An Islamic Prayer Tower in St. Louis

Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 8:25:42 am PST

Gateway Pundit has the pictures of a huge tower being constructed in St. Louis City*, complete with loudspeakers for blaring the adhan: Islamic Prayer Tower Rises in South St. Louis City.

(*the Bevo Mill neighborhood)

[Old Sarge]

I will forever hate that sound.

In Ramadi before The Surge, any time we heard that sound, we knew the rocket/mortar attacks were about to start. They’d come out of the mosques all fired up for jihad.

[whitedog57]

Reminds me of the siren from “The Time Machine” when the Christians, I mean above grounders, mindlessly congregate to be killed and eaten by the Muslims, I mean the below grounders.

[kinoxi]

Good for them they are not trying to be my neighbor.

[ronnie raygun]

Another terrorists handout in America!

[PROCON]

They’d come out of the mosques all fired up for jihad.

I'm getting all fired up for jihad (Battle) too!!

[yldstrk]

You should see the Mormon abomination in Independence Missouri.

[Red6]

Obviously, some people choose to “integrate” and be part of the “melting pot” called America in their own way.

I wonder what Barack Hussein Obama thinks about this?

[Martins kid]

Neighbors should sue for noise pollution and emotional distress and loss of property values.

[Bahbah]

This is my town. I do not like this.

[Titan Magroyne]

There goes the neighborhood!

[ConservaTexan]

St. Louis, The Gateway to the West Middle East.

[TheRobb7]

You know....if an F-15 were to accidentally dislodge some ordinance during a routine fly-over.......

Just sayin’.

[M Kehoe]

I think these mosques, prayer towers, halal stores, foot bathes are a good thing.

Makes target acquisition much easier.

[Eye of Unk]

I give it no more than six weeks.

[Digital Sniper]

Good thing they're not in my area. Everytime their loudspeaker clicked on, I'd likely crank up "Rock the Casbah" by the Clash.

Either that, or "King Kill 33°" by Marilyn Manson...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Wow. The Liberals in MO would be having KITTENS were there a CROSS, or even a bell tower of some sort erected of that size.

*SIGH*

Certainly makes it easier for the crowds with torches and pitchforks to find, too...

[kinoxi]

They need to go out in force and harass this scum out of town IMO.

[GAB-1955]

We can always play back “We Will Rock You” from speakers.

*light bulb goes on over head*

Are you pondering what I'm pondering...?

[Martins kid]

Pig farm next door might work too

[ChristianDefender]

They will start with this initially...

Soon the actual neighborhood surrounding that minaret will be a no-go zone for non-muzzies. Muslims live and congregate around their place of worship (that's a fact).

Can somebody shoot that freakin' thing? It will be a sniper's nest someday.

[Uriah_lost]

Oh we have one of those right off the highway west of St Louis too, but they don’t do the “call to prayer” thing 5 times a day. If this one down in Bevo Mill does that, it’ll be a s#*t storm around here. It should be anyway but this city is not run by people that give a dang anymore.

[Old Sarge]

The minarets are used as aiming stakes for rocket attacks. The Mooj in Iraq didn't need maps or training on indirect fire, they just used their own landmarks.

[Uriah_lost]

It’s already an uncomfortable area to go to unless you’re wearing plenty of gold chains and a track suit. Most of the businesses around there have the “Bosnian spoken here” signs up(in whatever Cyrillic language they use so I can’t vouch for my “translation”).

[yldstrk]

Love the pig farm idea.

[Uriah_lost]

Yes, but where are we going to get a tutu and a sheep at this hour?

[yldstrk]

That RLDS spire gives me the shivers every time I drive to the Independence Courthouse.

Sarge, you're thinking of incoming. I'm thinking of out-going.

Up wind of course.

Sharia don't like it...

[libh8er]

..Or if a couple of these were fired by mistake..

Just sayin'.

[G8 Diplomat]

Ameristan.....it's coming.

The times are getting a bit too interesting for me.

[smalltownslick]

Someone please have the courage to simply blow it up!!!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I don’t know...what are you pondering? LOL!

[ArmyTeach]

We have an urban warfare training center on our post, about half a mile down from our Education Center. I arrived at work early one summer morning to the sound of a bloodcurdling warble filling the air, instantly turning the blood in my veins to ice. I thought we’d either been invaded or I had been transported half way around the world. It was the Center testing its sound systems.

[FreeAtlanta]

You deserve it!

Just kidding. You have my sympathies. We have one of the abominations just north of Georgia Tech. It has 4 of the missile looking things surrounding it.

I know these things predate missiles, but isn't it appropriate or even a premonition about how violent this death cult is that they seem to worship missiles? Religion of peace, hah, I ain't buying it.

[yldstrk]

That would make me mad.

[G8 Diplomat]

There’s a mosque about 10 minutes away from my home....no minaret though, so at least we don’t have to put up with hearing muezzin’s calls 5 times a day. But I’d prefer there not to be a mosque at all....

Y’know, one of their prayer times is early in the morning, like 6 am or something...imagine lying there asleep and then all of a sudden you hear “Alllllaaaahhhhuuuuu akbaaaaar” four times followed by some other chant in Arabic. Geez. And I thought my CURRENT alarm clock was annoying.

[Old Sarge]

The very first night I hit the ground in Ramadi, I heard the late-night yodel.

A few date palm trees were backlit against the city lights. The writer in me thought of the stories of the explorer/adventurers, a la Indiana Jones and the Mummy. How naive I was.

That’s not a call to prayer.

It’s a call to arms.

[ArmyTeach]

Another thought. How about reinstating church bells. Protestants fervently and frequently on Sunday, and - well - don't Catholics have specific calls to prayer during the day? RING THEM BELLS! Joyfully.

[MarMema]

A MUST SEE - THE SECOND LINK, AT PAT DOLLARD'S PLACE

It made me laugh quite a bit.

[ArmyTeach]

They were just doing there job, but it was enough to let me know that we shouldn't have to live with that.

[firewalk]

why does no one seem to bothered by any of this

[ecomcon]

Exactly

[MilspecRob]

Wow Bevo Mill was a great treat to go to as a kid. Hope it’s still a nice night out.

[livius]

Catholics say the Angelus three times a day (6, 12, and 6). It’s basically three Hail Marys interspersed with shorter prayers, and only lasts a couple of minutes, during which the bells are rung. We actually still do this where I live, in St. Augustine, FL. Of course, we get away with it for historical reasons, since one of our bells dates back to 1671 and people have been praying the Angelus here since 1565.

Unfortunately, most Catholic churches don’t do it any more. But it sounds a whole lot nicer than Islamic howling, believe me! And you don’t have to brace yourself for explosions afterwards.

[Free ThinkerNY]

Dhimmi answering the Muslim call to prayer

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

No, Catholics do not have any specific calls to prayer during the day, or any other time. I’ve never heard of such a thing.

We’re not Muslims.
