The City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan approved an amendment to the city's noise ordinance to allow the Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers 5 times daily, from 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. The new ordinance takes effect May 26. Nonie Darwish writes the following:
Pretty soon they'll be wanting their own state in Dearborn.
Well they wouldn't have to be rung at the same time. The idea is to create such a caucophany that the council either lets every religion do their own thing or they ban it for every-one.(The way it's supposed to be done under the constitution)
It's absurd we're losing good men and women --- having them killed in Iraq but at the same time we're allowing the Middle East (and others) to take over parts of the USA.
Devout Moslems already know when it is time to pray and in this day and age there are certainly other ways to call people for prayers that conforms to noise regulation and respects the wish of the general public not to hear loudspeakers 5 times a day praising a God that is different from theirs and in whose name the terrorists of 9/11 committed their atrocity. How far are we Arab/Moslem Americans going to keep pushing the envelope to test America’s patience? To whose benefit these loudspeakers are being installed? Could the loudspeakers be another sign of an audacious, in-your-face conquest of America to please those who finance these mosques?Americans are the most tolerant people in the world and it seems that the more tolerant they become, the more they are taken advantage of. How far will our tolerant Judeo-Christian culture be pushed around? And how many times will Christians give the other cheek to prove they love those who despise them?
...Smart man. He knows...

May 26...don't know who will enforce. This story was also picked up by the Associated Press.
No problem at all. In fact, you are wise to do so. Hope you found it. The Associated Press had also picked up this article.
Hasn't the same been said about 9/11?
When I was growiing up in San Diego, CA, everyday the air raid warnings would go off. (WW II leftover) Use to freak me out. This is an outrage that should be ended, just like the warnings were in SD. HUMMMM just occured to me that maybe a little fear and awareness would wake a few apathetics up.
It's my honor. Go right ahead.
So, what do you propose we do?
Why doesn't the mosque give them all cell phones and TEXT MESSAGE them to prayer?
That's what I am waiting for. Note my tagline is from one of the earlier articles about this. The quote is from one of the muslims interviewed in the piece.
if the votes aren't there to elect city council members who would change the law - what are you arguing for, armed insurrection in Michigan to make it happen?
Some muslims still offer human sacrifice.
The Sacred Muslim Practice of Beheading
I was unable to find the text of the translation of the prayful speech that preceeds Nick Berg's murder.
True. The friend of my enemy is not my friend.
I wonder if any of their amplified broadcasts can be heard in a hospital "quiet zone"?
If students at a public school hear the prayer (and see 10% of the class respond to the prayer call), is this defacto "prayer in school"?
