When my local church rings the bell five times, I know it is time to go home. Do the Islamic calls serve the same purpose?
No? Oh, then I'm not interested.
They should both be banned
Okay twitter clamn down. Have some oranges and nuts :) Here also some Glühwein
LOL at these fucks that don't even live in the USA being paid to troll Americans and sew division.
Come to Dearborn if you want to hear the call to prayer and while you are at it, stop your fucking crying "RussianResponse 47"
Either is fucking annoying. I don’t want to listen to your religious bullshit. Keep it inside the building.
agreed, as long as we aren't using "noise pollution" to go against a specific minority.
I live next to a Mosque in Europe. The call to prayer is super chill and notably less invasive than church bells.
Church bells cut through double glazing. Call to prayer does not.
Idk, bells sounding the hour are basically like any clock to me (I like clocks so I'm biased). Spoken prayer over a loud speaker is much more invasive imo.
Sounds like you never lived next to a church that will ring their whole bell Assembly for half an hour at a time every Sunday and holiday
The clocks rings are just a extra service. The main reason churches have bells is too tell everyone to move their asses to church
Lived a block away from a Catholic church for several years. Bells did not ring for half an hour, but I do remember them ringing a little longer for some holidays.
I guess other Catholic churches handle it differently?
Might have been a bit of a hyperbole, but I've had them go on for at least 15min when I was living near one. And especially when you want to sleep on a Sunday, it feels a lot longer
yeah, but that's different, because catholics are white, and muslims are brown. So it's completely different.
Arabic is scary :(
/s
Especially the way they write numbers.. Eww
Did you hear that Mandani supports teaching Arabic numerals in elementary schools!?
The difference is that some mosques use some shitty ass loud speaker and the guy doing the call can't hold a note. Like it's fine if they only do it once a week but a daily call is just way too much. Like church bells are annoying too but at least the sound is way more pleasant. Seriously if Muslims in the west want to be more accepted they need to take into account that they live in a non-Muslim majority country and non-muslims do not need the call to prayer and many find it annoying as hell. Acceptance and tolerance is a two way street, can't just force other people to accept your traditions if you aren't willing to accommodate to their traditions too. Like even many churches in my western country have stopped ringing the bells frequently.
Yeah and the morning call to prayer can be a bit much when you're trying to sleep in.
It feels like it should be possible to have an app on your phone that will make the all of the religious sounds you need to hear, so not sure why it needs to be blasted throughout a neighbourhood. In the past when people had no way of knowing when it was time to go to the Mosque, having a sound everyone in a town could hear made sense, but you really don't need to wake up the entire neighbourhood at 6am to let a small number of people in that community know it's time to pray.
Seriously if Muslims in the west want to be more accepted they need to take into account that they live in a non-Muslim majority country and non-muslims do not need the call to prayer and many find it annoying as hell.
Something related and complex is that in turkey, the call to prayer used to be in turkish.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_adhan
Now, the theological arguments on this are very complex (all Qurans must have the original arabic in order to stop arguments over translation, etc), but it would be interesting to hear the call to prayer in english.
I now deeply want to hear the call to prayer sung in English in a heavy Minnesotan accent. Any accent really. LA, Texan, Georgian (state, not country; you know what, either).
Fajr is too damn early!
Also I lived down the street from this. It's not even that loud. I never heard it when I was living there.
Oh, also Minneapolis never burned to the ground. Like right wing people think.
None of the US cities are anything like what they've been led to believe.
