Historic first: Muslim call to prayer blasted in major US city over outdoor speaker 5 times a day
April 25, 2020 | Victor Rantala

In a Minneapolis neighborhood, part of controversial Rep. Ilhan Omar’s district, the Muslim call to prayer is being broadcasted five times a day over outdoor loudspeakers through the month of Ramadan. It is thought to be the first time a public call to prayer is conducted in a major U.S. city.

The Muslim call to prayer echoed for the first time ever throughout a Minneapolis neighbourhood, in what is believed to be the first publicly-broadcast call to prayer in a major US city http://aje.io/hft7c  | #Ramadan


The call to prayer is being issued via an amplified public address system on the rooftop of the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. According to the Sahan Journal, the P.A. system and technical support necessary for the community-wide vocal calls were provided by First Avenue (a famous nightclub and music venue that became a national landmark of sorts after Prince used it as a location for several scenes in the movie “Purple Rain”). The city of Minneapolis issued a noise permit for the calls to prayer that start at sunrise and end at sunset.

The official rationale for the neighborhood-wide call to prayer is so that Muslims can pray together while social distancing.

As long as it complies with the same noise ordinances with which churches' bells and music have to comply, this is protected by the First Amendment's Free Exercise clause.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Yes, it would be nice if the same rules applied to Muslims as to the rest of us, but I wouldn't hold my breath. This tweeter may be right:

We've seen this in various European nations, where the laws of the land suddenly don't apply to Muslim lawbreakers.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
