Again, sorry if it’s a repeat! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!! :-)

Probably just have to get used to it. Same thing happening in Detroit area, despite protests.

Wouldn’t it be way less intrusive for all observant Muslims to carry a personal communication device that is set on “vibrate” when the hour of prayer is at hand? Those of us who are NOT Muslim, and never intend to be, would find this a much better public-relations tactic than blasting out an overwhelming cacaphony at fixed intervals.

There is something militaristic and totalitarian about these “calls to prayer” being broadcast in the public square.

[Safetgiver]

But a spokesman for the Central Mosque said that Muslim’s also have the right to summon worshippers.... So? Call Western Union. And then throw out all the Moe- Ham- Heads.

[Gondring]

I’m looking forward to the disturbing the peace charges.

If you’re in Turkey you expect it although at first it does interrupt the train of thought, which is the intent of course. In the West no one has the right to interrupt anybody’s train of thought.

[PeterFinn]

The Invasion is on.

[Mogollon]

According to the raghead religion, any area that is within hearing range of the call to prayer, is muslim land.

[SGCOS]

This needs to stop...If muslums are so f'in stupid as to not know what time it is, then why does an entitre neighborhood need to suffer?

Some well timed marine horns would be top notch.

Stage 1:
Start immigrating - move into a country quietly
Stage 2:
Begin starting churches: “learning centers” community helps: food etc.
Stage 3:
Political activism: demanding rights, denounce derogatory comments/press etc.
Stage 4:
Get elected, pass laws favoring rights etc. move toward political majority
Stage 5:
Political control, Sharia Law

The Death Cult’s call to prayer (with translation):

The case can be made that bells are traditionally used for secular purposes as well as religious, and that call to prayer has no purpose other than religious.

I hate listening to call to prayer and would raise a freaking ruckus.

“Muslim ghetto” - do you have any idea how hard it is to clean frito pie off a screen?!?

I don’t suppose any Muslim would mind if they broadcast the Lord’s Prayer before and a Hail Mary after the cacaphony?

[LibWhacker]

"I have lived in the Middle East and a prayer call has a very different feel to church bells and I personally found the noise extremely unpleasant, rather disturbing and very alien to the western mindset."

You can say that again. Always sounded like H. Ross Perot singing in tongues to me.

[robomatik]

[Jabba the Nutt]

I don’t see that everyone has the right to broadcast noise into the area at will, or?

[Popman]

I personally found the noise extremely unpleasant, rather disturbing and very alien to the western mindset."

Spot on, these Muslins want to get your "western mindset" right. Capitulate and kowtow.

In another generation you will be the "alien"

[Tenniel2]

They can have their blasted whoodling when the Christian churches in Saudi Arabia start tolling matins and vespers and.... Oh, right. Never mind...

[MrsEmmaPeel]

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.

[Philo-Junius]

So the minarets will arise over Oxford despite Charles Martel. So much for the sneers of Gibbon, then.
