When we were stationed in Saudi Arabia, we kept the air conditioners going full time most of the year. During our first February there, I shut them down and opened the windows. At just about 0445 was "al fajr," the morning call to prayer. From that point on, we kept the ACs running for the next 15 months. It is incredibly annoying.

Commerce comes to a stop at every prayer call. We were at the suq one evening, buying replacement batteries for my son's watch. At the opening "bars" of the prayer call, the Hindu shopkeeper looked at us, shrugged his shoulders, then pulled down the grating; he said he'd see us when "the all-clear" signal came on.

We were doing heavy lift operations with helicopters. We had a schedule we had to adhere to as to not interfere with calls to prayer. The rotor wash ruined the wonderful muse.

A three week job turned into two months.

That's the idea behind this ;don't kid yourself.

The constant Islamic call to prayer 5 times a day , 7 days a week will make the infidel so uncomfortable he will move out.

But who is going to buy in? Property values will fall and more afordable housing will be available for Allah's children who can live in an Islamic ghetto and not have to rub shoulders with the infidel. -Tom
