Muslim call to prayer arrives to Minneapolis soundscape

“It’s a sign that we are here,” said Yusuf Abdulle, who directs the Islamic Association of North America, a network of three dozen mostly East African mosques. Half of them are in Minnesota, home to rapidly growing numbers of refugees from war-torn Somalia since the late 1990s.

Ain't nothin'.

Just don't tell me to not drink or eat bacon and we're cool.

Is that like Christian church bells?

Some are now recorded and blasted over speakers.

Somebody in the neighborhood needs to set up a speaker playing the sound of hogs squealing at the same time.

That is all.

How many times do the church bells on a weekly bias?

I am sure there will be some bigots that will not be happy about it.
But as the Lutheran Pastor in the story said, “God is bigger than we know”
I say bring back the church bells everywhere too.
I am not a very religious person, but we really need new things in our lives to overcome all the hate.
Our direct next door neighbors are a Muslim family, they are the nicest neighbors that we could ask for.

Every day.

At least twice a day, in fact, for prayers.

Do they come with mortar attacks like the ones I remember? Yes. Both morning and evening.

Hahaha.

Aren't people upset that the nation is no longer very religious? So this should be fine correct? More active religion in the country. Wouldn't bother me, I hear church bells every day. I am fine hearing a call to prayer.

So the leaders of the mosques are announcing that some Muslims are not able to afford or possibly use a watch or clock? I think that is kind of insulting to the Muslims.

Multicuralism and tolerance.

How shocking.

Tsk.

Guess Christians can't get to church either without bells.

on the hour every hour in my town, no big deal though

I have nothing to add to the discussion, but thought I'd post a cute video that was linked to the Mpls news story.
This little American girl was with her family in Dubai.

I have never been to a church that used bells. Some had them but did not use them.

Church bells, like bell towers in general, are not needed because of watches and clocks. The same reason industrial plants no longer have steam whistles. They are no longer needed to announce the time.

I don't NEED a church period.

Not the point.
