"ALLAHU AKBAR!" is the Muslim call to murder.

Just ask Nick Berg, or the millions of others who heard "Allahu akbar! screamed with joy as their throats were cut.

Why don't these Mooslims leave the "great satan" and go live in an Islamic country where they won't be defiled by us Christians?

They intend to fix that problem soon...

Like the piece said about tolerance, something to the effect that they don't have to tolerate us, but we have to tolerate them in our own house.

If we do not defend our freedom, they will be glad to take it. This reminds me of the SALT talks, where we made a deal to destroy our missiles if they destroy theirs. They did. Then we made a deal to destroy our nuclear warheads and they didn't. Now those warheads are remounted on the new missiles developed with the money we sent them to destroy their old missiles and warheads.

There is a lot of difference between a church bell ringing and Prayers at 500 watts. It is shocking to me that the very people who cheer the "separation of church and state" banning of all things Christian in the public place would get on the bandwagon for Imams screaming from the rooftops under the same laws.

Some people were made to be sheeple. I am sure their new Islamic Masters will teach them to say Baaaa.

Freedom based on who gets the right and who doesn't is tyranny. Freedom based on everybody does not get to do anything is not freedom either. This is not an issue if the Imam would stay under the noise pollution limits, just like anybody can play a stereo. The problem is that the "call to prayer" that is a religious statement of dominance over the area is way over the noise pollution decibel limits.

The problem here is they want "special" laws just for them, they get a 100+ db limit, where everybody else must be under the law. Another problem is that The first call to prayer is done at 4:30 AM!!!!! I do not like Hari-Krishnas in my face at the airport, I sure will not like an Imam in my bed at 4:30 AM. The call to prayer must be loud enough to wake the dead at sleep Islamics that forgot to put on their alarm clocks. That is the crux of the matter. This is not about freedom, it is about religion in your face.

Council member Scott Klein says, "The folks I've seen leading this have nothing on the boys from Montgomery, the boys from Birmingham, the boys from Mississippi."

WTH??? People from AL & MS are now the automatic gold standard for racism, or something? Jeez.

Oh yes they learned would they dare call someone a racist in there Muslim Land? I think not...Muslims must think were pretty easy prey...

The sad thing is we ARE pretty easy prey
For this to ever get this far shows that.

What would happen if someone put up loudspeakers in Bangladesh and started playing a tape saying JESUS IS THE SAVIOR !!! 5 times a day ?
That wouldn't even go over in Hamtramck !

If these people want to do this I would suggest they move back to where they came from or learn to have consideration for their neighbors.

To quote a movie I once saw : "What you boys need is an attitude adjustment"

That is false, there is no constitutional protection for calls to prayer or church bells for that matter.

Get rid of the Church bells and the calls to prayer. Both of them irritate me.

More than likely the "Church bells" referred to are simply clocks chiming the hour.

Joanne Golen says, "Why is it wrong for them to practice their religion the way they want to? They can do it any way they want in their mosque, like we do in our churches, in their homes, like we do. I can even sit on my porch and pray silently. I'm all for them practicing their religion, but I do not want to hear over loudspeakers their god being praised in my ears five times a day."

When it comes to absolute religious tolerance, when you're in for a calf you're in for a cow.

Albanian moslems and their terrorist connections have destroyed hundreds of centuries old Christian churches in Kosovo since Clinton assisted the drug/terrorist gangs in driving out the Serbs. Claiming any kind of civilization for Albanians indicates your complete ignorance of that society. It is just as brutal, backward and demented as the rest of Moslem societies.

One does not have to be a Serb to understand the Moslem invasion of Europe through its Balkan underbelly is, after a hiatus of centuries, once again in full sway assisted by NATO and the US. They have ethnically cleansed Kosovo turning a population 90% Serb after WWII to 90% Albanian.

Islame is a disgusting religion concocted by a murderous lunatic and spread through the weakest piece of religious literature ever "written." Even pagan religions thousands of years older than Islame show a depth, beauty and profundity completely absent from that POS. What real religion commands murder in the name of its God? Which one kills non-believers? Which one treats women worse than dogs? Which one sees no problem in slaughtering innocents for political reasons? I know you can say it.

Amen to that! I'm with you, if you want to let Muslims know there is a call to prayer at a Mosque then go back to your country of origin and ring away!

Otherwise if your in the Good Ol' USA print out a program and give them out to your congregation lettting them know the times of your service...what is so darn hard about doing that?

I recently went back to my hometown in New Jersey after 25 years. Then, it was a leafy Episcopalian commuter town. Now it's like a slum in some combination of the Dominican Republic and Egypt.

Uh, may I suggest you buy a calendar? It's been sixty years, and in the last ten, the Serbs BECAME Nazis, and the Bosniacs were just minding their damned business until the Serbs tried to do to them what the Nazis did at Babi Yar.

Albanian moslems and their terrorist connections have destroyed hundreds of centuries old Christian churches in Kosovo since gabba gabba yadda yadda yadda.

No. They destroyed hundreds of centuries old SERB churches in Kosovo after the Serbs destroyed hundreds of centuries old mosques. What goes around comes around.
