Your death would begin with you going to Mecca. Their peaceful religion of peace does not tolerate lowly kufir in the presence of their capital. Same if you attempt to enter Medina.

They can summon worshipers. They cannot violate noise ordinances to do so.

This requires waking people up at dawn and again late at night.

They also want an exception to be able to pump out amplified announcements.

Even the Beatles final concert was ended by a noise complaint lodged by a banker on the noon hour.

And this isn’t a singular exception in the law, this is five times EVERY day.

You can bet that if the Muslims don’t get their way, they’ll demand that the church bells be silent.

"The proposal to issue a prayer call is very un-neighbourly, especially in a crowded urban space such as Oxford.

Oh, pshaw. Since when have Muslims ever exhibited even an ounce of un-neighbourliness?

I love how Christians/Jews have zero rights in Moslem countries, but we fall over ourselves to give them rights here.

The citizens of Oxford might want to think of having a pig calling contest at their next fall fair...hold it right outside of the Mosque...see how they like being multicultural.

Am I correct in stating that in the UK, there still is officially a state religion -- Anglicanism. After all, Her Majesty is "Fidei Defensor" _- Defender of the Faith. So the Government can decide that Islam is a cult and boot the buggars out.

Isn't Prince Charles on record saying that he will change that when he becomes King so that he is the "Defender of Faith" (faith in general) rather than defender of a particular faith?

Frankly, if forcing the state to allow the Muslim call to prayer will help force them to also allow we Christians to once again have traditional Christmas observances — the manger in the square, the town “Christmas” rather than the thoroughly offensive “Holiday” tree, the school Christmas pageant, Christmas carols the belfry of the the town hall — I say let’s get on with it and strike a blow for religious freedom.

A properly aimed 12 gauge shotgun would do well to modify the electrical parameter of a loudspeaker!

I’m not sure about the rest of you but one of the first times I ever heard a Muslim prayer was Zarqawi praying (or preying) over a still alive Nick Berg.

I wish the moderate Muslims of the world understood that the radicals among them have turned their prayer into a horror film soundtrack for those of us unfamiliar with it until that well publicized event. Perhaps then they would have the nerve to actually put a stop to them.

If my neighborhood is ever subjected to 5x daily torture in the form of this (AT BEST, that is one of the "good" ones), I'm going to weigh in with my own Adhan broadcasts. They will be praying 25x a day at random times.

Good Point! Christians and Jews don’t pray (or prey) over terrified bound people who believe differently from their edict...and they certainly wouldn’t broadcast it like Al Jazeera (which you can get freely in Britain, if you pay your TV licence fee, which is the cost of a new TV a year...) you have to pay the BBC (British Biased Corporation) £130 a year just to watch normal TV! I don’t even watch BBC, yet I have to pay these Libby A-holes money or they’ll put me in jail and fine me £1,000. Never mind the little snot who stole my car...he’s back out on the streets and his worthless white trash mother is encouraging him to continue with his horrible ways...the moron just turned 17! He stole and trashed my car when he was 15!

a spokesman for the Central Mosque said that Muslim's also have the right to summon worshippers.

Try that texting thing. Moslems all carry cell phones. Or is that just to detonate bombs?

Wouldn’t it be better to bring back Richard the Lionhearted and post his image, bill-board style, at the entrance to each city in America?

Considering that he was captured, enslaved and held prisoner by the Moslems for years, no.

This guy, yeah.

The Muslim call to prayer isn’t going to do anything for you. The Muslims don’t want to share air-space will Christian church bells, and believe me, once they get in there, all you will hear will be Muslim caterwauling.

For Britain’s sake I pray that Charles never becomes King.

That fool is the result of too many generations of inbreeding of European aristocracy.

Fear is the only thing that seems to work with our Muslim brethren. The Pope is trying to approach the more rational among them now, which I think is a great thing, but the problem is that reason has never been valued in Islam (as the Pope himself has noted) and being rational practically makes you fatwa material. So I think that it’s good to give them a chance, and that possibly a few will convert, but on the whole, the only thing that keeps Islam at bay is serious death and destruction.
