A holy war of sorts is heating up in a Detroit suburb, where members of the local Muslim community want loudspeakers on mosques to announce the Islamic call to prayer five times each day.

But the idea is running into opposition from other residents of Hamtramck, Mich., many of whom are Christian, who think the prayer calls as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 10 p.m. would be disruptive.

"When you call to prayer, you are proselytizing, and as a citizen of the United States I don't want to hear it," Bob Golen, 68, told the Detroit Free Press.

"It is not my God. My God is Jesus Christ," Caroline Zarski, 81, said. "I don't want this noise invading my home at 10 p.m."

The Al-Islah Islamic Center asked the city three months ago to alter its noise ordinance to allow the calls to prayer. In February, the council reportedly supported the change but sought a public hearing before making any change.

"We don't want to make it a big deal," said businessman Abdul Algazali, according to the Free Press. "It's a low-pitched voice. It's not going to wake up anybody."

Replace "Allah/Mohammed" with "God/Jesus" and you're not far from your average Christian prayer.

A crass attempt at moral relativism. No religion but Islam is based upon and propagated by slavery, oppression, and human slaughter.

You are just showing your a$$ here.

The death and destruction of anyone non-islamic, and this country itself.

Oh, you're talking about the other message of the militant fundamentalists. I was just talking about the Quran, which can be, and is, followed in practice of a 100% peaceful religion. Unfortunately, not many of those guys have the balls to stand up to the bad guys in their own religion.

I get it, you're one of them or a sympathizer. Nice.

Don't worry about the "posting" police.....do your thing, and welcome aboard....

PROBABLY out watching a good stoning

Remind him that the Taliban cut a woman's fingers off if they found her wearing nail polish. Three guesses what they did if she wore makeup on her face.

Your boss knows nothing of Islam. Tell him to read the stinking Koran. That alone is a huge eye-opener.

No religion but Islam is based upon and propagated by slavery, oppression, and human slaughter.

How about Judaism (as shown in the Bible) and Christianity (as practiced until a couple hundred years ago). You really need to read both your Bible and your history.

"Now you've switched subjects to other practices of religions. We were talking about how both Islam and Christianity prey on weak, ignorant people."

Not at all! I'm exposing the folly of your comparing the "religion" of Pat Robertson's 700 believers to the "cult" of Islam. There is no comparison... to the rightful thinking objective individual.

[antiRepublicrat]

Cute, I never thought of that.

Thanks. Uh, posting police? What have I done now?

[Blzbba]

"but when Islam takes the last city, you will be given the choice of a prayer rug or a coffin."


LOL! As if that's going to happen.

[Iron Matron]

Cute, I never thought of that.


Well, thanks for taking it so well.

[antiRepublicrat]

You're very paranoid. I would fight to make sure America didn't become a Muslim theocracy. But if they're just living peacefully as loyal American citizens I have no problem with them.

[broadsword]

I was just talking about the Quran, which can be, and is, followed in practice of a 100% peaceful religion.

This right here, folks, is proof positive that he has NOT read the Koran, but is just talking out his a$$ to continue baiting and insulting Americans in general and Christians in particular.

TROLL ALERT!

There is definitely a comparison. Religions conversions work best on the weak and ignorant, no matter which religion we're talking about. Fully happy, smart, stable people do not convert to religions.

I am sure he gets it he just cant stand the thought that stupid white christians kicked the indians asses, they are now and have been for a long time a conquered nation.

"Replace "Allah/Mohammed" with "God/Jesus" and you're not far from your average Christian prayer."

You are full of half truths. I am a born again believer and I am not forced to say any of these things when I "choose" to pray. Man, you must feel awful disenfranchised with the Christian faith.

...."both Islam and Christianity prey on weak, ignorant people...."

**I'm** not gonna touch that line, but it should be repeated for the sake of the Christians-in-residence here on Free Republic. Any bashing you get from it you have earned.

I know he doesn't, but he talked to a Jewish Rabbi after 911, who told him that muslimes worshipped the same God as Christians (or thats what he understood him to say), so he thinks he knows.

Some are just too willing to keep their heads in the sand, maintain the status quo, but they dont understand that the dimdems having been in power so long, has changed the moral climate in this country. He has a bad case of PC.

I'm trying to open his eyes, and I will.
