The problem is that church bells are carillons, but the moslem call to prayer is actually prayers broadcast over public space. (And yes I have read the translation of the call.)

If moslems wish to use carillons to call to prayer that would be acceptable, but not broadcast prayer.

Nope.

I saw a TV program with a prayer call in Istanbul, Turkey, and it sent shudders down my spine, and no, I never want to hear that again.
