Voters in Hamtramck [Michigan] fail to quell Muslim prayer call

Voters in Hamtramck fail to quell Muslim prayer call

HAMTRAMCK -- Voters on Tuesday narrowly upheld a law allowing the city's Islamic mosques to have amplified calls to prayer, 1,462 to 1,200.

“I feel wonderful,” said Abdul Motlib, president of the Al-Islah Islamic Center. “Now we truly have approval from the residents of the city. We can feel proud of Hamtramck.”

"In the special election, about 29 percent of the city's 9,179 registered voters..."

I see there were over 9000 residents of the town who could have voted, but only about 2600 of them did. How unfortunate.
