TEL AVIV, May 15 (Reuters) - The Eurovision Song Contest has found few fans in a famous mosque in the Israeli host city, where worshippers have complained that the gaudy festivities are disrupting their observances of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. A "Eurovision Village" pavilion set up on the Tel Aviv beachfront to host parties is located directly opposite the century-old Hassan Bek mosque, named after an Ottoman governor and frequented by Israeli Arabs from nearby Jaffa.
The 41-country songfest has been a focus of pro-Palestinian boycott calls, and some Muslims fasting daily as part of Ramadan resent the carousing of scantily clad Eurovision enthusiasts.

party on!
No! TURN IT UP!

The Israeli Jews and Arabs get along tolerably well.
The major complaint is American evangelicals coming
to Israel to try to convert everybody.
Get lots of bacon frying.
Lots of it. All day.
Bubba’s doing a cull hog pit roast shouldn’t e a problem then.
At least they don’t disrupt them in the same way mooselimbs “disrupt” Christmas Markets.
But they can blast their deathlike screams to rouse the bearded ones out of bed and into mosk to do allahuakhbars at 5 am.
“You kids stay off of my sand!”
Might I suggest Death Metal ?
This is vile anti-Western and anti-Israel propaganda. The mosque was used by Muslims to fire on Jews during Israel’s 1948 war of independence. The mosque was restored to the Jaffa Muslim community in 1979, although there is no Muslim community nearby at all. Anyone who prays at that mosque, other than hotel or restaurant employees who work nearby or taxicab drivers, has to travel a good distance to get there.
This mosque is just off of one of the beautiful beaches in Tel Aviv, across the street from the David Intercontinental Hotel, one of the nicest convention hotels in the city. There is always music, and there are girls in skimpy bikinis, at that beach whenever the weather is warm.
Of course beaches near the hotels will be used for Eurovision.
The people who are complaining about this are doing so for anti-Israel propaganda purposes only.
Which one annoys me more...
Islam or Eurovision?
The Arabs should be used to this. I heard once that Haifa is where Israelis go to work, Jerusalem is where they go to pray, and Tel Aviv is where they go to play.
This "thing" won Eurovision a few years ago.
Maybe, for once, the Muzzies have a point.
The Shareef don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The Shareef don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
Oh the inanity!
Is that Freedom Rock?!!
Well turn it up man!
