No surprise she's not aware that "Allah" is the same god of the Old Testament.
Not so. The Muslim Allah and the God of the Old Testament are not the same. Similar sounding, but not the same. A study of the history of the Muslim religion would clearly show that.
As for the call to prayer -- didn't Obama say it's the most beautiful sound on earth? Why shouldn't everyone love hearing it 5 times a day. It sounds like he would.
As for atheists - yes, there are many who lead their lives peacably, but there are those who go looking for a "cause" to challenge and usually it's Christian related. These atheists seem to have it in for Christians.

They are exactly the same. Adam & eve and Noah and Abraham and Isaac and David and whatnot. Both are Abrahamic religions, just deal.

I'd like it. I didn't mind the occasional peal of bells before the church down the street burned down either. It was a nice church. They're building condos there now, and they're not nice at all.
