Or, that Christian song that a lot of Churches sing: "Our God is an Awesome God"
What a shame. I used to go to Hamtramck with my dad to fix furnaces when I was a kid. It's a Polish Catholic town where you could buy the best Polish food and Polish bake goods and pastry.
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?
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.
Religious tolerance for all!!!! (Except Christians and Jews, of course).
Out of respect for our soldiers that are dying in the name of ISLAM why the heck do we have to have a Mosque calling out to prayer in the USA 5 times a day? I don't get it?>>>
Please reread the First Amendment, if you can. If you can't, there are a number of countries you can move to.
I have a backyard neighbor that plays load arabic music that sounds like cats in heat. So on weekends when he starts this noise with his little radio I open the sliding glass doors to the den, crank up the 250 watts per channel multichannel mega amplified stereo and slip in Van Halen, Metalica, Hendrix,Ted Nugent, ZZ Top, Deaf Leappord, George Thorogood, or anything that must be played loud and rock the house. Its beautiful and gives me an excuse to crank it. The other neighbors applaud when I shut the arab squelch down to a level that only can be heard in his own space and the peace and quite return to normal. Than I just put the Giants game back on and work in the garden.
Don't be a dweeb you know what I mean...
Good for you!
I would recommend, along with the above, something to scare the Shiite out of 'em.....a laser show, with this!
"Political Powder Keg: Has Religious Tolerance Gone Too Far?"
As a Christian, I'd like to know: What religious tolerance?
Because Star Trek is set in the FUTURE!
Oh, did you think there was any difference between these Muslims and our "legacy" victim groups?
Now, THERE"S a Freeping Idea!!
The Hamtramck city council decision has been overturned by a citizens' petition, and will now go to general election.
Response: No.
Comment: There are two reasons: (1) Politicians need blocs of votes and politicians in these times will kill to woo those blocs;(2) Tolerance is defined as the inability to say Yes or No, the inability to take a stand. To take a stand requires a people. The U.S. has become merely a population.
Make that "read the bible" over loudspeakers five times a day. I'm thinking the aclu would be all over that one.
You know, the sad thing is that there's a really simple way around this...
First off, rather than loud speakers, the mosque could simply purchase a low or medium powered radio transmitter, and they could sell radio receivers to their congregation. Then, they could broadcast the call to prayers to their hearts content, without offending or bothering anyone else.
Since this simple idea was never brought up, it goes to reason that this isn't simply a way to notify believers that it's time to pray. It's a way to demonstrate their political power, and probably to intimidate the "infidels" too.

The "Public Call to Prayer" is a Statement of "Dominance."
Allowed to Persist, this "Islamic Tool of Intimidation" will be used to Dominate other American communities.
ALAS, Christian acts of Respect for Their God are expected to be Personal & Private, whereas "Muslim" "Acts of Obedience" are REQUIRED TO BE PUBLIC, & LOUD--&, Often, VIOLENT & HOMICIDAL!!
The Contrast between the "Precepts of" "Islam," & "Christianity" is Both PROFOUND & PROPHETIC!!
EITHER RATIONAL HUMANKIND "REPUDIATES & DESTROYS CONTEMPORARY ISLAM," or the "Psychopathology called 'Islam'" engulfs Contemporary Human Culture--and Humankind enters another Protracted "Dark Ages" from which we may NEVER Recover.
"Islam" is the "Dark Path" which will plunge "Humankind" into a "Redux of" the Twelfth Century.
There is NO, "Islamic Path" to Humanity's Future; "Islam" believes ONLY in our Past.
Doc
I don't know about Detroit .. but around my way Christian church bells aren't allowed to go off 5 times a day
BTW .. this stuff happened in a town in NJ .. I could be wrong, but even though there was a loud abjection to it .. I think the Muslims won and are allowed to do the call to prayers
