Islamic Dominance in America and Canada
 
•May 21, 2020
 
In Minneapolis and throughout Canada, the Islamic call to prayer has been announced throughout Ramadan 2020. Some think this is just a matter of religious freedom, but the Adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, stands for anything but freedom.

It is a matter of religious freedom. Don't like it? Change the US Constitution.

God is Great! God is Great! God is Great! God is Great!
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.

Hurry to the prayer. Hurry to the prayer.
Hurry to salvation. Hurry to salvation.
God is Great! God is Great!
There is no god except the One God.

This is no more an expression of "dominance" than is the Apostle's or Nicene Creed or the Shema.

It's not a matter of religious freedom. You don't get to do whatever you want just because it's your religion.
Blasting prayers over loudspeakers five times a day would irritate the hell out of me whatever religion was doing it.

As I have said multiple times, as long as mosques are subject to the same noise ordinances as churches' bells and loud worship music, it is a religious freedom issue. Because Islam is a religion.

Religion wise, Islam is shady at best. There is a very large political component to it, and it has a long history of conquest and oppression that continues to this day.
