The story didn't mention it, but the neighborhood is going to be driven nuts by the "call to prayer" wailing out of loudspeakers five time a day.

Not true! Mosques in western countries do not use loadspeakers for the call for prayer. You can check that anywhere in the US or in Europe. However, the bigger distraction would be sudden crowd and parking problems on the big religious occassions, where you get lots of people suddenly turning up to the mosque for prayer one day without prior warning to the neighbors.

"Mosques in western countries do not use loadspeakers [SIC - loudspeakers]for the call for prayer."

Oh, BS!! Islam has practiced incrementalism where it hasn't been able to get away with intimidation and throat cutting. It will only be a matter of time before 200dB of Arabic wailing is echoing throughout the area.

It will become a reality...our Constituion protects their religion too.....and you can bet they will use this right eventually.

Maybe a worship service for fallen pigs (pigs only in attendance) will be practiced prior to the pig races.....and the pig squeals can be blared at 200db too....just a thought....just a thought....

There was a mosque in Dearborn that got the city to approve it. I don't if it's actually gone into practice.
