RAMALLAH, West Bank: Thousands of Arab Palestinians took to the streets in Israel to protest a mosque bill that will ban muezzins from using loudspeakers to call the faithful to prayers.
Sami Abu Shihadeh, the Arab member of Yaffa (Jaffa) municipal council, said the residents held the protests in his city and Umm Al-Fahem, Shafa’amr, Baqah Al-Gharbiyeh, Tarsheeha, Al-Taybeh, Nazareth, Negev and Al-Teireh against the bill, proposed by Knesset member Anastasia Michaeli of rightist Yisrael Beiteinu party.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to bring the bill to a vote by his Cabinet on Sunday after he failed to muster enough support to pass it at a session last week. Explaining his backing for the bill, Netanyahu said there was “no need to be more liberal than Europe,” in an apparent reference to the 2010 Swiss law that forbids mosques from having minarets.
If approved, the new law would ban loudspeakers from all mosques in Israel.

law would ban loudspeakers from all mosques
let them all get pagers...
Does the bill apply only to Mosques or to Synagogues too? Not that I’ve ever heard of a speaker on a Synagogue but the bill should apply equally.
lol!
Wow! That would be great. Those things are incredibly annoying.
ML/NJ
Not all religions are created equal.
Besides, loud speakers are a political protest cock blocking mean used by mobs.
I agree essentially, but the rule should still work both ways to be fair and non biased.
During my time in Iraq, everyone knew that the mosques were pep rallies for the enemy. They’d come out of the services fired up by the hate speech of the imams, ready to commit jihad.
It gave rise to the saying, “When the yodeling stops, the bomb drops.”
Of course. There's Christianity and a bunch of false religions.
No, Jews don't go for that, or for converting non-Jews by the sword.
I agree! In every news report about Arabs rioting or denouncing Israel and the USA in the streets, they all have cell phones. Make them text the "call to prayer" or just phone it in. Or better yet, teach them how to tell time on a watch or clock.
You are a problem solver. That's cool. Maybe they could TEXT that gibberish.
fairness is always relevant.
Right...
looks like two sides of the same coin
Wow. Not at all. One side is committed to the extermination of the other. There is no moral equivalency at all.
guess we’ll have to agree to disagree
SKA-REW that!
Israel is the Jewish homeland, "The Promised Land". They don't need any filthy murdering moslems and their hideous, raucous mosks.
What do you think this is...the USA?
I'm glad you think so. Now let's hear your thoughts on the fact that churches are banned in many Muslim countries (including Saudi Arabia). Not just a call to prayer... the whole other religion. Would you consider that "fair"?
Not at all. So if Muslim countries are unfair to their citizens then that somehow gives Israel the right to be unfair its citizens? That's some kind of logic.
This article is in error. The bill relates only to the first and last calls to prayer, which can be as early as 4:30 in the morning and 10:00 in the evening during the summer.
During the day, when the ambient noise is greater, the calls to prayer aren't a problem. In recent months, a number of mosques upgraded their sound systems to a level that the noisiest discotheques would be proud of, and play the call to prayer at full volume.
Holding others to a higher standard for the sake of principle(at least that’s supposedly the reason, there is more than enough reason to suspect otherwise) is what has gotten the West to its pretty pass in dealing with Islam, because Islam doesn’t play by the same rules. Just as they use American democratic means to chip away at democracy.
I daresay the Israelis, having much longer experience of this than we have, understand that their survival is more important than upholding this particular abstract principle, because it’s suicidal when only one side does it.
Should the Israelis commit suicide to satisy the liberal West’s demand for “fairness”?
And applying noise laws fairly is committing suicide? That's some kind of logic.
America was fighting muslims 150 years before modern Israel existed.
In the early 1930's with Hitler seeking election in the waning days of the Weimar Republic, there existed a now nearly forgotten, obscure political entity known as "Jews for Hitler" (I kid you not.).
"Jews for Hitler" afflicted with the same self-deluding left-wing liberal mindset we have today as practiced by the DemoRats, supported the Nazi political plank in so far as it related to the national, economic, demographic policies the Nazis vowed to implement, considering the genocidal vehemence against Jews as mere political boisterousness. Well, we all know how that turned out.
Regarding the unbridled revulsion I have towards the mentally-deranged Shimon Peres and those of his eternally-damned ilk, I've always felt them to be the political heirs of those like "Jews for Hitler", who in embracing their enemy only serve to expedite their very own demise, self-destruction.

By the way, Hillary is buying into the lie of “women for peace” as negociators. A communist loophole to disarm women while making them believe they are worth it amongst democrates.
She is obviously a hater of women much as islamics who call themselves pro-christianity as they disarm them and call them erroneous.

i’m speaking of the principle of fairness, as you are. How far should they go with this? They seem to believe it’s in their best interests to be “unfair”, and I think they’re the best judges of that.
Yes, I know about Tripoli, enslavement, etc. It’s not the same thing that the Israelis are dealing with, since their resumption as a nation.
As do the muzzies. Like I said, two sides of the same coin.
Hardly. The Israelis aren’t sending suicide bombers , including the mentally retarded, amongst civilians in order to kill them. They’re not getting the world’s support (including a sickening Nobel “Peace” prize for a terrorist murderer) as they promise repeatedly to annihilate a whole people. The Israelis aren’t sending men to American flight schols where they don’t need to learn to land a plane because they intend to kill themselves and every innocent passenger and 3000 innocent civilians.
Are you for real?
Real as a heart attack.
Clowns should be thankful the Isrealis don’t blow the mosques up.
lol lol lol
Muzzies can get prayer call apps for their Iphones and it even GPS-points toward Mecca.
Mosque loudspeakers are purely aggressive in nature, just like minarets are for gazing at conquered territory.
Yes.
Had a Muslim co-worker. Visited his house once while working on a project with him. He had a gold clock-type device that would sound the call to prayer at the appropriate hours.
But I see here that you have no problem understanding that some things are black and white, that some things are wrong and that some are right.
i.e., you understand that "normalizing" "alternative" lifestyles in a nation based on Judeo-Christian principles is wrong, yet you have no problem with using your BULLSQUAT FAKE ARUGUMENT OF "FAIRNESS to compel the world's only JEWISH NATION to tolerate the promoting of the cancer of jihad which has, for it's entire 1300+years of existence made NO BONES about taking your "tahhhlerance" and using it to cut off the heads of its enemies, and, eventually the heads of those useless infidels, no matter if they are total libs or conservatives posing/whining as "FAIR" when it suits them.
So now you can contemplate your head coming off (is your collar tight now?) right after the heads of the Jews who you are so convinced should allow muslims to continue propagating their BS fake religion.
Do us all a favor.
Go be "fair and balanced on some Lavender Agenda thread.
Wow, sounds just like what happened to the Cannanites.
"Do us all a favor. Go be "fair and balanced on some Lavender Agenda thread."
No, I think I'll stay here. You don't like it? - too bad.
But they should.
So you have sympathy for and admire the Canaanites, who did child sacrifice by burning their kids alive?
HOW SO PALESTINIAN-LIKE, AND HOW TOLERANT OF YOU.
CC: "America was fighting muslims 150 years before modern Israel existed."
Got a bee up your butt over Jews today?
Jews (and hindus and buddhists) were fighting muslims ONE THOUSAND YEARS before America existed.
What's you major malfunction? ARE YOU A JIHADI? Or are you simply one of those stupid morons who blames Israel for 9/11?
YOU STUPID FREAKING JACKASS, why don't you apply the "balanced" standards you set for Israel, to US HERE IN AMERICA.
Why don't you demand A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO? How about insisting America give back the SW to MEXICO?
ARE THOSE YOUR POSITIONS?
Guess what, MORON, There's a mosque on top of the JEWISH TEMPLE MOUNT. and Israel has already given back NINETY TWO PERCENT OF IT"S LAND TO JIHADI SCUM.
So to be fair and balanced, why don't you insist America do likewise.
Oh, you won't?
Why not?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HEMORRHOID FOR JEWS?
/sigh... how many more of these jihadi-apologist jackasses are infecting FR?
Israel did the same thing- sacrificed their children in the fire to the god Molech. You have sympathy for it?
"Jews (and hindus and buddhists) were fighting muslims ONE THOUSAND YEARS before America existed."
So were Christians, what's your point? You originally said Israel had more experience and I pointed out America had fought muslims earlier. So you change the subject? Got a bee up you butt over logic today?
"So to be fair and balanced, why don't you insist America do likewise."
Because it's not America's problem, punk. Israel belongs to whoever is strong enough to take and hold it. That's how it's been for at least 3000 years. Whoever that happens to be at any given time really doesn't matter.
Do you always whine like an old woman all the time?
“So were Christians, what’s your point? “
That you can’t read? I added that 20 hours before you resquatted with your stupid juvenile commenting.
Whats YOUR point. To show that you are illiterate?
“You originally said Israel had more experience and I pointed out America had fought muslims earlier.”
No that was another freeper you were commenting too. And what was your point about America fighting Islam, SINCE YOU ENJOY KISSING ISLAM’S BEHIND, WITH FERVOR.
“”So to be fair and balanced, why don’t you insist America do likewise.” Because it’s not America’s problem, punk. Israel belongs to whoever is strong enough to take and hold it.””
Really, SCHMUCK? America’s INSECURE BORDERS AND OUR *SS-LICKING TO JIHAD IS NOT AMERICA’S PROBLEM?
Whats the matter, have a LOGIC FAILURE IN YOUR PANTS?
“That’s how it’s been for at least 3000 years. Whoever that happens to be at any given time really doesn’t matter.”
If it doesn’t matter, why are you so vociferous demanding the Jews take it up the rear from the muslims LIKE YOU LIKE TO DO.
YOU came on this thread about Israel finally showing some brass and telling the jihadi scum to tone it down, and YOU ripped into the Jews telling them how to be “FAIR”.
Freaking jihadi FAIRy. How do you type so much lying on your back in the tent?
