Dublin locals complain about mosque’s call to prayer “noise pollution” [Ireland]

Locals in west Dublin have filed an appeal against plans for a large-scale mosque in the area, citing concerns the call to prayer would cause “noise pollution.”

The Fingal County Council granted planning permission for a mosque to the Shuhada Foundation of Ireland last month. The mosque, including a 95-foot-tall minaret, a community center, and a primary school is to be built on the site of Warrenstown House, in Blanchardstown.

Dr. Taufiq al-Sattar, a neurosurgeon in Dublin, pledged to build the mosque in memory of his late wife and three children who died in an arson attack in Leicester, England, in September 2013. […]

Patrick Regan, a former local resident now living in Ashbourne, County Meath, has appealed to An Bord Pleanála about the council’s decision. He said there has been “no interaction” with local residents about the project. […] “The call to pray can often start as early as 5.30 am and the last call to pray at 9 pm, causing noise pollution, with up to 150 worshipers attending at any one time during normal day prayers without the celebration of Ramadan and other social events.” …

Ireland,the land of my ancestors (*all* of them),is now just another European cesspool thanks to the German jackboot that is the EU.

‘whose wife and three children died in an arson attack in 2013’? Never heard of this. It’s the kind of thing that would be all over the media for months. It says it happened in England. So somebody burnt up his wife and three children in England? Strange.

...” there has been “no interaction” with local residents about the project”....(to build the Mosque)

Not surprising at all......if you aren’t at the meetings or the zoning boards you never know until it’s been announced in the news.

The Irish did it to themselves, dropping their religion and adopting atheism and left-wing causes.

Hideous caterwauling.

The polar opposite of church bells both in musical and cultural terms.

And an appropriately discordant celebration of submission to Satan.

You might want to wait until they actually start the noise before complaining about it.

This article says eight men were convicted: two for murder and the other six for manslaughter. Bit short on details.

In this case, it’s probably never too late to start.

Do some research on the subject of national referenda connected to the EU and you'll find Ireland prominently mentioned.And then research what happened after Irish voters tossed a monkey wrench in the EU's gears.

Then you'll see that the Irish,at the very least,had "help" in destroying their country and culture.

That help being courtesy of Brussels (meaning,in reality,courtesy of Berlin).

Yes but you defeat your own argument by saying it is a nuisance before it becomes a nuisance. It shows that the reason isn’t really the reason.

There is precedent elsewhere. This is not the first mosque on the planet after all.

I don’t dispute that they had help. But they’ve grown militantly left over the last 30-40 years.
