You literally can't make this up. I mean...there just aren't any words whatsoever.


People snicker at my location (Mogadishu), but maybe it's not so laughable, eh?


Meanwhile, Christian churches in Minneapolis have been shuttered.


Nope, nothing to see here.

I don't get what you are objecting to...the fact they are keeping social distancing while practicing their faith.

Churches held parking lot services and streamed services online.

I'm not sure why you are so frustrated by this.

That’s really nice.

Personally, I find the Muslim call to prayer beautiful...soothing.

is that the same thing as adhan/prayer broadcasts using a loudspeaker for a whole city or neighborhood to hear?

Call to prayer is not a call to come to any building.

Fine for you I suppose, but if a predominantly Evangelical area was broadcasting this week's Sunday sermon over the loudspeakers all over town, the sue-crazy atheist crowds would be losing their damn minds.

It's not too much to ask for equal treatment under the law, is it?

There goes the neighborhood. Multiculturalism is a myth.

So are you all equally offended when church bells ring? And before you all call me a godless liberal, I used to ring the bell at church.

The fact that any liberal anywhere would say this is okay, with a,straight face, just goes to show you how detached from reality liberalism now is. Unreal.

I've had to endure both the call to prayer as well as the incessant church bell ringing courtesy of a Catholic church in my travels through life.

I wanted to beat the person responsible for both with a baseball bat.
