Yodelling offends praying Muslims

An Austrian man has been fined 800 Euros (about £700 give or take) for yodelling while happily mowing his lawn. *sigh* Yes, this world is doomed guys - click below to read full story.
Yodelling offends praying Muslims, say judges
Now indirectly addressing Muslims of various nationalities (other than Austrian, obviously) I can't help but ask: Do you as immigrants actually take the time to associate and familiarise yourselves with the culture and traditions of the country that you're currently in? Judging by this incident, apparently not. If this family had bothered to they'd then know Yodelling is a harmless custom. It is not offensive. People yodel. Fact of life. Get over it.
I've grown weary of Muslims demanding tolerance with respects to Islam, prayer, and so on, yet are abominably intolerant to all other walks of life. The other day I was walking through Porthkerry Park when a Muslim family walking by stopped right in their tracks, and start praying not quietly, but screaming like banshees. Do I get offended? No. However I feel they should behave appropriately and responsibly. I don't care what they believe, it's their right their privilege in the private place, within public areas however you are limited and don't have the right to not be offended.
A man can sing, dance, yodel, and do whatever the fuck he wants when he's happy, so long as it's legal.
Those judges should be sacked. That Muslim migrant family should be countersued and placed an injunction upon, hopefully someone with any sense will educate them on the various Alpine traditions.
To spite the world I'm Yodelling this week and encourage others to do the same at least until this serious wrong has been righted.

Muslim prayers offends yodelling, and makes it possible for a perfectly blameless yodelling person to be mistaken for a worthless wishthinking jihad believing savage in the act of demeaning his homo sapien heritage in the general direction of mecca.

Maybe it's not only for yodelling, because he was also mocking and imitating the call of the Muezzin while the Muslims were in the middle of a prayer. That could be the main reason, eh?

Yes, and I do understand the differences between culture and Islam. So, I don't get offended when I see other people singing, dancing, jumping, or even ... yodelling!

Still seems an overly 'touchy' reaction.
Islam does seem to be the most easily offended religion after scientology.

Its a pity I can't say the same about all Muslims. Its one thing to get offended, but its a whole other can of worms being opened when one uses that as an excuse to consider bringing civil action against another person. What these Muslims did was nothing short of despicable...

Not tolerance. They want special treatment. Anyway, why show tolerance towards those who show none for others?
Respect goes both ways, but apparently it's a one way thing with these Muslim idiots.
Why don't we just form a mob and go kick the shit out of them? I'm done putting up with these stone aged morons. They haven't quite caught up to our level of advancement. Just look at what they wear, sheesh!
Just a bunch of dirty rags.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
