Rapid Response 47 is another Trump white alt spewing racist shit
It's different because it's not a bell, and it's not white people making the noise. Stupid question.

Personally I think church bells are really annoying too and I'm super glad I live somewhere where they don't do that regularly.
I hate both, just shut up.
Agree, they can broadcast of a community radio channel or use an app.

I hear that Muslims think that anyone that is not blessed in their religion, even infants, will go to hell. They have a single religious leader that has absolute control over their theocratic state and has influence over leaders from around the world (historically, even power over them). They have a history of holy wars, torture of those of other faith, and holding back any knowledge and scientific progress that challenges their doctrine. They adorn their holy places with devices of torture and execution. And they practice ritualistic cannibalism of a holy man regularly, even feeding it to their children.
Oh sorry... that's Catholics.
Only some of that is true. Protestants are the ones who think everyone else is definitely hellbound, Catholics believe there's reasonable hope for the salvation of non-believers and the pope they started the year with stirred controversy by saying he personally liked to think hell is empty. Also the Vatican is technically under absolute papal control, but a) it's a square mile in the capital of another country, and b) it doesn't have a military. They can't really do anything with their absolute control except provide sanctuary. Now, I'm not going to act like their sanctuary is uncontroversial, they hid both fascists and their victims, and they do continue to hide their pedos there sometimes, but it's not like they have secret police disappearing people or citizens with no other allegiances, it's the only country you can't be born a citizen of.
The point wasn't to shit on Catholics. It was meant to demonstrate and mock how framing otherwise basically true facts in a certain way can turn what would otherwise be considered "normal" church history and religious activity into something more menacing. This is often used to vilify non-normalized religions, cultures, etc.

I'm not religious but I've lived near both and the Muslim call to prayer is sooooooo much worse. Not even just the frequency but the call itself - the first time it went off, I muted my music thinking it was some kind of ominous warning. I mean no offense but it sounds like pained wailing.
The bells are quite pleasant imo. But now I live by a Jewish temple and there's no sound, I like that the most
Yeah, I agree with the poster that it's hypocritical - but you do not want to live nearby any of the mosques that blast daily prayers.
They're long, they're loud, they go five times a day (prior to dawn, start of work day, after work day, and late evening prior to sleep).. and I'm sure they all buy their loudspeakers from the same place that supplies cheap drive-thrus.

Cool I wish we had a neighborhood like that. I really appreciate other people’s cultures
i think in this particular case it's not much different, but generally the muezzin calls five times each day plus a sixth bonus time on fridays for the jumu'ah. this can be even more annoying than the christian stupid sunday morning bell, when everyone is still hungover; that is, if they actually do it from the minaret, but they can also use messengers, radio, etc.
