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.

Drive through the neighborhoods thumping during the call to prayer.


Liberalism, giving away the country one piece at a time.

if you kill in the name of religion, does it matter in what manner it is done? If they were shooting all of their victims, would that tickle your fancy more?

beheading, especially when done publicly and the way Nick Berg was killed, are more designed to instill fear and terror. It works. I would much rather have my brains blown out than to have my head sawed off with a rusty dull knife.

With that logic they shouldn't have to pay taxes either.

So anyone who doesn't pay taxes shouldn't get to vote? Or more importantly, anyone can opt out of paying taxes if they don't vote.
To the best of my knowledge, not a single refugee has been forced to stay (other than some who've broken the law and are imprisoned,) and most have taken full advantage of the benefits of the US including benefits that tax paying, US born citizens are not provided.

Yall are worried about a bunch of nothing. With America's easy access to bacon, bbq, and ribs, those muzzies will all be eating Pork in 2 generations. America will convert them; not the other way around.

When some boys from Chitown show up disturbing the prayer time, what do you think will happen, and who do you think the court in MN will side with?

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?

School bells do the same thing but neither a school bell, church bell, or door bell have actual words that are religious in context.

If this was a baptist church trying to kick out their message via a loud speaker you would be up in arms and upset.

There have been Churches in Knoxville served noise protests, because on Sunday morning the neighbors could hear the singing....not the band or the preaching, but the singing.....most of the complaints of course are coming from someone who's hoping the Church will overpay for their house.

Lol.

You arent a lawyer.

Anyways, I am 100 percent for free speech but if you libs are gonna give it to muslims then dont try to take it away from Christians.

That's the issue!

How you couldn't reach that over arching theme shows there is no way in hell you scored high enough on the lsat to get into any law school worth a damn.

I find it so damn amusing that the self professed lawyers on here are the ones most lacking in critical thinking.

Same ones cheering this were also cheering preachers getting arrested for holding Easter services. Libs/socialists take every opportunity to defend muslims and bash Christians.

Did they also obtain a permit from the city prior to the noise?

As I recall the police that showed up indicated the ordinance was only based on a time slot, which the Church was within. And yes the Church was properly approved for occupancy as a Church.
