"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."

Translation: I'm all for freedom of religion as long as it's mine.

Nope!

Real translation, "I'm all for freedom of religion, as long as YOUR religion isn't forced into my home!

This would be NO different than Christian (or any other) religious TV or radio programming, if you couldn't turn it off! The fact is that if they're going to use loudspeakers to broadcast the call to prayers, that WILL invade the privacy of people in their homes. A better way to go would be to have the mosque buy a radio station, and have the worshipers keep their radios on in their homes and cars.

Oh, you mean like those anti-sodomy, anti-porn and anti-sex toy laws? Okay, we agree.

If you'd read more, you'd see I don't think they should be able to do it either.
