RAMALLAH, West Bank: Thousands of Arab Palestinians took to the streets in Israel to protest a mosque bill that will ban muezzins from using loudspeakers to call the faithful to prayers.
Sami Abu Shihadeh, the Arab member of Yaffa (Jaffa) municipal council, said the residents held the protests in his city and Umm Al-Fahem, Shafa’amr, Baqah Al-Gharbiyeh, Tarsheeha, Al-Taybeh, Nazareth, Negev and Al-Teireh against the bill, proposed by Knesset member Anastasia Michaeli of rightist Yisrael Beiteinu party.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to bring the bill to a vote by his Cabinet on Sunday after he failed to muster enough support to pass it at a session last week. Explaining his backing for the bill, Netanyahu said there was “no need to be more liberal than Europe,” in an apparent reference to the 2010 Swiss law that forbids mosques from having minarets.
If approved, the new law would ban loudspeakers from all mosques in Israel.

Muzzies can get prayer call apps for their Iphones and it even GPS-points toward Mecca.
Mosque loudspeakers are purely aggressive in nature, just like minarets are for gazing at conquered territory.
Yes.
Had a Muslim co-worker. Visited his house once while working on a project with him. He had a gold clock-type device that would sound the call to prayer at the appropriate hours.
Wow, sounds just like what happened to the Cannanites.
"Do us all a favor. Go be "fair and balanced on some Lavender Agenda thread."
No, I think I'll stay here. You don't like it? - too bad.
But they should.
Israel did the same thing- sacrificed their children in the fire to the god Molech. You have sympathy for it?
"Jews (and hindus and buddhists) were fighting muslims ONE THOUSAND YEARS before America existed."
So were Christians, what's your point? You originally said Israel had more experience and I pointed out America had fought muslims earlier. So you change the subject? Got a bee up you butt over logic today?
"So to be fair and balanced, why don't you insist America do likewise."
Because it's not America's problem, punk. Israel belongs to whoever is strong enough to take and hold it. That's how it's been for at least 3000 years. Whoever that happens to be at any given time really doesn't matter.
Do you always whine like an old woman all the time?
