A minaret by the Mediterranean Sea in Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv, Israel, June 3, 2009. Israeli ministers are to vote on Sunday on a bill that seeks the banning of the call to prayers from the loudspeakers of mosques.
Israeli lawmakers are to vote on Sunday on a bill that proposes banning mosques from using public announcement systems to issue the call to prayer for their Muslim followers.
The call to prayer is traditionally announced five times a day through loudspeakers, including once in the early morning. Right-wing sections of Israeli society complain about the noise bellowing into the everyday lives of Jewish communities.
The bill, which will be voted on by the Ministerial Committee on Legislation, seeks to end the announcements as well as "conveying religious or nationalist messages, or even words of incitement " through broadcasts. It is aiming to ban sound systems from all houses of prayer in Israel, but the current and future Israeli Interior Minister would be able to exempt certain houses of prayer from the ban at his or her discretion.

Mad Mo’ certainly didn’t use electric amplification.
Jews should play some Jewish Music at the same times - or even other times
Offensive, plain and simple
Makes good sense. We should definitely do this in USA too. We have lots of laws against disturbing the peace and creating public nuisances and all that, but the use of loud electronically amplified noise=makers in what are often residential neighborhoods... can still be a serious problem especially when done early in morning when you’re trying to SLEEP!
About time. Archaic....Buy a watch. In fact, the whole thing is stupid. What it’s really about is “control”.
remember that Obama says these Muslim “calls to prayer” are the “MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS IN THE WORLD!”

If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Banning incitement? Not fair.
Every terrorist carries a cell phone. Just send out a text.
Obama can have it piped into his little cell until his sentence gets carried out.
It has to be the most disgusting sound in the world!
Call to prayers: Pavlov’s principles of classical conditioning, at it’s best!
Good start, but I'd prefer to see the headline read "Israel To Vote on Banning Mosques".
Everyone knows the muslims invented electricity.
You think by now they would know what time to be there
Yours: “Every terrorist carries a cell phone. Just send out a text.”. Mine: great idea.even better because the islamics’ century phones are rigged to explode
Yes but it’s five times a day. — that exceeds their average iq by at least 3
Israel has its own problems with libidiots, so this vote will be interesting.
