Residents of the French Hill neighborhood in Jerusalem plan to combat Arab prayer-calls by blasting music from loudspeakers, in defiance of Arab religious conventions. According to Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, Israelis plan to broadcast music from loudspeakers positioned toward a mosque in the Arab village Al Issawiya, located in Jerusalem on Mount Scopus near Hadassah Hospital.
A widespread practice among Muslims, the adhan is a call for Muslims to attend voluntary prayers that are broadcast from a Mosques large towers called minarets, like the one standing over the western wall in Jerusalem. In previous centuries, the muezzin, leader of the adhan, would stand atop the minaret and project his voice, but technological advances have yielded microphones and loudspeakers, which are now utilized to project the adhan remotely at volumes of up to 100 decibels. Jerusalem residents are often bothered by the noise because adhans occur before each of the five daily Muslims prayers, the first of which begins before sunrise, and feature Arabic versions of the basic Muslim creed, to persuade Muslims to attend mandatory prayer service.
In an effort to convey their displeasure, residents of Jerusalems Givah Tsarfatit, or French Hill neighborhood, have approached an amplification company with intentions of buying four giant loudspeakers, from which rock and roll music will be played to clash with the Muslim prayer songs. The music, specifically chosen from the hard rock musical genre rather than mellower styles like classical or Mediterranean music, will be played when the Muslim broadcasts begin.
The campaign to limit the Muslim broadcast has until now taken place at Jerusalems city hall, where attempted negotiations between the village of Al-Issawiya and the French Hill have taken place. The agreements yielded a promise by Al Issawiya to lower the noise level of their adhans, but French Hill inhabitants claim that no such change has been instituted, leading to the launch of their more drastic rock and roll campaign.
If the campaign is successful, other neighborhoods have pledged to follow suit.
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
I hope they play the full-gospel, Black choir version of Ein Keloheinu as seen in the movie, “Keeping The Faith,”

DROP YOUR BOMBS BETWEEN THE MINARETS!!!
I suggest Gangsta Rap and Hip Hop. The Muzz might like good old Rock’n Roll.
Why does Israel even tolerate this sh*t? Does the minaret that insanely is permitted to stand ABOVE the Wailing Wall have a loudpseaker??? Jews praying have to tolerate that? Any speakers should be destroyed and banned. Disgusting! This is the Jewish State, dammit!
Since the libs & the muzzies seem to be on the same side, and the former hates Chick Fil-A, how about
“Pork Fil-A”!!!
Think of it, tender center cut pork tenderloin slow-cooked over open pit BBQ on a freshbaked roll served in a drive-in under the American flag.
Oh... wait a second, we’ve had that in South Carolina for fifty years now, Maurice’s Piggie Park Barbecue. Liberals hate it, Americans love it.
They used Jethro Tull’s “Too Old To Rock And Roll, Too Young to Die” to drive that South American guy out of his bunker.
[drawing a blank on his name, right now]...LOL
I love Tull but ~that~ song played 24/7 would drive me totally insane.
My next-best suggestion would be full-tilt disco.
“Killing an Arab” Cure
Just have everyone play There Can Be Miracles in Hebrew at the same time. I sometimes sing it out loud myself to counter the Muazzin’s blare. It is a perfect response.
Noriego I think.
That’s him.
Thanks.
:)
Rather than this back and forth, I would think a more effective solution would be to say "We are mounting a decibel meter on the edge of the Jewish village. If the noise from the Muslim call to prayer exceeds X decibels as measured from that meter, then power to your village gets cut off for a half hour."
Wagner is probably a poor choice for Jews.
Me, how about Dick Dale (king of surfer guitar -— you’ll know him when you hear himm Quetin Taratino uses his music in his movies) solo of Hava Nagila?
I was thinking more along the lines of a simple electrical circuit. When the dB meter exceeds X, a small relay closes launching a laser guided missile.
Another option would be speakers mounted on the perimeter directed into the PA zone broadcasting the “brown note” at 150 dB.
