The City Council of Paterson, New Jersey has approved an ordinance that allows local mosques to publicly broadcast the loud and offensive, super-amplified Muslim call to prayer that can be hard from a 20-block radius.. The ordinance specifically allows for the Muslim call to prayer between the hours of 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. for duration not to exceed five minutes.” AND THEY WILL DO THIS 5 TIMES A DAY, EVERYDAY, BEGINNING AT DAWN!
Clarion Project (h/t Linda R) The ordinance will be subjected to two public hearings before becoming law.
As a Muslim, I think the Muslim call to prayer can sound quite beautiful. I also live by a church and enjoy hearing the church bells everyday at noon. However, there are four key issues that stand out for me on a public Muslim call to prayer:
Below is what this Muslim thinks is “quite beautiful.” See for yourself.
Why is the Muslim call to prayer being pushed?
The Muslim call to prayer ordinance was introduced by Councilman Shahin Khalique. Khalique is up for re-election and this ordinance is one of his campaign promises. He’s also battling a public relations stain for a DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol) arrest in 2010.
What better way to show piety among the community’s 30,000 Muslim community (who attend the city’s 12 mosques) by forcing the entire community to adapt it’s behavior when Khalique couldn’t even control his own.
And of course, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has jumped on the bandwagon in support of the Muslim call to prayer ordinance of Paterson. If it wasn’t enough for CAIR to force faith in schools and politics, they now are edging to blanket an entire community in faith.
Michigan experimented with the Muslim call to prayer. They regretted it.
A public broadcast for a Muslim call to prayer is already in effect in Hamtramck, Michigan with abysmal public reaction. Residents have complained that the call to prayer is too loud. A senior citizen community across from the Ideal Islamic Center in Michigan called the 6 a.m. broadcast simply “overbearing.”
The same reports have come in from residents who live by other mosques. None of this came without accusations from members of the local Muslim community that the complaints were rooted in Islamophobia or hatred against Muslims, or that critics were against Muslims.
It’s that language, “against Muslims” or “against the Muslims,” that I hear so often as a Muslim, and it is deeply frustrating. Citizens in Hamtramck repeatedly asked local mosques to “turn down the volume,” which begs the question: How does this call to prayer impact others? Is it simply too loud?
It is counterproductive to positive community relations, and primes the worst elements in Muslim communities to push for more supremacist ordinances.
Even dogs can’t stand this horrible noise.
“Student of History” explained it best. The call to prayer was developed before clocks and before loudspeakers. Everyone in the world today has access to a timepiece. Everyone in America has a cellphone! It would be quite simple to set an app on one’s cellphone to remind them. Insisting on blasting out the call from a loudspeaker really represents a type of victory over everyone else’s space.
Yep- this is the mooslam way of telling you they’re here and in your face. Even mooslams know what time to attend mosque, without the drama.
American, British, European and other Western leaders are cognizant of the INTENSE MUSLIM HATE for JESUS CHRIST and CHRISTIANS. It’s why NWO Globalist God Hater leaders colonized our nations with Muslims.

European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On, and Torched “Every Day”
In Germany, four separate churches were vandalized and/or torched in March alone. “In this country,” PI-News, a German news site, explained, “there is a creeping war against everything that symbolizes Christianity: attacks on mountain-summit crosses, on sacred statues by the wayside, on churches… and recently also on cemeteries.”
In virtually every instance of church attacks, authorities and media obfuscate the identity of the vandals. In those rare instances when the Muslim (or “migrant”) identity of the destroyers is leaked, the desecraters are then presented as suffering from mental health issues.
“Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators….
Not a word, not even the slightest hint that could in anyway lead to the suspicion of migrants… It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracized, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports.
They are accused of hatred, hate speech and racism.” — PI News, March 24, 2019
In February, vandals desecrated and smashed crosses and statues at Saint-Alain Cathedral in Lavaur, France, and mangled the arms of a statue of a crucified Christ in a mocking manner. In addition, an altar cloth was burned. (Image source: Eutrope/Wikimedia Commons)
Countless churches throughout Western Europe are being vandalized, defecated on, and torched.
In France, two churches are desecrated every day on average. According to PI-News, a German news site, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues) were registered in France in 2018.
This represents a 17% increase compared to the previous year (2017), when 878 attacks were registered — meaning that such attacks are only going from bad to worse.
Among some of the recent desecrations in France, the following took place in just February and March:
Vandals plundered Notre-Dame des Enfants Church in Nîmes and used human excrement to draw a cross there; consecrated bread was found thrown outside among garbage.
The Saint-Nicolas Church in Houilles was vandalized on three separate occasions in February; a 19th century statue of the Virgin Mary, regarded as “irreparable,” was “completely pulverized,” said a clergyman; and a hanging cross was thrown to the floor.
Vandals desecrated and smashed crosses and statues at Saint-Alain Cathedral in Lavaur, and mangled the arms of a statue of a crucified Christ in a mocking manner. In addition, an altar cloth was burned.
Arsonists torched the Church of St. Sulpice in Paris soon after midday mass on Sunday, March 17.
Similar reports are coming out of Germany….
Islamic war cries, victory cries, all need to be banned.

Muslims have 56 Muslim countries where they can enjoy full Sharia. Churches are NEVER ALLOWED to ring church bells in Muslim countries.
NO churches are allowed in Saudi Arabia. Any Bibles found on tourists at the airport, are shredded.
Christians are severely persecuted by Muslims in Muslim countries.
Christians are constantly attacked and slaughtered and their churches burnt down.
Western leaders REWARD Muslims for their MURDEROUS Christian hate by colonizing our nations with Muslims; having them build mosques and declare their supremacy and conquest with ear shattering mosque calls.

5 times a day, everyday. Play Bluegrass music. Sure to make them eat glass.
How do you like us NOW?
People in Sweden did that – blasted the Muslim call to prayer outside politician’s home at dawn on a Sunday. But they got arrested.
Thank you Jesus, that we have the 1st Amendment.
Backed up by the 2nd Amendment.
Molon Labe!
The islam ideology’s call to prayer is actually a euphemism or taqyyia for those who do not follow the ideology. It is a call declaring the entire area which the call to prayer can be heard as territory belonging to followers of the ideology. Thus it is a war cry and a reminder that you have been conqured.
But that followers of the idology (or its leaders) is something they will NOT admit to you until it is too late to do anything about it.
Ah, we need to learn Muslim conventions on naming a place they are taking over! Cities that they are overruning with their superior breeding programs invariably end with “bad” in them, perhaps as a precursor to what is to come. Thus: Islamabad, Abbotabad, Londonobad, etc., It is when the whole nation turns bad, they then rename the nation with a “sthan” suffix – Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan etc., Thus I think it is going to be Pattersonbad for the moment, and a long way before our nation will turn into a “stan”, if ever. Not if we can help it!
Lol. Good point.
Need to add the night shift workers who are trying to sleep during the day.
Simple solution, blow the minaret down with a small bomb….
I think you got CAIR’s attention with that one….
Muslums love bombs.
