Amen!

[doc1019]

I guess the next step, get up a pray with them. ;-)

Funny, the Persian new year has nothing to do with Islam. Mohammed didn’t do very well in erasing all earlier aspects of the civilizations he conquered.

[PGR88]

Before long, it will be mandatory.

He said: "Why was this broadcast at such a high level of volume so as to be heard miles away? Do the Christian church bells ring out in amplified volumes on Fridays in areas where they are at prayer?

If they don't, perhaps they should!

[353FMG]

“This was totally unnecessary especially on such an important day in our Christian calendar.”

Ever considered that all this was done intentionally?

[JCG]

Every day at sunrise, noon and sunset they broadcast their prayers, known as Adhan, on a loudspeaker system.

Obama's a fan...

 

Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

Harry them out of the land!

Loud speakers with pigs squealing and grunting at 5:00 am pointed back, seems appropriate medicine in this case.

If it is so much like travelling that was so much better than England, why did this resident come home?

[Conservative4Ever]

Just set a damn alarm clock....problem solved.

I guess for the same reasons all the Leftist American "I'm Leaving The Country If A Republican Is Elected President" folks return. Money, healthcare, opportunity and freedom.

[chadwimc]

Don’t the Brits have any rednecks? I’d set up speakers to blast Foghat or Led Zepplin right back at ‘em. Piss on islam...

[Natural Law]

I've had this wailing outside my hotel room in Malaysia at 5:00 AM and it is really annoying. But hey, you can't bang your head on the floor five times a day and not expect a little brain damage.

[HereInTheHeartland]

A large outdoor celebration of the art of breakfast and of bacon and sausage consumption seems in order.
Light the large outdoor grills at 4:30 am, billowing clouds of fragrant pork smoke by 5:00 am seems in order

In the future they are used before meals.

RPG!

RPG fix everything!

[Salamander]

Yeah, but they're kinda useless until the sun comes up:

[TXnMA]

I’ve heard ‘-) that straight pins inserted through speaker cables (shorting the two conductors together) does wonders for amplifier output transistors...

Another resident said: "I loved it, I was hanging out of the window trying to hear. It's a unique sound that reminds me of travelling and I'd much rather hear it than church bells."

England is finished.

I fear you may be correct, buccaneer81...
