    Talk about staying on topic… What does this have to do with climate change? Or science, for that matter?

  2. Do these Muslims stop to wonder if prayers coming over loudspeakers outside of mosques offends the entire neighborhood where it is located?

    where i lived in austria, they consider people from the next valley foreigners. now that’s xenophobia. that judge would have been run out of town.

    i don’t buy any of the ‘muslims are our enemy’ crap, but i guess this shows us austrian courts are just as screwed as ours. this guy lives in austria, and doesn’t know what frickin yodling is? does he complain about all the pop and dancehall pieces featuring yodling? anyway,…

    Tirol, isch’lei oans!

    There’s usually more to such stories than meets the eye at first glance. I tried to google the story in German and was presented with an avalanche of comments on more or less Facist web sites. Difficult to get reliable reports… But reader comments in the paper that first reported it, indicate that this was systematic harassment over a long period of time, and that the police, not the neighbours, took this to court.

    It’s your blog, Steven, but I would encourage you not to pass on stories like this one without any background research.

      I wish I could find it as well. But your explanation seems to be plausible. However, that does not change the subject. The man was doing it in his yard, it is not illegal to Yodel (Correct me if I am wrong) in Austria, so how is that harassment?

      Alas, I know the answer. WHile many countries claim the freedom of speech, most are not much more free than China – they only pay lip service to it.

      • Espen says:

        My guess from what I read is that the harassment consisted of systematically disturbing the prayers of the neighbor by not only yodeling but also operating a noisy lawnmower. I don”t think this is a question of free speech.

      • PhilJourdan says:

        That would be our difference. What I do in my yard – as long as it is during normal hours – is my business, not my neighbors.

        I cannot stand the neighbor behind me and his damn leaf blower going at 8 am on a Saturday! But it is his yard and I am not going to call the cops on him (they would probably arrest me for making a stupid call).

      • Espen says:

        That’s not our difference, that’s probably a cultural difference between your culture and Austrian culture (not moslem culture). I’ve lived in Germany, and Germans (and I think Austrians at least at much) highly value their right to peace in garden and house, so neighbors can’t just make any noise they want at any time.

        Anyway, we don’t know what really happened, so let’s stop now.

    Let’s keep it local….. Now I’ll be called a racist by Sense for posting this..

    Rep. Cleaver has proposed a $48 billion earmark
    When absurdity gives way to hilarity, you must be talking about politics.

    • Mike Davis says:

      I read that and was wondering why the proposal for earnarked funds because the country has been doing that since welfare started.

  6. Paul H says:

    If Sense wants to stay with science, I seem to recall he was asking for evidence of the MWP.

    There is plenty to get your teeth into here.

    I suggest you spend the next 4 days reading this. It’s certainly better than watching the Ozzies losing again.

    Senseless, save yourself some time and trouble. Stick a donkey on your head so you can show everyone you are simply an asses ass.

    BTW: The topic is Sharia Law, NOT Hoaxes.

    I do. Apparently it is ‘Real science’ that disproves global warming

    Don’t be an idiot. Apparently you either do not know what science is, or you are simply a sheep bleating what Napoleon told you to.

    Now, if you are not a complete sheep, state the null hypothesis, and then the correct methodology to perform proofs.
