The Muslim call to prayer will be broadcast the traditional five times a day in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, beginning with the start of Ramadan this week and continuing through the end of the religious holiday in May.

It will be the first time the call to prayer, commonly broadcast from mosques in Muslim nations, will be heard in Minnesota.

Designed to encourage Muslims to maintain safe distancing during a holiday typically marked by community prayer, the arrangement was approved Tuesday by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, working in collaboration with Minnesota’s Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque. “At a time when physical distancing requires we pray apart, it’s incumbent on leaders to create a sense of togetherness where we can,” said Frey in a news release. “Adhan [the call to prayer] provides solidarity and comfort, both of which are essential during a time of crisis

It will be the first time the call to prayer, commonly broadcast from mosques in Muslim nations, will be heard in Minnesota.

Disgusting noise pollution. Five times a freakin' day.

And it won't be the last time. I visited Minneapolis in 2012 and was horrified at how infested it was (except Target Field). I quickly lost count how many women in hijabs and *full burkas* I saw walking around, surrounded by kids, pushing baby carriages.

First time I've ever seen women wearing full burkas in the United States. And I haven't seen one anywhere else since (and we often go to NYC and Boston).

I fear for Minneapolis, and places like Dearborn and Hamtramck, Mighigan. And when the Muslims outgrow and expand from those areas... then what??

Good old Minnesota. A hot bed of socialist, Muslim treachery as well as lousy governance.

Does Hussein enjoy it blaring into his windows five times a day?? 'Cause that's how it's done.

Oh never mind... he won't have to worry about that while inside his $15 million oceanfront mansion on tony Martha's Vineyard.

I’d say a long distance disabling of an offensive noisemaker is in order.

Yup. They don’t get what that scraggly gurgle scream actually means.

Solution...

Use the NEXTDOOR app, and FB, twitter to gather like minded Christians.

DAILY, post the five Christian songs to be played that day, right after the hellians spew their filth.

At each designated time play each song, whether from your car, or home, windows open, full volume.

Full the city with the praise of Jesus.

Once established, create Website with a calendar and url to the songs so everyone ii playing the same song/version/artist. Maybe opt.in.push emails to those who wish to receive them

Nothing the state can do.
