Minneapolis Becomes First Major US City to Allow Broadcast of 5 Islamic Calls to Prayer

42

The US city of Minneapolis has passed a resolution allowing for the adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, to be broadcast year-round over loudspeakers.  In 2004, Hamtramck, Michigan, became the first city to legalise the public call to prayer, followed by Dearborn, where Muslims are a majority. Accommodation always gives to more demands, more accommodation. Anywhere islamic law and western law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way.

The cacophony kicks off at dawn.

Muslim represent  less than 3% of the population of Minneapolis. Wrap your head around that.

Council member Lisa Goodman said “I am thrilled that my colleagues have brought forward this ordinance change today because what I learn at my temple … is that the importance of interfaith dialog and understanding transcends everything else.” Clearly, Goodman is unaware that Christians and Jews are cursed seventeen times a day in their daily prayers.

Minneapolis City Council votes to allow five muslim calls to prayer

The resolution, which passed unanimously, will allow some previously prohibited morning and evening calls to be broadcast publically.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Minneapolis became the first major city in America to allow the Islamic call to prayer to be broadcast from mosques publicly for each of the five daily prayers after a unanimous vote by the City Council Thursday.

The resolution, authored by Council member Aisha Chughtai, one of three Muslim representatives of the 13-member council, amended the noise violation exemption related to sounds associated with religious worship.

“It is really important for us at the city to approach all issues from a lens of ensuring equal access for all people. And that’s what we’ve really done here. This is an item that benefits people of all faith,” she said just before the vote.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations had helped push for the change, which allowed some morning and evening calls that had previously been prohibited.

“This is a historic victory for religious freedom and pluralism for our entire nation. We thank the members of the Minneapolis City Council for setting this great example, and we urge other cities to follow it,” CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein said in a press release.
