Not at all. A call to pray to God is a call to pray to God, and is worthy of support and respect. A call to bomb a synagogue or to commit murder is something else entirely.

Are you seriously saying that any call to prayer is a call to pray to God (being presumed to mean the greatest being, the creater of all matter in the universe, the origin of all life that we know)? Are you actually saying that there is not any possibility that someone somewhere would not call people to pray to, say, my cat or your desk chair, or even a fallen angel who has sworn to defeat God in any way he can (not that he can, but he wants to)? Are you actually saying that all people who worship anything are worshipping the one and only omnipotent God?

Please understand, I am honestly not trying to make fun of you with this post. This is a serious and honest question. If you answered the questions in the first paragraph with a yes, then the only 2 possibilities that come to my limited imagination are that you either do not believe there is any such a person as a creator, or you believe that all such a Person would ever want is sincerity, no matter the outward appearance of that sincerity. If you are one of these or something else entirely, I would appreciate it if you would let me know so I can quit wasting your time with discussion that is totally irrelevant for you.
