A law to muffle mosques’ amplified calls to prayer in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem won preliminary approval on Wednesday in a charged parliamentary session where Arab legislators denounced the measure as racist.
Supporters of the bill say it is aimed at improving the quality of life of people living near mosques who have been losing sleep. The calls usually begin sounding a little before 5 A.M. through loudspeakers mounted on minarets
Opponents say the legislation, sponsored by right-wing parties, impinges on the religious freedom of Israel’s Muslim minority. Arabs make up almost 20 percent of the population and have long complained of discrimination. …

No wonder those Muzzies are crazy. Those stupid calls to prayer over those stupid loudspeakers blast them out of their sleep at 4 o’clock every morning. Then it blasts them again around 5 o’clock in the morning. A few more blasts during the day and then another blast at 9 o’clock at night. The oppression of Sharia Law is Satanic and unfathomable.
A small “obnoxious sound” seeking missile would be a nice muting device.
“The prettiest sound in the world at sunset.”
“Occupied”? Yes, by the legal owners of the land.
The call to prayer is a way for them to assert dominance over an area.
Why can’t they have their own “call to prayer” alarm clocks in their own houses and businesses?
Why do they have to force EVERYONE to listen to that caterwauling every day?
(Rhetorical- I know why...)
This is all a preface to the U.S. embassy move. When Trump visits, no one wants to hear him yell “turn that shit down.”
Minirets, loudspeakers, praying in the streets, clothing styles and the call to prayer are ways in which in which Islam makes it self appear bigger than it really is as a percent of the population.
A friend once told me that the call to prayers sounded like someone yelling after breaking their toe. Hard not to laugh every time I hear it.
I’ve been to Israel twice. And that call to prayer crap over the loud speakers always sent chills down my spine when I heard it. Clearly, it felt demonic.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
Israel moves to mute mosques’ call to prayer over loudspeakers

Yeah, kinda like having to breath second hand smoke. Air pollution, IMO.
Impinging on their religious freedom my eye! I guess asking them not to behead Christians is impinging on their religious freedom too. What remains of the West should declare Islam is not a religion and therefore will not be afforded the usual protections associated with freedom of relegion.
They just need to get anyone who complains an alarm clock. Or two. Problem solved.
Jews, have been equating religion and race forever. Now Israelis are called racists for telling Muslims to turn the damned music down!
What sets Mr. Obama apart is the way his training has been at the grass-roots rather than in the treetops. And that may be the richest kind of background of all, yielding not just experience, but also wisdom. …And no mea culpa for being as wrong as one man could possibly be when it came to the Unvetted One. Nowadays, Kristof pushes the fakenews Russia “collusion” propaganda. Talk about no conscience.
The proper response is to reply with some Iron Rain, sent via 105mm tubes.
An amplified stench in the ear. How charming.
