[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]

Poor crowded neighborhoods already have tons of noise at all hours of the day.  Sirens, thumping car stereos, couple arguing, music blasting...why would this be the deal breaker?  Unless it's the religious aspect?[/quote]
