At 2:30 A.M., Jews Blast Shema Prayer at Muslim Neighborhood
Arutz Sheva ^ | 27/7/14 | Gil Ronen

Armed with loudspeakers, they blasted the “Shema” incantation (from the 'Hear O Israel' prayer) in the direction of the Muslim Arab neighborhood of Tzur Baher. They reportedly did so at about 2:30 a.m.

Video of the Jewish counterattack garnered enthusiastic reactions on Facebook.

Jews all over Israel find themselves routinely harassed by noise pollution from Muslim neighborhoods in recent years. This less-known “intifada” by Arabs involves fitting loudspeakers on minarets in mosques – which for centuries made do with unamplified muezzin calls for prayer.

The Jerusalem Municipality reportedly embarked on a process to investigate and limit the noise pollution by local mosques, in January. According to the move, initiated by nationalist Councilman Aryeh King, the prayer call of 200 mosques in the eastern part of Jerusalem will be measured to see if the decibel level violates the law.

King made the fight against Muslim noise pollution a priority when he was elected last November. At the time he stated "just like it's forbidden for us (Jews) to make loud noises after 12 at night it will be forbidden for them."

200,000 shekels have reportedly been allocated for the pilot program, in which the volume of the prayer calls emanating from two mosques in the south of the city will be measured. Mosques that disturb the public peace with their amplified prayer call will be put on a "black list" by the city.

Mosques on the list will be ordered to turn their loudspeakers to face the center of the Arab neighborhoods and villages, to try and prevent disturbances to the rest of the city. ....

The Moslems use a recording for the early call to prayer. My brother and his unit in the IDF once scaled the mineral and replaced it with some heavy metal. They were less than pleased. :>)

Let’s not forget Ray Stevens’ Greatest Hits, including Everything is Beautiful and GuiTarzan with his Guitar Band.

I think Ray Stevens “the streak” could safely be added to the rest.

It could kick off at the Ground Zero Mosque in lower Manhattan. Just a sound car going by there, blasting away five times a day whenever their muazzin does his thing.

Guarantee Muslim compete amongst themselves over amping their loud speakers. You won’t hear about that though.

AC/DC has 2 that are particularly appropriate: “Hell’s Bells” and “ Highway to Hell.”

Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” wouldn’t be bad, either.

Of course, one could always revert to simply playing The Beatles “Revolution” on a continuous loop. I believe that they’ll go nuts with that one after no more than 4 or 5 repetitions...and don’t ask me how I know, just trust me on that.

I hear that every time I am in Hebron near the Cave of the Patriarchs. It is no surprise that they are doing that all over, though.

Staying anywhere near Dearbourne, MI? It’ll require guile, stealth, planning, lots of friends, plus some bullhorns. Heheheheh. One of my fondest ideas, this all.

From Gunga Din: Now, kill for your father was killed before you. Kill, lest you be killed yourself. Kill for the love of Kali! Kill for the love of killing! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Put one death cult in conflict with another. They’ll go out looking for Thuggists to avenge the sacrilege on, only there ain’t no more, just as one day there will be no more Moose Limbs.
