Hold on there and not so fast. If the law is violated, there is still a local police to handle the situation. (It is a pretty stinkin' mind-set if they actually said they'd ignore the law.)
Those who think the Mohammedans wanted this just to "call their faithful" to prayer, they're dead wrong.
This is an "in your face" message by the Mohammedan community to America.
Simply read the account of the Mohammedans who were instrumental in getting this ordinance passed (paraphrase): "This is the first step. Today it's here. Tomorrow, all of America will be hearing our call to prayer."
The message is: Islam is your future.
You're exactly right.
Next they're going to demand that all commerce cease, all stores close, non-Muslims bow their head, no crossing the street...
I would have no problem hearing the call to prayer, if I was visiting that community. I don't mind church bells when I hear them on occasion, either. Neither noise can convert me to those faiths. It takes more than that, in my opinion.
I've a feeling this is going to get awfully expensive for the city of Hammtramck. I sense lawsuits in the near future.
Like I said, that's not the point.
The call to prayer isn't an evangelical tool anyways.
The point is Mohammedans want to impose Shariah law on the rest of us. They go about this incrementally in many cases, which is what they're doing here.
Well I hope so, it's getting so that when police are called in to deal with immigrant problems these days they talk about "building bridges" with them, which translates into doing nothing. We'll see.
I really hate to have to inform you of this, but...
check out www.littlegreenfootballs.com. Unfortunately, the residents of Hamtramck are dealing with people who care little for the rule of law. Read the article on this site. The mosque intends to begin broadcasting the call to prayers beginning at 1:30p.m. on Friday.
But if the community votes for amplified call to prayer, the Muslims will be pleased. In Hamtramack is it true that there is a large Muslim community? The people will vote, right?
Majority rule is tyranny.
So if 50%+1 of the population of this town votes for Shariah Law to govern all affairs, all the others should have to live under it too?
Mohammedanism should be treated like National Socialism was treated in this country during WWII...like the enemy.
Hopefully there will be enough pressure and attention on this that the police will have to do something other than build a bridge.
Are these people going to vote in that way? Is that the gist of it? If the majority of the people agree that this is a right and good thing, this is what they will get.
If the Muslims have a right to their "call to prayer", then the non-Muslim citizens have the right to show up with bullhorns yelling "Mohammod was a limp-d*cked pedophile".
Hey, free speech is free speech, right?
I wondered how long the Poles in Hamtramck wold put up with that cr*p.
This petition put the ordinance on the ballot, when that happened it made the councils vote null and void, leaving it for a November vote by the people.
I dont know if my use of the word petition is correct but this puts it on the November ballot for the people to vote.
Does anyone know what is the percentage of Muslim voters living there?
I dont know the ethnic breakdown of Hamastramck, but I doubt it is more than 30% muslim.
We should just park our cars across from the mosque and blare some Van Halen (1984) to drown out their satanic chanting.
