The same people here and in American society in general who absolutely detest Christianity seem to really bend over backwards for Islam.
It's cu(kery at its worst, imo.
You're imagining what other people are thinking Kav. If you want to know what someone thinks you'll have to ask them. That's one of the problems I have with a friend of mine. He likes to give me my opinion so he can tell me what's wrong with it. I just let him argue with himself.
That's not mentally healthy tho.

Maybe you don't live near a Mosque because it isn't a weekend a summer, it is 5 times a day. At least thats what they do here. I live with it it. The Mosque was here before me. I wasn't aware of it or I would not have bout land here. I have learned to tune it out for the most part.
I live in the sticks kinda. There's a bar that is a mile walk to and a three-mile walk back from that has the outside band.
But it's OK for atheists to have to listen to church bells, right? For the past 200 years.
Im an agnostic and Sunday Church bells is not the same as 5 times a day call to prayer. Nor are church bells a language. Lets compare apples to apples.
If those christian churches were reading the Lord's Prayer over loud a speaker you would have an absolutely valid point.
Would you be so open minded to someone blasting Grunge Rock or Bluegrass from the 40's, 5 times a day?
Would you be so open minded to someone blasting Rush Limbaugh 5 times a day?
No you wouldn't and I wouldn't blame you either.
Edit. I changed atheist to agnostic. I don't believe in organized religions

There is truth in what you say. Many are rabidly opposed to anything to do with the church, but delight in bending low for muslims and making excuses for them. It's called being a hypocrite.
I am agnostic. I don't want religion, any religion involved in government, but I don't oppose people having their faith. Just don't try to force it on me.
Call to prayer that is heard for miles? Yeah that is pushing it on others, by forcing them to contend with it.

I don't think you are either. Seriously, you couldn't stay in character for 5 minutes.

Yeah I lived in the sticks in place just like that. We had 2 bars. 1 was a 1.7 mile brutal up hill walk home and the other 2 miles brutal either way.
One had an annual turkey shoot fund raiser, usually for a local family who needed help. Shooting started at 1 pm and ended by 5. A lot of swing shifters in the area, so they let you sleep a while.
The other had Sunday fireman chicken BBQ. Proceeds went to the local volunteer Fire dept.

Well more of an agnostic. I detest organized religions for what they are. Tools to control the masses. Atheists are pretty much a religion in and of themselves. The anti-religion religion.
If I had to pick a religion I detest most? Islam hands down no contest. Nest would be any of the southern you got slayed while speaking in tongues types.
I haven't stepped foot in a church since the 80's and that was for weddings.
I do vist Buddhist temples, they are beautiful and Buddhists don't try to force their crap on you. Well most don't.

I describe myself as an agnostic atheist. Atheist just means you haven't been convinced there is a diety. You don't have to state there isn't one to be an atheist. Agnostic added to the atheist because I don't believe we have enough evidence either way. I just lean heavily toward there not being a diety. Sometimes I like to call myself a poly-atheist because I believe there is not sufficient proof for multiple gods instead of the one true likely nonexistent God.
I like Islamic extremists even less than I like Christain extremists. They're all so rapey; blaming women for sexual assault.
