Don’t get me wrong....the actual act doesn’t bother me one bit. I’m strictly arguing consistency across all populations.

Hard to argue consistency when a Christian church in the same city hasn't asked to do the same. If they do and are denied, you have an argument.

I agree to a certain extent. There are certainly differences though. Bells are a sound that represents something. There is no actual content to the actual ringing. The Muslim call to prayer are actual words being broadcast:

“God is Great! God is Great! God is Great! God is Great!
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
Hurry to the prayer. Hurry to the prayer.
Hurry to salvation. Hurry to salvation.
God is Great! God is Great!
There is no god except the One God.”

There is no way any special permission to noise ordinances would be granted to Christian churches to replace their bells with similar words.

Anyone who compares that prayer to a church bell has never actually heard it in person or is a hypocrite

A church bell in the Christian tradition is a bell which is rung in a church for a variety of ceremonial purposes, and can be heard outside the building. Traditionally they are used to call worshippers to the church for a communal service, and to announce times of daily prayer, called the canonical hours.


So are you guys upset about church bells too?

Because Muslim-Americans must observe social distancing like the rest of us, the city of Minneapolis has allowed those living in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood to broadcast the call to prayer five times a day from the rooftop of a mosque throughout the month of Ramadan. In this way, “Muslims can pray together while social distancing.”

Jaylani Hussein, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) issued a statement which said, “Tonight’s historic call to prayer in Minneapolis will bring comfort and remind the faithful and the neighborhood that as we are physically distant we can still be connected to our faith and mosque.”

Al Jazeera reports, “The Muslim call to prayer echoed for the first time ever throughout a Minneapolis neighborhood, in what is believed to be the first publicly-broadcast call to prayer in a major US city.”
​
The call to prayer is being issued via an amplified public address system on the rooftop of the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood,” reports the BizPacReview. “According to the Sahan Journal, the P.A. system and technical support necessary for the community-wide vocal calls were provided by First Avenue (a famous nightclub and music venue that became a national landmark of sorts after Prince used it as a location for several scenes in the movie “Purple Rain”). The city of Minneapolis issued a noise permit for the calls to prayer that start at sunrise and end at sunset.”


BizPacReview explains that “Cedar-Riverside is a neighborhood that in recent years has become one of the most densely populated areas of Islamic immigrants in the country, principally coming from Somalia and Ethiopia. It was in that neighborhood that two years ago, a group of Muslims was reported to be patrolling the area, confronting people who were not following tenets of Sharia law…Locals have for years called the area “Little Mogadishu” and it is known to have been a recruiting ground for Islamic terrorists.”


Given that many local governments wouldn’t allow Christians to sit in their closed vehicles to listen to services on Easter Sunday, I’m feeling just a little bit “triggered” by this. Perhaps we went about it in the wrong way. We should have just blasted our services over loudspeakers from the rooftops of churches.

Geezus, don't Muslims wear a watch or check their phone so they can tell the time of day to pray?
Do they really need that god awful sound blaring 5 times a day to tell them it's time to pray now.

I really don't see the big deal here. Some of you have gone overboard on Muslim hate IMO. Freedom of religion is a Constitutional right. And this is happening in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, not all over America. The city has okayed it so they are not breaking any laws.

Don't be offended just to be offended.

I think it's the proverbial "give an inch, they take a mile."

The city has ok'ed it because it's ran by a bunch of America hating politicians. The next thing is if you allow this to blare through a city you're going to have to allow anything that anyone wants to blare through the city which they won't allow. Just inviting lawsuits IMO.

I disagree. If anyone in the actual area has an actual problem with it, they should take it up with their local government. And one city doing it doesn't mean all cities have to do it. And how you feel about their religion shouldn't hamper them from practicing it, and the same is true in reverse. The 1A allows for freedom of religion. Just as the 2A protects gun rights. We don't pick and choose what amendments to follow.

It's a flip flop scenario of lawsuits from both sides coming.


A city being sued for not allowing it to be broadcast from a mosque.


A city being sued for them not allowing group A-Z to play something loud across the city while allowing a mosque to do so.


Again, just looking ahead what I see coming IMO.

If so, the courts will decide by interpreting the Constitution. I still don't see it as a big deal.

I have an idea... let's just 86 church bells, calls to prayer, and everyone can play either in the privacy of their own homes if they want/need to hear them so badly.

But churches can’t have services? But I can’t play my music loud in my car? Out of my house? The great awakening is occurring, and most Americans are watching.

Just remember, Muslims are very patient when it comes to taking over a country. They can wait decades, as they infiltrate with more and more to come in or born here.

And when you give an inch like Minnesota has to them, then the next is a mile, then two miles, then this sharia law starts becoming a bigger issue. They might’ve just opened a small crack through the door.

This is sound coming from a speaker not sharia law. Good grief

Ok, then the next officer that pulls me over for sound coming out of my speakers in my car, then I’ll remind them of what’s is happening in Minnesota. It’s just a speaker out of my car, not sharia law.

As long at it complies with local statutes you may have a case. Still nothing to do with your sharia law strawman
