But anyways, the very small amount of blacks in my state in the 60s were treated fine. People from the Deep South I suppose can speak for themselves.
Really? In the 60s? Black people in your state back then protested repeatedly against discrimination in general and particularly by police.

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'm at a loss. What exactly is your objection to this.

Same. I spent time in Makassar, Indonesia and really got used to hearing Azan.

It’s not enough that the city isn’t paying for it. It shouldn’t be allowed because no religion should be in the public square.
Bring it up as a noise ordinance violation then. However religion in the public square is protected speech- unless you don't like the Constitution that is.

Churches should be ringing their bells hourly and loudly.

It is for this atheist - I'm not losing sleep over a musical non prayer call to churches or mosques, but if I had to listen to broadcast christian prayers, against my will, I'd have no compunction firebombing the offending church.

Most Americans don't even view a church bell as religious. Islam playing over loudspeakers at 4am?...followed 4 more times?? LUNACY.

Sounds like cats in heat, or nails on a chalk board.
