At 2:30 A.M., Jews Blast Shema Prayer at Muslim Neighborhood
Arutz Sheva ^ | 27/7/14 | Gil Ronen

Armed with loudspeakers, they blasted the “Shema” incantation (from the 'Hear O Israel' prayer) in the direction of the Muslim Arab neighborhood of Tzur Baher. They reportedly did so at about 2:30 a.m.

Video of the Jewish counterattack garnered enthusiastic reactions on Facebook.

Jews all over Israel find themselves routinely harassed by noise pollution from Muslim neighborhoods in recent years. This less-known “intifada” by Arabs involves fitting loudspeakers on minarets in mosques – which for centuries made do with unamplified muezzin calls for prayer.

The Jerusalem Municipality reportedly embarked on a process to investigate and limit the noise pollution by local mosques, in January. According to the move, initiated by nationalist Councilman Aryeh King, the prayer call of 200 mosques in the eastern part of Jerusalem will be measured to see if the decibel level violates the law.

King made the fight against Muslim noise pollution a priority when he was elected last November. At the time he stated "just like it's forbidden for us (Jews) to make loud noises after 12 at night it will be forbidden for them."

200,000 shekels have reportedly been allocated for the pilot program, in which the volume of the prayer calls emanating from two mosques in the south of the city will be measured. Mosques that disturb the public peace with their amplified prayer call will be put on a "black list" by the city.

Mosques on the list will be ordered to turn their loudspeakers to face the center of the Arab neighborhoods and villages, to try and prevent disturbances to the rest of the city. ....

I've always favored blasting "There Can Be Miracles" in Hebrew:

to counter it, and at the exact same time as the calls to Muslim prayers. We could just call it an accompaniment for the Muazzin. But Shema is better.

And of course the world MSM will call it outrages. Deplorable. Have the Jews no respect for Islam?

OK. We’ll use a higher decibel level.

You can hear them in the Old City every morning, coming in from Jaffe Gate. They sound real pretty. So why not give the Muslims rising to prayer at 4 am the same benefit?

Yep and maybe just maybe remind the Muslims of what their own did to the Christians in Iraq.

Idea: Ever time the Muzzies start blasting out their call to prayer, drown it out with Christian church bells, air raid sirens, or “Havah Nagilah” [Hebrew: “Let Us Rejoice”]. Psychological warfare doesn't directly hurt the bloody butchers of Hamas, but it certainly can make them nuts and place themselves where the IDF can kill them more efficiently.

I was hoping this was about a Moslem neighborhood in Detroit or London ;-).

Personally, I would prefer to continuously broadcast the song that broke Noriega, the Panama drug lord and former dictator.

No reason why it can’t be. They make it that loud just to be obnoxious, so turnabout is fair play play.

“How about, “I kissed a goat and I liked it!”.”

A literture search will indicate the abundance of data showing kissing the goat is just the beginning of Muslim/goat relating.
