The City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan approved an amendment to the city's noise ordinance to allow the Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers 5 times daily, from 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. The new ordinance takes effect May 26. Nonie Darwish writes the following:
Someone out there Knows What Needs to be Done.
I'm writing the sequel to this novel. It will be called "Domestic Enemies," and is set about 2010-2015. EF&D was a major undertaking, and so will Domestic Enemies be a major undertaking. You can read the first 20 chapters of EF&D online, if you want to know if I can write. Just click the cover.
That is why I never give my actual name or address when posting letters to newspapers. We have a local paper that has a daily column that allows callers to register their opinions anonymously. It is hard to verbally express one's opinion on these deep topics FULLy, because in "real life" no one gives you enough time to fully express your thoughts. WRITING has a great advantage in this case. I am glad there are others out there who are doing something, and I will never give up...
CITY GIVES TENTATIVE OK FOR MUSLIM PRAYER CALLS - HAMTRAMCK, MICHIGAN
I'm actually OK with is as long as it is voice only and not electronically amplified. Let is go as far as the wind will carry a non-amplified human voice.
Also, I wouldn't sell "grumbling on this website" short. If you read or hear someone calling Allah Akbar the "Muslim call to murder" in a few months, you will know that was me at work, in the background. Or if you read "Heil Hitler equals Allahu Akbar," or "Mein Kampf = Mein Koran," you will also know where that came from. Don't discount the power of nugget-sized ideas to move a debate.
But if nugget-sized ideas aren't for you, read EF&D, or when it comes out, Domestic Enemies.
What are YOU doing for the cause?
If you are seriously writing a book that is great, but unfortunately, not enough people are reading much these days, and we have to use guerilla marketing techniques to reach the media-drenched masses
Fatwa incoming
As I said in post 44 ( i think it was ) I work very hard, through letters to newspaper editors , phone calls, etc, and I feel I am carrying the ball for 1,000 people who sit back and say/do nothing.
Aim for the dead center .... hitting the horn itself is not really going to affect the electronic mechanism inside.
Why the muslims of course.
I want to add, obviously what you are doing is GREAT, and admirable. Each one of us who is trying--outside of this website-- to affect a change, is doing the work of 1000 people who gripe here, but don't put their money where their mouths are.
Read the 20 chapters online, and you can decide if I'm a serious writer or not. If I pass muster, I'm all ears when it comes to guerrilla marketing. Believe me, I'm attacking on many fronts.
oops--I meant to send post 72 to you, not myself. Time for bed.
Even .308s won't stop the loudspeaker broadcasting of the Muslim Call to Murder. They will just put the loudspeakers out of the line of fire, or behind steel boxes.
"It is a form of environmental pollution"
Hey, don't they sacrifice poor little goats in rituals? That is cruelty to animals and must be stopped by any and all means, don't you think?
***************************
Bob Bullard, the old STU Team operational commander who shot and killed Brad Fallon back at Malvone's house at the end of EF&D, is going to be a very senior federal LE official in SoCal. ("He gets results!") His story will be intertwined with Ranya's escape. His first scene is in his federal building Homeland Security office in LA, meeting some Muslim Muftis and other Muslim leaders. They now mainly live in "The Muslim Quarter," (maybe in Orange County, not sure yet.) The "Muslim Quarter" AKA "New Fallujah" is now walled-off from the rest of the city.
The Muslims have done this walling-off and barricading themselves, for "protection" against marauding "anti-Muslim bigots" who have taken so many potshots at mosques, following acts of terrorism. The PC-to-the-end Cali govt rolls over to this Muslim self-segregation, "going along to get along." (There are many walled-off "Muslim Quarters," but New Fallujah is one of the biggest.)
Inside the MQ, there is virtual Sharia Law. Regular outside local police only go into the MQ with an escort from MQ security forces. Women are wearing the hijab scarf at least, and many are in veils and burq'as.
This early Bob Bullard scene shows give and take between the US LE officials, and the Muslim leaders:
"Imam, we've had some disturbing reports of folks showing up in ER's missing a hand...."
"We had nothing to do with that."
"That's not what the fellows with one hand say."
"They are lying. Anyway, New Fallujah has the lowest crime rate in California, who are you to tell us how to run our lives?"
"Okay, let that go, but what about the call to prayer? Can't you turn down the volume? You might get along better with your neighbors if you didn't hit them with that Allahu Akbar song five times a day."
"Don't you dare to take the name of Allah in vain! I'm warning you!"
"Calm down chief, forget it. Don't get your turban in a knot. You know our deal: as long as you tell us when the jihad boys are planning something outside of New Fallujah, you'll stay in charge and collect all your baksheesh. You cross us on that...and we'll let the jihad boys know about our deal, you got it? Okay, good, I thought so. Now what about the girls. We've heard that little girls in New Fallujah are getting....ah....that....'procedure' done to them...."
"It's none of you business! That is our culture, so please don't interfere! New Fallujah has the finest clinics and schools in California! You should worry about your own people, your pregnant teenage charmutas, your abortion clinics...."
