[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the call to prayer is one of the loveliest sounds out there. It's not like it's a honking horn. [/quote]

I feel like this is something that many people will say is lovely because they don’t actually live by a mosque and never will. I think it’s lovely as well when I occasionally hear it. But not if I were forced to hear it 35 times a WEEK. It isn’t going to sound so lovely at 5:30 in the morning. This is going to be a problem in poor crowded neighborhoods when a mosque opens. And just wait until a religious group that is opposed starts blaring music some people find offensive an hour a day. It’s not hard to imagine an evangelical group doing this or a group like the Satanic temple (they opening after school clubs just to oppose the evangelical good news club.)[/quote]

An evangelical church isn't going to blare music. They may ring their church bells. Beautiful music for the day! [/quote]

Until a rabid evangelical who wants to save souls starts blasting Christian music to drown out the Muslim call to prayer. and a Satanic church starts blasting Black Sabbath. The new law has NO maximum decibel level that is mentioned. They now have that right 6 minutes every hour for up to 60 minutes a day.  So does every religion. There are apps and receivers that can be placed in believers houses that can transmit the call to prayer. Noise pollution is awful. [/quote]
