And are you equating the call to prayer to hate speech?
I equate anyone who supports belief systems that boasts of eternal suffering for non believers (or even people who dare to believe differently) to Nazis.
It's absolutely hate speech, and if I was ever to hear it in my home, against my wishes, I would see it as an act of aggression that justifies force.

The call to prayer is just advertising for the hate system.
Whoever refuses to turn the hate speech off.
I’ve got to agree with this. After I learned that this is not merely a call to prayer, but an actual Muslim prayer praising their prophet Muhammed, I did a little research. He was a hater and a bigot (also a pedophile, it seems), who said G-d cursed the Jews and turned them into apes and rats. That’s not very nice. I also believe that he prohibited Christians from ringing their church bells, because he didn’t allow for any other religion, but I need to do more research there.
So why should Christians and Jews, who also live in Omar’s district, be forced to listen to a prayer praising such a man, and what he stood for? If the Muslims want to pray to him in the privacy of their mosques, OK....but they shouldn’t be forcing people of other religions to listen to it.
It’s not the same thing as pretty bells that have no words.
Bottom line is that you're a bully, and believe by extension of your support of this, that any public place at any time, is open season for broadcasting specific religious doctrine to people who don't want to hear it. Your idea of religious freedom, favours the right to spread a message, over the right to not hear it.
From where I'm sitting, the bully is the one wants to selectively shut other people up - not the one who wants to spread his message. Particularly a message that's welcome and popular in the community.

There’s supposed to be separation of church and state. In this case, the local council exempted Muslims from noise ordinances so they could blast Muslim doctrine at a high decibel level throughout public streets. Even at 5 a.m.!
