This spring Minneapolis became the first large city in the United States to allow the Islamic call to prayer to be broadcast publicly on loudspeakers.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The chant in Arabic blasted from rooftop loudspeakers, drowning out both the growl of traffic from nearby interstates and the chatter and clinking glasses on the patio of the dive bar that shares a wall with Minneapolis’ oldest Somali mosque.

Dozens of men in fashionably ripped jeans or impeccably ironed kameez tunics rushed toward the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque. Teens clutched smartphones, and some of the older devout shuffled in with the aid of walkers from the high-rise complex across the street where thousands of Somalis live.

It’s the separation of church and state, not separation of mosque and state.

Minneapolis is just the first large city. Detroit is not far behind. Then NY, specifically Manhattan. Or downtown Manhattan.

I agree.357%.

And that crap carries a long way. It makes dogs howl. One dogs starts to howl and....they all start howling.

There is a bar next door. Maybe some drunks will “object”. lol

The bar should get a Barbecue pit and roast a pig or two every day.

Seriously?? I lived where there were both Shi’a and Sunni mosques going off and still didn’t hear that many adhans in a day, even on a Friday.

How annoying!
