A hard-fought, passionate, seven-year battle to keep an intrusive, noisy mosque out of an historic New Jersey town has gone down in flames (thanks to the Obama Regime)

You can dress it up to look like a private residence, but there’s no disguising a mosque in the neighborhood, with parking all over the streets, eardrum-shattering calls to prayer five times a day, not to mention the tanking of nearby property values because nobody but Muslims will want to buy houses there. (Note: BNI is mentioned here)

The Guardian  A bitter legal row over a mosque in an affluent New Jersey town shows the new face of Islamophobia justifiable anti-Islam sentiment in the age of Trump.

Forty years ago, Mohammad Ali Chaudry, a Pakistani-born Muslim, made his home outside New York City in Basking Ridge, NJ. Basking Ridge is out in horse country, an area of rolling green hills and white-steepled churches, not far from Bedminster, where Donald Trump has his summer estate.

Are churchbells "noisy and intrusive" and "eardrum shattering"?

No, and I say that as a non-religious person. Church bells merely beckon.

Also, those calls for morning prayers can be loud and from what I understand, 5 AM in the morning from those Mosques, versus, when one hears Church bells, often welcomed. Often at the noon hour, maybe at 6 pm, maybe some time in the morning.

But hey, if it serves one to "lump" all religions together, we know who that serves.

I'll bet there is a bit of a history with bells as well, as serving the community to tell what the time was before watches and clocks were common. Do municipal buildings have their own bells in somewhere?

It's always been said, if one can hear some bells from some church or other building over in London, that is where the Cockneys live.

Leave it to the Christian-haters to bring some things up.

Scum sucking Muzzy trash.

I haven't heard church bells in twenty years.

Clearly you've never been awoken by or had anything you were doing inside or outside your home interrupted by the ear splitting Muslim call to prayer 5 times a day.

How often are you near a church?

Christmas and Easter just like all good Catholics.  Why do you ask?

All the time. I am close enough to town that I should be able to hear them all... and there's a big church less than a quarter mile from my cabin.

We don't have church bells. County ordinance, I'd reckon.

Interesting. I'll occasionally notice some (and probably don't notice some) here in New York. I wouldn't call them obtrusive.

Oh, I wouldn't call them intrusive either... Quaint, nostalgic, beautiful... My brother was down in New Orleans and called me on a Sunday morning just to hear the pealing church bells.  I miss it.

And, btw, I am a sabbatarian, and doctrinally against any Sunday sabbath. But I miss them all the same, and was never offended.

But apparently there was a law suit, I remember it being some time before the 10 Commandments were torn down in front of the courthouse. A damn crying shame (on both counts).

Reminds me of an old Red Skelton Joke:

" Early one morning, it was a beautiful day.
I sat down and waited for the bus.
The sky was blue, the birds were singing, church bells were ringing.
I asked the man sitting next to me, "Aren't the church bells lovely?"
The man said "what?"
I said "Aren't the church bells lovely?"
The man said "come again?"
I said, "Aren't the church bells lovely?"
The man said, "I'm sorry mister, I can't hear a word you're saying, with these damned church bells going off".

...or something to that effect.
