Priest Velimir Stojanovic, who lives with his family in the churchyard of the Serbian Orthodox Church of St. Sava in the southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, told Tanjug that the Greek soldiers protecting this shrine have forbidden the use of the church bells.
"Representatives of KFOR introduced this ban with the explanation that Orthodox church bells irritate the Albanians," says Father Velimir. "The last time the bells were heard was on Easter Sunday, April 15 of this year," he explained, adding that so far he has not publicized this ban because he thought it was temporary. "The church bells did not ring on Ascension Day (Spasovdan, May 25) and I think that this is not good for either the church or the people," said Father Velimir.
Every day, five times a day, the song of the muezzins from the minarets of three mosques in the southern, Albanian part of the town can be heard. A fourth mosque is open and undisturbed in the village of Zabari, near Kosovska Mitrovica.

Interesting... thanks. I always wondered what they were saying/singing (other than "Allah is most great").

Will the UN ban Muslim prayer verses from being broadcast from mosques? I doubt it.

This is the perfect illustration of the Demo/lib method of the use of force in an international conflict. Portray the aggressors as victims and disenfranchise the party with legitimate concerns about their rights and safety. Or, take the example of Somalia, send U.S. Forces into hostilities without proper firepower and protection because it didn't "look " or "feeeel" right internationally to overpower the warlords' with unbearable force. They just have to mix P.C. with power in every case.This was the case with Clinton, and Kerry is even more liberal. That fact alone is enough to ring MY bell.

Sieg Allah! Phhht!
Sieg Allah! Phhht!
Sieg Allah! PHHHHHT!
Sieg--PHHHHT!, Sieg-PHHHHT!
Right in Allah's face!
Allah told Mohammad,
"You are the Master Race!"
So to love Allah
Would be a big disgrace,
So when Mohammad says,
"Sieg", go Phhhht!,
Right in Allah's face!

This is an article from 3 years ago and it was posted here. It shows you once they (whether so-called "allies" Greeks or Russians) are in the system NATO in the former and KFOR in the later, they are allies no more and do their masters' bidding.
Now that church has just been destroyed, so they won't have to worry about hearing the bells any longer. The intolerants.

Christians under Moslem suzerainty have always been forbidden to ring church bells (at most they are allowed to use wooden clappers to summon parishioners to worship), they could not build new churches, they couldn't repair damage to churches without official permission (never forthcoming), they couldn't wear religious symbols in public but did have to wear special clothing in public identifying them as Christians, they couldn't ride a horse in the presence of a Muslim, etc. In addition, they were subject to having their children kidnapped, "converted to Islam," sold into slavery/sexually abused.
Such has been the imposition of Muslims on subjugated Christians for centuries, only now the UN is enforcing it on their behalf.
