

    Feb 13, 2018 at 3:44 pm

    Bishop Fredrik Modéus knows nothing about the meaning of the Islamic call to prayer nor has he read the primary Islamic source texts nor does know the names of those texts nor has he read Sharia law which forbids church bells nor has he studied Islamic history and its persecutions of other religions nor does he understand that the words of Koran 9.29 specifically command Muslims to persecute Christians with that little word ‘humbled’ as in ‘fight the people of the Book (Bible)…until they feel themselves humbled’.

    THAT IS A CLEAR CALL FOR PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS, Bishop Modéus. Why do you NOT know that?

    Today, Muslims can get APPS on their cellphones that tell them when to pray and from where.

    Ah yes!this is truly age of the X-tian dhimmiwits,The Judas Priests..But do these Christ-betraying,Gospel-rejecting whited sepulchres know that allah’s amoral/immoral commandment-violating “holy” koran..

    CURSES Christians just because they believe in Jesus?

    Of course not.

    Koran 9:30 allah curses the Christians

    Perhaps if they bothered to read their own gospel they would realize that they are the ones referred to in Matthew 7 v 21-23,Matthew 23 v 27-28,Matthew 25 v 11-12 but they’ll never see that…

    {Matthew 7 v 21-23 is the Gospel’s Authenticity test:many of these false pastors,lazy clergy,judas priests and the heretical francis will most likely fail it:What the clergy never get is that their failure to preach the Gospel will be held against them.Wearing a collar or a cross, having a doctorate in divinity or being in priestly office does not guarantee salvation:especially for the Clergy and particular for the likes of a bishop}

    Perhaps if the idiotic Swedes knew the koran’s teachings.. that muslims must not be friends with Jews and Christians(which is why islamic immigration is foolish and why muslims won’t reciprocate)they would realize the reality of the situation.

    The swedes CHOSE this path:the destruction of their own culture!

    “Oh ye who believe!Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
    koran 5 v 51

    In this,the age of the Judas priests,Christians have a compass and a reference away from these false shepherds,these Christless clergy: in the Gospel itself with the prophetic teachings of Jesus and the Apostles

  28. Politicianophobia says

    Feb 14, 2018 at 10:34 am

    Imagine living in Hamtramck, Michigan, where there are 17 mosques, a city that covers about 2.1 square miles with a population around 22,000 people, and all the mosques broadcast the call to prayer. A lot of religious leaders seem to be turning their back on God.

  29. MFritz says

    Feb 14, 2018 at 12:30 pm

    Remember when most of Europe was afraid of Sweden? When they were defending the Lutheran belief against the Catholic steam roller of the Habsburg Empire? That was 400 years ago. It changed Europe, it changed the world.

    But all of this fierceness and strength has been bred out of them. Now they stand in front of the next steam roller. Showing their good will. Smiling.
