Minneapolis neighborhood will hear Muslim call to prayer during Ramadan (Jesus, vs)

[Toyman at Jewel Lake]

Feel sorry for the people in the area. I spend a couple weeks in a Muslim craphole for work many years ago. That horrid screeching is beyond annoying (worse than listening to Bernie Sanders!). And if I recall, that noise starts around 5 in the morning. If you want to listen to that crap, set up some alarms on your phone to play it.

Hopefully some enterprising souls can hook up a good stereo and play some good death metal to drown it out. Or maybe some bikers can fire up their Harleys and play some decent "music".

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

It kinda is. I mean - not as in "great joke" laughable, or "sharp wit" laughable. More like "cute try" laughable.

Meanwhile, Christian churches in Minneapolis have been shuttered.

I suspect they can still ring church bells, yes?

I live a block from a huge catholic church. if the church rings that bell then they will be in violation of city noise ordinance

That is exactly what the Muslims are asking for. Church bells, you've heard of them?

That would be great.



Liberals here equating church bells with this is beyond insane. Comparing apples to...waste, I guess. What is it liberals call that? "Gaslighting"? "Whataboutism"?

Come on, present an argument. You can do it.

Religious institution rings a bell several times a day vs. religious institution playing a prayer several times a day is materially different because.... reasons?

So this is for one month, at the appropriate sound level for city ordinances, and there are muslims living in the neighborhood within earshot.

I don't see why this is so horrible given those conditions. Christian churches ring bells and some spew out carillon versions of hymns in the middle of the day. There are likely some Christians who live nearby as well and maybe a few will also offer a hopeful prayer once in a while. It is the same God, after all.

[Kavalier]

Bells don't pray to God or tell people how to pray.



Gaslighting...you lefties just love using it. More Saul Alinsky nonsense.

Once you hate someone, everything they do is offensive.
