Israel: Muslims enraged at bill to muffle early-morning Muslim call to prayer

Nov 15, 2016 8:04 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Islamic supremacists have a sense of entitlement. Any opposition to their way is deemed either “Islamophobic,” racist, hateful, not inclusive or anti-peace. But notice that they generally stand unique in levying such charges. Amnon Be’eri-Sulitzeanu, co-executive director of the Abraham Fund coexistence group, declares about the justified “muezzin bill”:

“Relations between Jews and Arabs in mixed areas and cities need dialogue and inclusive policies, and issues of friction cannot be solved by legislation that will hurt the fabric of relations between [different] groups.”

So why are the Muslims in this area not bothered about awakening children and other citizens at 4am with their call to prayer, especially when claiming their religion to be a religion of peace? Why do they not demonstrate inclusiveness and initiate dialogue, as they accuse others of not doing? The answers are obvious.

Orange, who has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years, said the problem has intensified in the last five years after new mosques were built in the nearby Beit Hanina and Shuafat both on the top of hill crests and in valleys, creating an echo that magnifies the noise.

Congratulations to Israel for being truly diverse and inclusive, and considering the well-being of everyone involved by quieting the noisy call to prayer. Yet as always, it is the “right-wingers” who are demonized for solving the problem:

The problem could also be resolved through dialogue and agreement, but all the right-wing wants to do is create a provocation.

If anyone knows of a church, synagogue or other place of worship that wakes up the neighborhood 4am, a letter of disapproval is in order.

“Israeli bill to muffle Muslim call to prayer stokes tempers on all sides”, by Jeremy Sharon, Jerusalem Post, November 14, 2016:

Following Sunday’s approval of the “muezzin bill” for a preliminary reading, activists on both sides of the dispute have spoken out.

Arye Orange of Pisgat Ze’ev in northern Jerusalem has been campaigning for relief from what he describes as an “unbearable disturbance and an injustice” in relation to the call to prayer, broadcast over loudspeakers at mosques in the late at night and early in the morning.

Orange, who has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years, said the problem has intensified in the last five years after new mosques were built in the nearby Beit Hanina and Shuafat both on the top of hill crests and in valleys, creating an echo that magnifies the noise.

“People have to get their rest,” he said. “We are not against Muslims, Jews or Christians. But no one should be allowed to make such a loud noise so early in the morning.”

The bill, proposing to ban religious institutions from using outdoor loudspeakers, was proposed by MK Moti Yogev (Bayit Yehudi).

Orange said the problem was particularly acute in the summer since those without air conditioning need to keep their windows open to keep their bedrooms cool, but that this obviously absorbs the noise, which can begin at around 4 in the morning.

“The noise erupts through the quiet of the morning, children wake up. It’s a terrible injustice,” he said.

Tzvika Yungreiss is another activist in Pisgat Ze’ev trying to bring an end to the nightly disturbances of the call to prayer, and like Orange, insists that there is no religious or political motivation in the demands of neighborhood residents to quieten the call to prayer.

He said he had double glazed the windows in his son’s bedroom, but the call to prayer can still be heard very loudly.

Yungreiss also said mosques use extremely powerful loudspeakers that are unnecessarily loud, and children in the neighborhood have suffered from a lack of concentration in school due to their sleep being disturbed.

He said, however, that the existing Law for the Prevention of Nuisances, which prohibits making an unreasonably loud noise is applicable to mosques and places of religious worship, and that the police could demand that mosques reduce the volume of the call to prayer under the terms of this law.

“As long as the current law is not enforced by the police, I am in favor of the new law, which would be a water-tight solution to the problem,” Yungreiss said.

In a letter to the justice minister and chair of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, MK Yousef Jabareen of the Joint List, also pointed out that the Law for the Prevention of Nuisances should be sufficient to resolve the problem…..

Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, he said the wording of the proposed law was “extremist” and said that in light of the existing law, the party views MK Yogev’s law as “a provocation” and “persecution of the Arab population.”

“The problem could also be resolved through dialogue and agreement, but all the rightwing wants to do is create a provocation,” Jabareen said.

Yogev’s office denied this claim, saying numerous efforts have been made in the past three years to deal with the issue and to have the current law enforced but that nothing had been done.

“Now the issue has been raised onto the agenda, everyone’s talking about and perhaps now they’ll be some results. If the problem is dealt with before the bill passes its third reading then great, but in the meantime the law will advance,” Yogev’s spokesman said.

He said the law could be amended in committee to apply at the most problematic times of the day, between 11 at night and 6 in the morning.

Amnon Be’eri-Sulitzeanu, co-executive director of the Abraham Fund coexistence group, said excessive noise pollution was a problem, but like Jabareen, said the existing law should be used to resolve the issue.

“Because there is already legislation in place, and it will in effect only apply to the Muslim community, it looks like this bill was designed to antagonize people,” he said.

Be’eri-Sulitzeanu said existing tensions between Jews and Arabs are already problematic and loaded enough, and it is very unwise to charge these tensions further with this dimension of religious conflict.

“Relations between Jews and Arabs in mixed areas and cities need dialogue and inclusive policies, and issues of friction cannot be solved by legislation that will hurt the fabric of relations between [different] groups,” he said.

    This issue has been simmering for a long time. I recall reading a mass of comment to a report on Muslim aural aggression in Jerusalem (and elsewhere) years ago.

    And the thing is – and this point was made in those comments, back then – that Israelis have a pretty high general tolerance for noise. The Jews of Israel like to sing, talk, argue, make music. They are *loud* (mostly happy-loud). So… if *they* are complaining, if *they* say they are being woken up by the Mohammedans’ yelling of the adhan, if *they* have just HAD ENOUGH, then… the decibel level is probably right off the charts.

      “Annoyed dog responding to the Islamic ‘Call to Prayer’ “

      • katherine says

        Nov 15, 2016 at 4:56 pm

        Pavlov’s dog I believe. Had always insisted that these prayer-calls have the insidious purpose of conditioning and regimenting humans to respond favorably to ‘the most beautiful sounds you ever heard’ – creating a subconscious acceptance of the devil we know.

        Spaced every 500 meters or so in Muslim suburbs, these horn-clusters create a terribly discordant howl of hyenas, wolves, and apes due to multi-directional zone-overlap of the over-extended sound fields.

        Obama must have been a zombie or some un-dead org to appreciate this hellish cacophony.

      It is fascinating that if the advantage is for Islam, Muslims ignore the example of Muhammad. Those morning calls used to be done by one voice, alone and up above the houses. Now loud speakers blast like a Civil Air Raid siren! I think Jews need to use Islamic reasoning against these noisy loud speakers, and remind them Muhammad didn’t do it that way.

      I spent most of last month nights and some of the days at Pisgat Zeev, in Jerusalem,
      while on a visit to Israel where I met many people I know, some I did not see for
      more than fifty years.

      There are at least three huge mosques with giant minarets at Shuaffat (ostensibly a
      refugee camp) across the valley from Pisgat Zeev.

      Every day and night the residents of Pisgat Zeev are bombarded by what purports
      to be the Islamic Muezzin call to prayer. It is not actually meant to call the Muslims
      to prayer because they would come anyway.

      Those Mueaain call are hugely amplified in order to try and interfere with the Jewish
      prayers across the valey and intimidate the Jews.

      During the Jewish High Holiday season, like the Jewish day of atonement,
      the so called Muezzin calls were apparently supplemented by some
      powerful pyrotechnics sounding like heavy machine gun and some cannon
      fire clearly meant to intimidate.

      The interesting thing about the Shuaafat “refugee camp” is that it now comprises
      of many huge multi story apparently upmarket apartment buildings, though some
      of them seem unpopulated and have may have been funded by outsiders
      probably in order to create the false impression that there are many more
      “refugees” there than actually exist.

      Israelis, “right wing extremists” included seem to be overly tolerant of the
      never ending Islamist “Palestinians” provocations and even terror attacks.

      They have a good presence of “Border Police” and police presence including
      many Druze men and quite a lot of young Israeli women securing the buses
      the light train and the business districts.

      It does not stop the “Peace Loving” Muslims from trying often to put IED’s
      (Improvised Explosive Device) in the path of the Light Rail and on the
      buses but they mostly get defused before they cause harm but last month
      one of those “Islamic Peace Activists” managed to murder an innocent
      elderly commuter at the “Givat Hatahmoshet” (Ammunition Hill) Light Rail stop
      and to murder a pursuing Israeli policeman before he was “Neutralised”.

      Surprising number of Muslim Arabs are actually employed in Jerusalem
      in many roles, from supermarket packers to even pharmacists at local
      pharmacies.

      One day early this month I took a bus trip through “occupied” Jordan
      River Valley which is largely desolate desert on the Western,
      “Palestinian” side except for one major town – Jericho, a few isolated
      Israeli settlements and a small number of small and poor “Palestinian”
      villages, which share one amazing thing in common: above
      inauspicious mosques in line with the economic strength of the
      desolate village there are fairly new disproportionately tall
      minarets, apparently financed by the same Saudi and Qatari
      interests that so generously assisted with the financing of the
      election campaigns for the election and re-election of the
      still sitting US President and the last Losing Candidate for
      election to the US Presidency.

      My visit to Israel was punctuated by a presentation including
      videos of the extent of financial support channeled towards
      funding Jihadi indoctrination (rather than education) by
      misguided European and American Governments through
      the UNRWA where education is totally controlled by the
      terrorist organisations and intended to nurture all
      “Palestinian” children as our our future Jihaddists and
      Suicide bombers.

    “The problem could also be resolved through dialogue and agreement, but all the rightwing wants to do is create a provocation,” Jabareen said.

    Translation: pay the jiziya and we might turn it down just a bit, until we turn it up again.

    When was the last time any conflict with Muslims was resolved “through dialogue and agreement?”

    You can’t reason with savages. Besides, Muhammad didn’t have loudspeakers either. Pull the plug!

    Muslims enraged. — (yet again)
    Sometime I feel pity for Muslims.

    I can hardy imagine waking up each morning stuck in a 5 (carpet kissing) prayer a day cage where the only respite from Islam’s (72 V-Gee’s) buffoon Muhammad’s hateful ideology’s and bleak bitter emptiness is flaunting insecure vanity with an endless appeal for approval to a god puppet who could absolutely care less if they live or die. No wonder Islamic texts tell of a sadistic Satan Allah who deliberately leads some Muslims astray for no other purpose but to enjoy tormenting them in hell-fire.

    There is no JOY in Islam.

        Get lost, you’re talking rubbish.

        Every word you just typed is a lie or not even a lie, it’s a spew of BS.

        We know about Islam, here at Jihadwatch. Oh, yes, we know all about it. And we despise it; we see it as perhaps the worst and cruellest and most destructive set of evil lies ever invented by wicked human beings with which to deceive and destroy themselves and others.

        As for Israel: Israel is the ancestral homeland of the House of Israel, and Jews are its indigenous people. Judea is named for the house of Yehudah, head of one of the twelve tribes. The House of Israel have reclaimed sovereignty in and over their ancestral homeland and the Mohammedan invaders and imperialists don’t like it… well they can damn well lump it, because the Jews of Israel are going to stay right where they are, on the lands of their (the Jews’) ancestors, and every time the Mohammedans attack they (Mohammedans) will get whacked.

        Jews lived in Jerusalem for millennia before Islam – the demonic Arab cult of blood and war, of rape, lies, slavery and mass-murder, which adores one thing and one thing only, brute force deployed without compunction by sadistic bullies – was ever invented.

        And don’t you *dare* to try to compare the Mohammedan female slave rag – which ‘frames’ all non-slave-rag-wearing women as there-to-be-raped – to the nun’s wimple. The very attempt to compare two things of such utterly different meaning, disgusts.

        And don’t lie to us and pretend that you ‘respect’ ‘Jesus’. You don’t respect ‘Jesus’. You respect a malevolent caricature or parody or travesty called ‘Isa’, invented by the founder/s of your vile cult; ‘Isa’ has nothing whatsoever in common with the real, historical Yehoshuah of Nazareth.

        The *real* Yehoshuah of Nazareth was born as the son of a Jewish woman, in Bethlehem of Judea; he lived in the Galilee; he celebrated Passover every year in Jerusalem – Yerushalayim, the holy city of His people; he was crucified and died and was buried; and Christians testify that he **rose from the dead**.

        Your lot smash crosses and spit on Christians and rape and rob and murder them and tell vicious lies about them. Don’t you DARE come here and whine and lie and claim that you respect Jesus better than Christians do. You DON’T. You hate Him. If he stood in front of you now you would spew insults at him and try to kill him, because He is a Jew. You hate, hate, hate the Biblical Jesus, the Jewish rabbi from Nazareth. And unless you repent, one day you will find yourself facing the divine Judge of Heaven and earth… and he will be the risen and ascended Yehoshuah, of Nazareth, and he will appear to you as a **Jewish rabbi**. And you will have to face, head on, the fact that you are a liar and that you have spent your life in thrall to absolute Evil.

          The fact that Islam encourages the use of deceit and lies to protect and further Islamic goals says it all.

          The Western principles of human rights, democracy and freedom are now severely threatened because of tolerance of the intolerable: the infiltration of a barbaric culture that beats, stones, rapes, honour kills and subjugation of women; that still conducts beheadings and the amputation of hands; and that murders apostates, among other barbaric practices. Victims are piling up under the still too pervasive political correctness and fear of being branded “racist” and “Islamophobic.” Western leaders and the leftist mainstream media have enabled extremist Islam. A grass roots movement is required to reverse this trend.

    I lived near a mosque when I worked in the Mid. East. It was a nuisance that I could not adjust to. I simply accepted it as I follow the practical, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. The trouble is with the followers of The Cult of Submission they do not follow the same principle. They want it all their way and will not accept anything less. The whole Muslim problem worldwide is only going to resolve itself by sending all and every last one of them back to the countries of their family roots whether doctors, engineers, imans, or whatever.

      I think – I hope – that Trump, as POTUS, could realign the USA away from vile Islamic Pakistan, toward India, Modi’s India. Please, all you Islamosavvy non-Muslim Indians: write to Mr Trump. Encourage him to visit India; tell him to DUMP that murderous whore Pakistan (not to mention all the other OIC entities that the US is currently entangled with, notably the Abominable House of Saud, and Turkey, and Indonesia, all of them infinitely treacherous Mohammedan quagmires) and form an alliance with India, instead.

      Here’s a happy thought: a private meeting between Mr Trump, Mr Modi, and … Benjamin Netanyahu, together with .. Mordechai Kedar and Raphael Israel, two Jews from Israel who know *all about* Islam and its jihad and its sharia and its lies and nonsense.

    According to Hadith, peaceful Muhammad had some folks, who didn’t show up for prayer, burned to death in their homes. It would appear that prayer towers have always been intended to disrupt sleep and cause “no compulsion in religion”.

    Let’s hope that our soon to be ex-President will be living where he can hear this 110db “sweetest sound” every morning at 4 AM.

    I read about a case in the USA. A Pig Farmer complained to local muslum council about the noise.
    Mosque responded by putting in BIGGER LOUD SPEAKERS!
    So, farmer installed huge amplifier and super sensitive microphones at piggy feeding trough!
    The pig eating sounds were way louder then the “Call to Prayer”.
    Muslims “decided” to compromise. Shut off their speakers!
    HA HA HA !
    Oink!

    It amazes me as to How or why Muslims think the world is suppose to convert & accept all
    the Barbaric, Demonic, Nonsense The world does not center around that Garbage Filled Quran & Sharia Law if you Morons want that stay in Syria or other 3rd world countries there will be a tipping point where people will start defending there right to take there country back & run these Cretins out & it may be soon.

    Jews living in arab countries don’t make any noise when they pray. Oh, wait, these Jews were expelled or murdered. Perhaps that is why they are so quiet.

  22. Cretius says

    Nov 15, 2016 at 11:46 am

    Yes, by all means ban the outdoor speakers. Israel is not a Muslim country. Israel makes accommodations for Muslim that are not reciprocated in most Muslim countries. This accommodation by Islam is both reasonable and required.

    Islam should get much more of the medicine it prescribes for other religions. It would then be crushed to dust quickly.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Nov 17, 2016 at 9:27 pm

      Yes.

      Muslims do not subscribe to the positive version of the principle of reciprocity – “Do as you would be done by”.

      Time for them to made acquainted with its negative version: that stern old lady, Mrs Bedonebyasyoudid.

  24. davej says

    Nov 15, 2016 at 12:37 pm

    The call to prayer is an aggressive tactic to keep their own soldiers in line and demonstrate intolerance to infidels. It is unreasonable, unpleasant and should be illegal.

    Muhammad orders the torture of a man in order to get hold of a treasure

    We learn of that in the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad, LINK: pages 511-517 (758-766 in the Arabic). The same pages also tell us that after the torture, Muhammad had the man beheaded. Later that night, or the next, Muhammad took into his private tent for consummation of “marriage” the tortured man’s widow, whose father and other male relatives, we read, Muhammad had just killed:

    Kinana b. al-Rabi’, who had the custody of the treasure of the B. al-Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew came (Tabari says “was brought”) to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the apostle [Muhammad] said to Kinana, ‘Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?’ he said Yes. The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle [Muhammad] gave orders to al-Zubayr b. al-‘Awwam, ‘Torture him until you extract what he has,’ so he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head in revenge for his brother Mahmud. [– LINK: page 515 (763-764 in the Arabic)]

    …The apostle took captives…among whom was Safiya d. Huyayy b. Akhtab who had been the wife of Kinana b. al-Rabi’ b. Abu’l-Huqayq, and two cousins of hers. The apostle chose Safiya for himself. [– LINK: page 511 (758 in the Arabic)]

    When the apostle married Safiya in Khaybar or on the way, she having been beautified and combed, and got in a fit state for the apostle by Umm Sulaym d. Milhan mother of Anas b. Malik, the apostle passed the night with her in a tent of his. Abu Ayyub, Khalid b. Zayd brother of B. al-Najjar passed the night girt with his sword, guarding the apostle and going round the tent until in the morning the apostle saw him and asked him what he meant by his action. He replied, ‘I was afraid for you with this woman for you have killed her father, her husband, and her people, and till recently she was in unbelief, so I was afraid for you on her account.’ They allege that the apostle said ‘O God, preserve Abu Ayyub as he spent the night preserving me.’
    [– LINK: page 516-517 (766 in the Arabic)]

    I was born in Bangladesh and since my birth right up until I left that country and settled in Canada, our family had to endure this call to prayer at 4:00 am in the morning.

    The noise was so loud it sounded like a pack of jackels howling…. as soon as the call to prayer blared through those loudspeakers the entire nation of feral / stray dogs would howl like a chorus.

    Just imagine what me and my family had to go through….

    My question is why do people have to be called to pray?

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 15, 2016 at 11:16 pm

      Because Islam is a collectivist creed–not only for Muslims, but for any Infidels unlucky enough to live under their heel.

      Barook, are you a life-long Infidel, or are you a Muslim apostate? Either way, I’m glad you got out of Dar-al-Islam.

    At Mohammeds time there was even no minarette!

    So if muslims use minarettes and speakers its against the way of Moahmmed.

    4am…

    “WAKE UP, INFIDELS! WE MUSLIMS NEED TO PRAY!…

    …oh, and don’t forget to ensure that we can’t hear your church bells ringing…

    …that infidel noise is so distracting and offensive!”

    What is wrong with people nowadays.

    Don’t all the mosque goers have a cell phone and can set their own alarms.

    or alarm clocks?

    How do they work out a time for other appointments,jobs appointment,gong to work medical appointments?

    What about in places where they do not have a loudspeaker call to prayer eg in places in Europe.

    Why do they to be in the face of non -muslims who want peace and quiet.

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 15, 2016 at 11:37 pm

      Because being in the face of Kuffars *is the point*. Islam is a supremacist creed–this has nothing to do with getting to the Mosque on time, and everything to do with cowing the “filthy Infidels”.

  33. katherine says

    Nov 15, 2016 at 5:23 pm

    Even Scotland Yard is too cowardly now to enforce any laws pertaining to Muslim-initiated abuse. Otherwise you could just confiscate the offending equipment for public nuisance and make their release conditional : the Saudis need to agree to the presence of a Carillon-equipped Cathedral in Riyadh ringing out Vespers – every day.

    Israel: Muslims enraged at bill to muffle early-morning Muslim call to prayer
    …………………

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Me, too.

      I encourage all our Jewish Israeli posters and lurkers to tell their politicians to pass this bill. It is a very important bit of pushback against Jihad.

  36. Stan Lee says

    Nov 15, 2016 at 11:10 pm

    The issue for Muslims is the call to prayer that has been traditional to them with no regard for non-Muslims who would also hear that call. It was expected by Muslims that others were obliged to tolerate what amounts in modernity to “noise pollution.” I would expect Muslims to know, without “the call” that prayer was conducted at a specific times each day. But, obviously, they want others to hear that they’re being summoned to prayer. It is an attitude of superiority grown into each Muslim, I suppose.
    But, I refer back to the point made earlier in this comment, they should know without all the noise, when it is time to report to their mosques. How could they not know their prayer schedule? I believe it could be done quietly and peaceably when they have nearby neighbors to consider who do not require their places of worship to summon them via the typical devices, electronic loudspeakers.
    I wonder how Muslims actually react to churches with bells in their belfries celebrating Christian holy days? In multi-cultural areas people need to be reasonable with each other, but that does require consideration and respect for all faiths equally.

      You don’t have to wonder, Stan–the Pact of Umar, which lays out dhimmitude for Christians, specifically forbids them from using church bells.

    Afew years ago I saw on some dusty Palestinian bookstand (and where – in Bethlehem!) “Mein Kampf” – in Arabic, naturally. I was enraged to see that evil book in that holy place. My Israeli friends were just smiling. Seems, little by little they get used, in fact, to anything, be it regular Kassam rockets, regular jihad murders, regular UN scolding. The old issue of early howl from minarets looks hardly the most disturbing with such a lot of the Leftist appeasers around…

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 16, 2016 at 4:39 pm

      Yes–Muslims generally hate and despise the filthy Infidels, but make an exception for *Hitler*. Very telling.

      • Cretius says

        Nov 16, 2016 at 4:56 pm

        No surprise there. Mohammedans would readily identify with Hitler and his National Socialist belief in Aryan superiority. It is the same as Islam by another name.

        Islam is a political ideology that uses its claim of being a religion to attempt to set up a parallel system of Islamic laws and courts, called Sharia, in every country that it enters. This is the action of a political ideology, not a religion. Islam’s goal is, and always has been, the establishment of Islamic totalitarianism worldwide.

        Look to Europe to see how Islamic Law creeps into the West. ‘Islamophobia’ is an artificial term, coined by Mohammedans, usually teamed with ‘racist’ designed to shut down any discussion or perception by Mohammedans of ‘criticism’ of Islam. It is a direct attack on fact based free speech and criticism based in fact.

        Any ‘religion’ that openly promotes deception and lies to protect or further it’s goals is despicable to non-believers. Unfortunately, Western leaders, politicians and leftist mainstream media are abysmally ignorant about the teachings of Islam and it’s bloody and aggressive 1,400 year history of conquest of non-Mohammedan peoples. Islam makes no compromise or accommodation to non-believers.

        Democracies are fools to not follow the same policy with Islam.

        • Cretius says

          Nov 16, 2016 at 5:10 pm

          Paul Joseph Goebbels Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany was right in one sense. If the truth about the nature of Islam, it’s teachings, and it’s goals is to be understood then it must be exposed on every possible level and non-stop. It is only when western politicians and mainstream media realise the truth will they then recognise the danger. That is the task for ALL non-Muslims. To fail is to see democracy, non-Muslim cultures and religions disappear from the Earth and a new Dark Age will descend upon up!

    Manufacture an alarm clock which awakens Muslims with the call to prayer… Of course they won’t buy it; their intent is to bother the hell out of everyone who isn’t muslim.

    Islamic call to prayer is nothing more than to inflict Islam rituals on non Muslims.

    Nov 16, 2016 at 10:41 am

    If one has a rattlesnake under their bed or in their closet, they may not know until it begins to hiss. Then it’s time to get rid of the danger.

    Israel wants to be fair, but you can’t be fair to a den of snakes. And furthermore, Israel is criticized for everything they do or don’t do.

    Not getting enough sleep will make a person, cranky to begin, and can make one susceptible to a multitude of illnesses if the lack of sleep is ongoing.
    moslims know already, without “dialogue”…dialogue just makes them feel even more superior as others are “begging’ for them to stop their evil works, and “nanner nanner boo boo, they don’t have to”..that non-moslims don’t like being awakened early by that hideous noise.

    The fact that moslims could get to their preying without the yelling over the louderspeakers, is not important. The important thing to the moslim is hurting and causing pain to the Jews, Christians and all non-moslims who hate the demonic call.

    Get rid of the snakes and you’ll not hear the hiss..

  43. Susette says

    Nov 16, 2016 at 10:56 am

    This is noise pollution. Fine, if they want it in countries with islamic theocracies, but NEVER in the free world. Why can’t muslims set their alarm clocks? On a similar note, these “prayers” are nothing but recitations from the quran, not heartfelt communication with God. And I wonder what they are reciting…inflammatory passages from the quran that perpetuate violence against the so-called “infidels”? What a brainwashing cult, no different from any cult defined as “a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist,(Islam) with members (Muslims) often living outside of conventional society (civilized countries) under the direction of a charismatic leader (dead Mohammed).”

  44. John A. Marre says

    Nov 16, 2016 at 11:02 am

    This is no surprise, since they wake up already enraged.

    They need to get more sleep. They need to find something enjoyable and worthwhile in life, besides killing infidels. They need to stop abusing their children, and teaching them to hate. They need to accept and live peacefully alongside non-believers. They need to stop believing that rape is an entitlement. They need to read something besides their book. They need to accept the findings of modern science and medicine. They need to get over their collective psychosis. They need to stop longing for their 72 virgins.

    No sign of it happening.
