But of course, in Fairfax County, Virginia, the local government told a church to stop tolling its bells because neighbors were "annoyed" by the noise.

And if true, related to this story how?

If one can outlaw one religious observance (bells), then when does the next become illegal (call to prayer)?

Or vice-versa.

I related it to this line in the post I responded to...

The story didn't mention it, but the neighborhood is going to be driven nuts by the "call to prayer" wailing out of loudspeakers five time a day.

Yes, it's true, it was on FR yesterday (link to The Washington Post).
