You wrote: "It sounds like you think that local determination of noise ordinances are improper."

I replied: "If the call is so loud that it violates the city's noise ordinance, then I agree that it should not be broadcast."

Your wrote: "Second, how is the Muslim freedom of religion violated by the government because local people object to the wailing moans coming out of those loudspeakers?" and "Third, how does this impact on the government regulation of free speech?"

I replied: "It violates freedom of religion and speech in that those who oppose based on those types of arguments (it's not my religion arguments) want the city to disallow the call based on those arguments, not on the noise issue."

It makes no difference on what basis the decision is made. How does stopping the wailing on loudspeakers prevent them from practicing their religion or from speaking out against the government? Are you really this slow or do you simply not understand the very arguments you were trying to make?

1) I HATE ISLAM. Intolerant? Damn Right. When they tolerate other religions, other religions will tolerate them. It's a 2-way street and the muslims want both lanes.

2) I don't give a rat's behind what religion it is. Broadcasting ANYTHING that loud at 6AM is going to piss me off.

Amendment I - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The above amendment does not say anything about 'Freedom of Religion'. It says CONGRESS shall make no law....

And I also want to know, are you following the pedophile Mo and is blood-thirsty cult?
