So Paul Revere and William Dawes weren't warning that "the Red Coats were coming" but they were sounding the Muslim Call to Prayer? Suppose it could be misunderstood that way, given the Bostonian Accent that had to be in play.
He said to his friend, "If the infidels march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the minaret arch
Of the North Mosque as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex caliphate and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to pray.

LOL!! Truly...he made a similar statement in his Cairo speech. It speaks to his overall credibility.
