Other than aesthetically, how is this different than the angelus bells?

How did they broadcast over loud speakers during the first 1500 years of the existance of their religion? Seems to me that this is a more recent addition to their requirements since the advent of electricity. Let one of their religious leaders stand on top of the mosque and scream his lungs out and see how long it lasts.

I don't know. The article doesn't mention if they are using a city loudspeaker, or their own.

If they want to use a city loudspeaker, they should be shot down. Christians don't get to use city property to exercise their religion, nobody else should either.

If all they want to do is use their own equipment, and this is a noise statute issue, then I'm afraid they have to be allowed. It isn't any different than the bells (well, except for the aesthetic one, which is huge but not contstitutional).

Good question.

Well here it goes...
The "call" to prayer is more than that, it is a confirmation that;
1) God is most great
2) I testify that there is no god butt allah
3) I testify that mad mo is his prophet
4) Come to prayer ( mandatory )
5) Come to salvation or deliverence
6) God is most great
7) There is no god butt god
Then, off mike..
1) Die infidel scum
2) Infidels lives are worth no value
3) Burka sale at 5pm

Please consider that they majority of funding for these cults some from saudia arabia. The whahhabi sect of islam which has caused so much trouble so far. There are NOT here for freedom only submission.

Pork akbar!
