How many minarets are there in an hour?
Soon people visiting Ground Zero will have to hear that horrible noise five times a day.
Oh God-Can you imagine all that screeching noise going off at one time?
The muzzies are going to sync the prayers to the mecca clock via computer world wide so that the muslims have their own time and western time is abandonded.
The result will be a synchronized “call to worship” that can be heard five times a day world wide.
That would truly be domination of the mind and we need to end these calls to worship in the USA.
Sorry, slings. I don’t find anything funny here. This mecca clock/unified islam time thing is an insidious idea and should be crushed if possible.
One of the reasons why Christianity really advanced the development of mechanical clocks was the need to tell monks the time of prayer service in the morning, mid day, and evening in monasteries. Indeed, the church tower bell synchronized to mechanical clocks literally became the way to tell time for a whole town around the church that could hear it until the arrival of accurate handheld watches in the 18th Century.
Cool—in Egypt, you’ll be able to set your cellphone with a special ringtone for when the mosque calls. Hmmmm... which tune to use?
Tuneless? How could they tell?
