Denmark is examining plans to ban the Muslim call to prayer, with the Minister of Immigration stating that parts of the country are in danger of sounding like a “suburb of Islamabad.”

Morten Bondskov stated that the Danish government will examine whether the call to prayer by muezzins can be banned nationwide, citing the creeping Islamization.

“The call to prayer should not be heard above Danish homes,” the Social Democratic minister told the Danish news agency Ritzau.

“It has no place in Denmark, and you should not have to wonder if you’ve ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you’re walking around Denmark,” he added pointedly.

The Islamic call to prayer is traditionally broadcast five times a day to summon the faithful to mosques, often through loudspeakers mounted on minarets.

This is the third attempt by a Danish immigration minister to establish a legal framework to ban the practice, following similar efforts in 2020 and 2025.

It is possible, however, that these plans will never be put into practice, as the Danish constitution protects the right to public worship, although restrictions already exist on anti-democratic preaching and support for banned organizations.

In Denmark, with a population of six million, there are approximately 270,000 Muslims and about 100 mosques.
