Minneapolis—The chant in Arabic blasted from rooftop loudspeakers, drowning out both the growl of traffic from nearby interstates and the chatter and clinking glasses on the patio of the dive bar that shares a wall with Minneapolis’ oldest Somali mosque.(Snip)This spring Minneapolis became the first large city in the United States to allow the Islamic call to prayer, or adhan, to be broadcast publicly by its two dozen mosques.(Snip) As more of them get ready to join Dar Al-Hijrah in doing so, the transforming soundscape is testament to the large and increasingly visible Muslim community, which is greeting the change with both celebration and caution,

I remember when the pealing neighborhood church bells were silenced, as being an affront to atheists.

One of my last consulting gigs was in downtown Mpls. I consulted at Accenture (We code with PowerPoint). Use to go outside and eat my lunch and I was shocked at the women in full Muslim garb! Could only kind of see the eyes! There were hundreds of them and that was 6 years ago! We’ve been invaded by the Hordes!

So, can every Christian church blast out a full choir hymn once an hour?

Re #3, in my small suburban town, a suberb of the KC area, we have a beautiful Catholic Church a few blocks away. We can regularly hear them playing their carillon. It's wonderful, and If there are complaints I will come down on the pro-bell music side, for certain.

Lived in suburban MSP in early 1980s. Despite awful winters thought it was a great place to raise a family. Safe and friendly and not diverse. In one generation liberals have turned it into crap. Would never go back.

Reminds me of the sound of an alley cat fight on the back fence. Just more annoying and shrill.

European migrants came bringing Lutheranism and Catholicism along with farming skills to build a new life. Look what their great-grandchildren have unleashed with unchecked immigration from Muslim hellholes.

I'll bet this has been going on for a lot longer than since this announcement, Minneapolis has finally become Mogadishu, they just haven't changed the name, yet

Every church in Minneapolis needs to add a bell tower that will blare out "Onward Christian Soldiers" at exactly the same time these calls to worship Satan are coming from the local mosques.
I don't know how long it will last, but there still have to be more churches than mosques in this cesspool city!!!!

Nope. No recordings. No Amplification. DO it the old fashioned way. Get up and call it each time with a caller.,

It has to be a planned occupation. If assimilation were the goal they would not have been so densely concentrated.

We lived in the area when the first Somalians arrived in Minnesota. They described them as Christian refugees fleeing a war-torn country. It was soon obvious that only a tiny percentage were Christian - maybe 1 in 100. Before long tens of thousands of Islamic immigrants had flooded the city. Modest working class neighborhoods were quickly overrun and replaced the churches with mosques. Give them another decade and Al Qaeda will be running city hall.

So, the muzzies chose to go from a dry desert climate and temps over a hundred, to temps in the negative numbers with snow. At least they'll be easy to spot in the snow with the cousin it outfits that are all black.

It just sounds like third world. That with the smell of poop and wood smoke completes the background.
As far as Sharia, a separate legal system, it is my contention that Islam is not a religion. Its a political system. That system has laws that are antithetical to the Constitution. I dont believe that Islam has a right to be designated a religion because of that and should be stripped of its benefits.

Didn’t Barry Obama call this the most beautiful sound he ever heard? Wake up, people. This country is in big trouble.

Well, isn't that nice! Church bells however have been forbidden and are only allowed to be a tinkle so that no one wakes up from the drunken or drugged stupor of the previous night!

They hardly need to give another sign that they're here, but go for it while you can. Meanwhile, the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound in the world, according to someone who would be hurled off the roof of a tall building by hardcore adherents while the crowd below ululated their approval.
