Just in Time for 9/11, NYC Allows Islamic Call to Prayer Over Loudspeakers - Our surrender.
Front Page Magazine ^ | 6 Sep, 2023 | Robert Spencer

Did the 9/11 hijackers and plotters succeed? Can it finally be said, nearly twenty-two years after they murdered nearly three thousand people in New York and Washington, that they have attained their objectives?

Back in 2003, Osama bin Laden wrote a letter to the American people in which he explained, “The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.” Twenty years later, that very call will resound from loudspeakers all over the city that was his chief target on Sept. 11, 2001. (All the 9/11-was-an-inside-job types can find bin Laden taking responsibility for the attacks here). New York Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday announced what Gothamist described as “new NYPD rules” that “will allow mosques in New York City to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer without a permit.”

Adams couched this rule change in language designed to give the impression that he was doing something for people of all religious communities, but ended up making it clear that he was making a special concession to Muslims only: “For too long, there has been confusion about which communities are allowed to amplify their calls to prayer,” he said. “Today, we are cutting red tape and saying clearly, if you are a mosque or house of worship of any kind, you do not have to apply for a permit to amplify your call to Friday prayer.” Well, great, but the only “house of worship of any kind” that has a call to prayer, and particularly one for Friday, is a mosque.

As given to shallow demagoguery as any other Democrat politician, Adams concluded grandly: “You are free to live your faith in New York City.” That’s swell, although the religious freedom of Muslims in New York City wasn’t really restricted before this. Adams appears to be completely indifferent to the fact that there are non-Muslims in New York City as well as Muslims, and there has been controversy over the broadcast of the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers for years.

Back in 2016, Gothamist itself reported that neighbors of one city mosque found the call to prayer “too noisy,” and noted that they had “filed 156 noise complaints against Masjid al-Aman.” It’s grand that Muslims are free to live their faith in New York City, Mayor Adams, but do the neighbors of mosques have any right to enjoy a non-intrusive, noise-free environment, at least insofar as such a thing is possible at all in New York City?

Weird how New Yawkers fell in love so quickly with the Muzzies after they attacked New Yawk. Must be the World Trade Center Syndrome kicking in.

I can think of quite a few more ‘towers’ that need to be remembered......only I don’t think they call them ‘towers.’

This all traces back to that complete idiot George W. Bush. After 9/11 he had a unique opportunity to crush radical Islam. The entire civilized world was behind him.

Instead he told us that “Islam is peace.”

Imagine if after Pearl Harbor FDR had said, “Japanese imperialism is peace.”
Where would we then be today?

Surrender happened a long time ago under Bush. Remember the “religion of peace” thing, right after he said that American airports started being flooded with Muzzies.

The flight 93 memorial was also a surrender, it's not an accident that it's the “Crescent of Embrace”. Designed by people who initially claimed they were also memorializing the murdering muzzies. They were forced to drop the words that meant they were memorializing the muzzies but they didn't drop the design.

Since the day when 19 islamic fanatics flew occupied planes into occupied buildings, their savage ideology has become firmly established in the USA. They now are our new masters, and we their servants.

NYC officials clearly don’t know (or they don’t give a damn) about what is happening throughout Europe where practitioners of the Religion of Terror (i.e., “the ROT”) are allowed to control and run roughshod over citizens in the big cities.

“blaring some muzzle message five times a day!!”

From the article it seems like (as of now) it’s only on Friday, and it’s unclear if it’s 5x on Friday.

You’re not wrong.

And a nearly-complete financial collapse at the end of his Presidency (2nd term).

AND THEN he sides against American workers and a pro-America President......

i haven’t forgotten

of course, blue staters find the American flag to be offensive... it’s no wonder they bowed to those that attacked us.

Just blare “God Save the Queen” at the same time.

Seems fair?

One can make the case that the War on Terror was over before it began, and we lost. A mere seven years after 9/11 the American people elected a man named Hussein to be their president. Now this, the official capitulation.

muslims would SCREECH if they heard The Lord’s Prayer over a loudspeaker.

That is only the start.

A precedent has been set.

They know they will be able to do whatever they want and that pussy mayor will bend over and take it without lube.
