In case anyone is wondering what a muezzin is:

MUEZZIN, mn-ez'zin (MUEDDIN): The official attached to a Mohammedan mosque, whose business it is to chant the azan (from which the word muezzin is formed with the aid of the preformative), or call of the faithful to prayer, five times each day. The call is sounded from the minaret, if the mosque has one, otherwise from the side of the mosque. The words of the call are: " Allah is most great (four times); I testify that there is no God but Allah (twice); I testify that Mohammed is the apostle of Allah (twice); come to prayer (twice); come to salvation (twice); Allah is most great (twice); there is no god but Allah." In the early morning call, after the words " Come to salvation," the Muezzin adds " Prayer is better than sleep " (twice).

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

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.
