The Danish government is considering introducing a nationwide ban on the Islamic call to prayer (Adhan) as part of efforts to reduce what officials describe as the growing visibility of Islam in public spaces.

Immigration Minister Morten Bodskov of the ruling Social Democrats confirmed that the government would revisit an earlier review into whether such a ban could be legally implemented under Danish law.

He stated that the call to prayer should not be publicly audible in Denmark, adding that it has no place in the country’s public environment.

The proposal marks the third attempt by Danish authorities in recent years to explore legal grounds for restricting public broadcasts of the Adhan, which is traditionally issued from mosque minarets five times a day.

While some local councils already limit loudspeaker use through noise regulations, the government is now considering a broader national restriction.

However, legal experts warn that a nationwide ban could face constitutional challenges, as Denmark’s constitution guarantees freedom of religion and public worship.

The move comes amid Denmark’s ongoing strict immigration policies under Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s coalition government, which has taken a tough stance on asylum and integration issues in recent years.
