Hopefully the Nordic metal heads will blast their "call to prayer" over loudspeakers too.

If it's a public nuisance infringing on many people's peace and comfort then sensible regulations sound much needed.

I'm sure an anti-immigration political party is interested in banning Islamic call to prayer for noise reasons and isn't trying to make a posturing gesture to their base, which brainless idiots will eat up because they now have an excuse to echo.

Needs a little more context imo. If they just recently started doing this in areas where it's traditionally been quiet, then yeah. Business and homeowners in the area didn't invest in those places with the expectation of that noise issue.
If the mosque has been there and blaring the calls for decades, then it would be dumb to start having an issue with it all of the sudden. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont give a toss what human rights provisions say in this case, he said. What I care about is that people get peace and quiet in their neighbourhoods, and that means not being disturbed by the call to prayer.

Whats the problem here? Islam is the one religion that almost gleefully refuses to adapt to the modern age, and sooner rather than later the whole world is going to have to treat them as such.

Nothing wrong here. If my city had Islamic prayers blast over loud speakers 5 times a day I'd be pissed. If they were Christian prayers I'd also be pissed.
I'd say this is a simple sound ordinance issue. --- Don't support the destruction of gaming. Don't buy an Xbox One. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Okay I don't understand a lot about Islam so I am sorry if this seems ignorant...
They aren't banning the actual praying, which would be SUPER fucked up. They are banning the lound sound sounds that you see in movies letting everyone know that it is time to pray? Like a fire siren type thing? Is there some reason they do it that way? Does an alarm on your cell phone not work?
