Muslim Dearborn mayor weighs in on residents' complaints about mosque's call to prayer

[1srelluc]

As a Jew, especially, I don’t want to hear them wailing out praise to Mohammed, who called Jews the offspring of apes and pigs. And least of all at 5:30 a.m.

Dearbornistan gets it five times a day!

Not with eery Islamic wailing broadcast over loudspeakers. At least until now. It’s offensive.

Try traffic, horns, subways, street cleaners, neighbors, etc. and get back with me.

To get over the noise pollution in NYC (which amounts to basically a human scream) They are gonna have to use something akin to an air raid siren.

New York City is notoriously loud, with noise pollution from traffic, industry, people, and local vendors all contributing to the clamour. To combat this, the city enforces a noise code that regulates noise pollution and protects residents' health and comfort. This noise code includes quiet hours from 10 pm to 7 am, during which sounds are limited to 7 decibels above the ambient noise level, and music from commercial venues must not exceed 42 decibels as measured within a nearby residence. Construction, one of the biggest contributors to noise pollution, is also limited to specific hours and days to help curb unwanted noise. These regulations are enforced through local laws, policing, and housing associations, and violations can result in fines ranging from $70 to $400.

I would guess the city council (or how ever it's worked out there) would have to approve.

Yep. Do you think the mayor would have ruled the same if Jews changed the time of their shofar blowing, which is done inside the Synogogue, and instead decided to a) blast it outside, b) amplify via speakers, and c) change the time from mid-day to 3:00 a.m.?

Lisa, living in mortal fear other religions get the privileges she's accustomed to.

I prefer dancing in the middle of the street.

How is that any worse than Church Bells every hour on the hour?

For one church bells aren't verbal praise.

It kinda depends on the Muezzin.

That Muezzin in post #4 sucked. The Meowzin did it better, IMO.

The Islamic call to prayer is verbal BIGOTRY.

Wow, really? This is what you are going with? You don't like "what" they are saying.

I'm an atheist, I find church bells annoying, but I tolerate it because different strokes for different folks.

That’s sounds of any large American city, and fine with me.

That’s NOT the sound of a foreign religion that thinks Jews are offspring of apes and pigs - and flies planes into buildings and murders 3000 Americans.

The whole thing is disgusting. The only thing worse is if your fellow Muslims build a mosque at Ground Zero, symbolizing the Islamic takeover of the city.

Yup. “The prophet who thinks Jews are the offspring of apes and pigs wants you to come to pray!”

No. New York is a city unlike any other. Get out more.

If they were doing that at 5 a.m, broadcasting the Yiddish music over loudspeakers in violation of noise ordinances, I’d object to that as well,

That what I hear people on here say about Muslims, you notwithstanding.

I’ve been to NYC. It USED to be great.

Who here has said Muslims are the offspring of apes ans pigs?

Where on earth did you get the idea I am Muslim?

Okay, now deny it.

Who else would create 50 sock accounts to defend Islam and spread antisemitic lies, Hondo?
