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.

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

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.

is everything about you?

Ain't nothin'.

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

Problem is that the 'other way around ' is not happening . How many churches/Christians are accepted in Saudi Arabia ? This one sided hypocrisy is a problem. Especially with increasing world wide tensions.

Nice, I’ll open a Christian church in Jalalabad and ring the, bells every Sunday.

Post history determined that this is a lie.

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

Every day.

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

What country do you live in ?
Or , which century ?
I am an old geezer and have yet to here my first church bell .
In the US , that is .

Oh I know.

They're intolerant as #.

But just because assholes are anti-freedom, doesn't mean we should kick them out of the country.

If we did that, the DNC would have to relocate in Canada.

In the Netherlands , especially in smaller villages, it's normal.

Nope, don't want it and hope someone tears it down.

It IS rather odd that most average libs would cluck cluck over church bells, but are fine and encouraging towards Islamic sound and mind pollution. At least the conservatives are usually less hypocritical in their ignorant hatreds.

I admit that the call to prayer is usually lovely sounding and adds an exotic quality that much of the Midwest lacks... though it will likley spur PTSD in local war vets.

I belong to the Church of Sick Techno Beats and Selfishness ... and spread my sonic gospel to my neighbors whenever.

Guess we're not so "commie" after all, are we?


Although I do not practice Islam, I do find their call to prayer hauntingly beautiful.

And although I do not pray, I appreciate a daily reminder to stop and reflect on my life "in the moment"; a daily "sit rep", if you will.

I feel sorry for Minneapolis. Who wants to listen to that wailing.

Not 5 times of day. Every day.

Is that like Christian church bells?

Some are now recorded and blasted over speakers.

Yeah... but maybe you weren't aware there is a difference between some bells for an hour or so on Sunday, and blaring nasty sounds every hour on the hour 24/7.

Gag me... but to each their own...

Then buy yourself a good bluetooth earpiece and use an app to remind yourself as much as you like.

Sorry, but you don't have the right to force your 'hauntingly beautiful' sounds on everyone else.

Is nothing beautiful on the calls to oppression and force religion, is nothing beautiful about Islam, it never has been specially when it comes their views of women, this does not belong within US constitutional laws.

Another push to the destruction of the US and what it stand for.

I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear.

I am aware.

If you're gonna have freedom of religion for one religion -- you need to have it for all.

Let me know when the bells stop ringing for Christian churches.

Extremism at its finest.

And that is what Islam is, do not be fooled about the "moderates" Islam is a lie and a fallacy, just to get Americans to trust their radicalism.
