Yes that can be a lil annoying lol but i think everyone gets used to it. When i was back home , i think i had more of an issue with the damn rooster next door waking me up then the calls coming from the Mosques.

Because that is why the country was founded.

And are Muslims EVER grateful to us for giving them so much room to do things here that they would likely be restricted from or even barred from doing in their home countries? Very rarely if ever. Mostly its the more you give, the more they demand and the more they take.

And again its interesting how this type of public religious display would never be allowed in an Islamic state for Christians, Catholics etc, but since its America, we MUST allow it and adapt to it or else we're Islamophobes. >_>

And also if Muslims are trying to get people to believe they're peaceful and non-threatening and only want to be your friends, this NOT the way to do it. Muslims keep doing crap like this all over the place and then they wonder why so many people hate them and their religion. WELL THIS IS WHY!
American Muslims should be grateful to Americans because non-Muslim Americans "allow" them to live and practice their faith in the US? Do you think the US should put restrictions on American Muslims?

Why lookie, lookie, Jews parading in Brooklyn with religious symbols!!

Jewish Pride Parade in Brooklyn where streets were closed:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt4rPkn45yk

How about Jews blocking Fifth Avenue in NYC celebrating Israel Day Parade?

Should we stop the St Patrick's Day Parade on Fifth Avenue in NYC?

Should Jews and Catholics be "grateful" to Americans because they can celebrate in the streets?

Why makes you think Muslims want to be your friend and everyone else's friend?

Maybe you should move to Israel where you will be more comfortable and in your element.

How is praying showing aggression or being non-peaceful?

Why don't you take a step back and look at your own hatred for people of a different religion?

If you're going say it, say it correctly: No religious displays on taxpayer funded property, which means no cross on the courthouse lawn or in public parks or in public schools. You can throw up a cross in your front yard, if you like, or in front of your church - and no one will stop you.

As for the Muslim family praying atop the ESB, if they were not blocking traffic on the observation deck AND they were not violating any EBS policies, then they should have been left alone.

Oh gimme a break. These folks are trying to get a lawsuit going. They should have been left alone??? They should have been tossed like they were. Go pray at home or in your church.........isn't that what liberals always scream? Oh but they defend muslims to do what they want. Now why is that anyway?

I defend anyone on their right to simply pray when they want to. I don't think you really disagree.
