To me the bigger example was in Michigan where they got an exemption from noise ordinances to broadcast (over loudspeaker) muslim calls to prayer throughout the day (first call to prayer at 6am and last call to prayer at 10pm).
This is beyond the churchbell thing (which is music/not words, non-amplified, and is not done before sunrise or after sunset).
Exactly, something like that has a "snow ball" affect.
Luckily for the U.S. the muslim community, excepting detroit, really isnt large comparatively to Christian communities...for us the question is Do we learn from Europes sad example and curb any efforts of islamic radicals trying to legislate Sharia or any advocacy to comply with Islam in the country?
Perhaps, a religous war is necessary...politicians shy away from that...but if a radical religion has declared war on your country, has contempt for your nations culture, and tries to force conformity through a free countries legal system...seens like plenty reason to Declare All Out War for religous reasons to me...
(I fully understand we're at war now, but I am going one step further.)
