Amendment I to the Constitution of the United States:
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. Through the passing of Amendment XIV, the above is fully enforceable to all states and local governments.
To prohibit Islamic calls to prayer is a clear violation of the Constitution.
I giss yu'll just have to live with the fact that them there aaaa-rabs will have the same rights as you.

Many of the first 10 amendments are applicable to the state. However, the 1st Amendment is a prohibition against government agencies from
chilling free speech, and certainly has nothing to do with
instituting a form of speech which is routinely denied to others.
Would you also be in support of public address systems broadcasting the Christian daily prayer over the same medium? Let me guess. You'll say it's an alert, whereas daily prayer is a religious message.

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

To prohibit Islamic calls to prayer is a clear violation of the Constitution.The whole purpose in Islam being here is to eventually --- as soon as they can --- overthrow the Constitution and replace it with Sharia law.
