“A proposed ordinance before the City Council will allow mosques in Paterson to broadcast the Adhan or the Muslim call to prayer. Under the ordinance, mosques will be allowed to use loudspeakers to announce the call to prayer during a 16-hour span. The ordinance states: ‘The city shall permit ‘Adhan’, call to prayer’, ‘church bells’ and other reasonable means of announcing religious meetings to be amplified between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. for duration not to exceed five minutes.’”
Notice the ridiculous comparison to church bells. The Adhan is not merely the sound of a bell. It is the loud shouting and declaration of Islamic supremacism over infidels. Paterson residents now have to be subject to this:
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned four times.
I testify that there is no God but Allah (Ashhadu anna la ila ill Allah); intoned twice.
I testify that Mohammed is Allah’s Prophet (Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah); intoned twice.
Come to prayer (Hayya alas salah); intoned twice.
Come to security/salvation (Hayya alal falah); intoned twice.
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned twice.
There is no God but Allah (La ilah ill Allah); intoned once.
“Councilman Shahin Khalique proposed the ordinance on Tuesday night as an amendment to the existing noise control ordinance.”
“Paterson ordinance will let mosques broadcast Muslim call to prayer,” by Jayed Rahman, Paterson Times, February 19, 2020:
A proposed ordinance before the City Council will allow mosques in Paterson to broadcast the Adhan or the Muslim call to prayer.
Under the ordinance, mosques will be allowed to use loudspeakers to announce the call to prayer during a 16-hour span. The ordinance states: “The city shall permit ‘Adhan’, call to prayer’, ‘church bells’ and other reasonable means of announcing religious meetings to be amplified between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. for duration not to exceed five minutes.”
Councilman Shahin Khalique proposed the ordinance on Tuesday night as an amendment to the existing noise control ordinance.
Council members spent three minutes discussing the measure.
Paterson has approximately 30,000 Muslims. It has a dozen mosques scattered throughout the city. Presently, mosques make the call to prayer five times a day; however, the sound is not amplified outside the buildings.
Late last year, Khalique, who is up for reelection in May, promised local leaders he planned to introduce the measure modeled on an ordinance in effect in Hamtramck, Mich. At the time, Khalique said he had been in discussions with other members of the City Council to get the measure passed….

So it begins…..
DHazard says
Full on shariah is unconstitutional, but in some local areas it may be gradually implemented bit by bit, and really pick up steam if the Muslim population exceeds or nears 50%. Broadly I just don’t see Americans giving up bacon and booze, much less adopting all the hatred, male domination and sadistic justice that pervades unadulterated Islam.
Norman says
It appears that it it is being implemented and expanded.
Darwan Winkler says
Its encroaching the separation of church and state.
Plain pure and simple.

We are just letting it as if they are top priority. They will bury us. I don’t see anyone of Americans stopping this from happening. A take over even in Government. We can’t let it happen. If it does there would be no going back to our America. I feel sorry for all our children and their futures.
People need to act on this.

I totally agree.
In other areas, I urge people to put in noise ordinances to stop this assault of is lamic supremacism (the so called “call to prayer”). Grandfather in church bells that are already there and never allow the offensive adhan.
Iambob says
People, first, need to be educated and informed about the origins, history and teachings of Islam-expose it for what it really is (the doctrine of demons-religion of Satan who identifies himself as Allah in the Quran) before taking action.
Can’t defeat an enemy we know little or nothing about. Our ‘leaders’ still haven’t learned that basic, seminal lesson-which explains why we are losing this ‘war on Islamic terrorism.’
Robert Spencer has devoted his life to the completion of this task (few will undertake) and we are, forever, indebted to him for his courage, scholarship and tenacity in doing so.
The same applies to others who make literary contributions on this site. Without them (all) exposing pervasive and insidious evils committed by the followers of Islam worldwide, on a daily basis, where would we be?

Wrong… it began with President William “Liar/Murderer/Misogynist/Racist” Clinton in 1997 when he allowed both Saudi Arabia and Turkey to spend millions upon millions of dollars building mosques throughout the United States. In Culver City, California there are now public signs in Arabic and no they are not provided in English nor even Spanish. So yes… the U.S. Democratic Party = Fascist Party for it is allied with Islam just as the Fascist Parties of the early 20th Century were.
Walter Sieruk says
This shows the power of Muslim infiltration into one of the States of the USA .”By hook or by crook,bit by bit ” The stealth jihadists have and will continue their quest for the growth and dominance of Islam .
This Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism to enact Sharia law in America. This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
mortimer says
NONSENSE! Urban sprawl makes amplified loud speakers obsolete. Muslims in the United States generally do not live close enough to their mosques to be able to hear the call to prayer even if it is pumped up.
Most Muslims carry cell phones which can install a ‘call-to-prayer’ app that (with GPS) will tell Muslims when to start praying and where to park their a** so that it won’t point to Mecca.

It is getting serious – worldwide. They even announce it publicly and we let it happen…
For instance, in 2006 Gaddafi stated:
We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe — without swords, without guns, without conquest — will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.
In the US, Muslims have been able to infiltrate many universities, the precious field of education. Two years ago, one Muslim stated to me, that as soon as he holds a responsible position in an university, he will make sure that no Americans will get a job or will be accepted as a PhD student in his department. He is in this position now.
It makes me sick.

Walter Sieruk says
Such Islamic influence in New Jersey by those insidious and scheming stealth jihadist /Muslims who will by degree ,a small bit even later attempt to go further and have Sharia law set up in the whole of America, so they engage in the doctrines of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya which is very insidious. Taqyyia is the jihad dogma that deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam.
Nevertheless, the God of the Bible “condemns those who devise wicked schemes…” Proverbs 12:11. [N.I.V.] Likewise, Proverbs 12:20 teaches “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil.”
James says
They should forbid this call to prayer, plus minarettes and large numbers of other muslim practices designed to colonize America.

You are following the same path as us in Europe. In China, universities and technology centers are created while in the west mosques, madrasas… are built … what can go wrong?
With my comment I am not defending the abuses that the politics of the Chinese government exerts on the different religious communities, I only say that China is clear about the future. We are Islamized, we abandon secularism and move towards a theocratic society with the excuse of religious tolerance and multiculturalism. We are lost.
FYI says
Just remember who the islamic call to “prayer” is directed to..
{al lah the Arab is not the Biblical Judeo-Christian God}
allah :the Arab god who CURSES Christians k9:30 for believing in Jesus Christ
allah: whose greatest enemy is a MAN called MALIK AL AMLAK{“the king of kings”}
{see for yourself: Sahih Muslim vol5 hadith #5611}You know who that is!
allah: who MISSED the Golden Rule and teaches the OPPOSITE to the 2nd Chief Commandment of God{lev19:18}
“Oh ye who believe!take not the Jews and Christians for friends.They are friends to one another”
koran 5:51
allah: who says Jews and Christians are “the WORST of created being koran 98:6
allah who has a Doctrine of HATE towards all non-muslims{al walaa wal baraa{
alalh: the demonic,antiJewish,antichristian ,the diabolus Simius Dei
allah the greatest of all deceivers koran 3:54
That call to “prayer” should be made illegal:does in not represent hate?
And 5 times a day the “devout” muslims with their butt in the air show say their fatihas:
muslim “prayers” Curse and disparage Jews and Christians
al lah the god with Two Right Hands:the god that gets everything wrong.

Church bells are euphonic ,nice to listen to and quite pleasant and part of OUR culture calling folk to a God of Love and peace.
That muslim adhan is cacaphonic,hideous to listen to and quite unpleasant and part of an alien antisocial Arab-originated religious cult calling its folk to a god of Hate{al walaa wal barra} who curses Jews and Christians and a god of jihad:besides it is about islamic supremacy really…blaring from the loudspeakers.
Billy Chickens says
But…but…but Obama said it was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard! So it must be OK, right?
FYI says
@Billy Chickens
Yes.
Obama also famously said “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam”
“The future must not belong”:what an authoritarian NWO type of thing to say!
Now I don’t want to sound as if I am slandering muhammed when I tell you that muhammed was..
1]A mass-murderer of Jews{Abu Dawud 4390}
2]The owner,buyer and seller of BLACK AFRICAN slaves
{Sahih muslim 3901}
3]A self-confessed fraud{al tabari 6:111}with a 9 year old “wife” Aisha who stole from the Khaybar Jews.
What would muhammed think if he met Obama?
He’d be wondering how much he could trade him for but he would need two as in Sahih Muslim 3901 we see muhammed trading one slave for “TWO of the Blacks”[note the exchange rate}
And obama defends muhammed!
{These are islamic sources anyway so muslims cannot say this has anything to do with slander}
We must not,according to obama,slander a mass murdering,African slave trading,polygamous,child raping,self-confessed fraud of a “prophet”:”the future must not belong” to anybody who says what islamic sources say {but which muslims deny} about the “perfect” man muhammed.

These murdering rapists need to be rounded up and sent back to their countries. Preferably in a leaky boat. No muslims, no takyyiya, no jihad. They are our enemies. They have come here to destroy us and if do not see that, you are a complete fool. They are disgusting and NOT human.
Lisel Sipes says
SEND THEM BACK. They are murdering, raping, jihadists that only want to destroy the United States.
No Muzzies Here says
The purpose of the wail is to declare ownership of the area and to force non-believers to accept it, or get out, increasing the percentage of Muslims in the area.
After this goes into effect, there will be no stopping its expansion. What? you need your sleep because you have to get up to go to work to pay taxes that support your new overlords in the lifestyle to which they are accustomed? Just consider it a down payment on the Jizya, which you will pay one way or another.

That too at 3:00 or 4:00 am

Yes. Even at ungodly hours, this God needs to be supplicated.

eduardo odraude says
Check out the link above in Peacelover’s 1:42 comment. the link is a video of young woman in Brooklyn filming herself looking rather horrified to hear the call to prayer echoing through a Brooklyn neighborhood. It is indeed more tragic than most people realize. The Islamic ethos really does not belong in the US. Give me non-Muslim immigrants from anywhere, but if the Muslim population grows too large, it really is a grave threat to and subversion of liberal democratic principles. It doesn’t matter that many Muslims are not that religious. Many Muslims are, and the religious leadership is always what we consider radical, even though they often conceal it because the Muslim population is still quite small in the US.

The python’s grip tightens. Remember the illustrious words of former President Barack “the snake” Obama, when referring to the call to prayer, “One of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset.” The psychopath mohammed would have been proud of his loyal servant.
somehistory says
Well, the moslim creep got elected…and voila!..he suggested the loudspeaker broadcast of one of the ***ugliest***…if not the ugliest…noises on earth. He’s counting on getting re-elected by the many thousands of moslims in the city who like this forcing of submission on the people…whether or not they attend the “preying” meetings.
And now pressure on the other members of the council to allow it…all day long, from early morning till late at nigh…for five minutes each time.
How many seconds between each “five minutes’?
He’s also counting on the church bells being silent as the many citizens go to their jobs and not to church during the week from early until late. All of the churches in Paterson should hire someone to ring those bells all day, every day, as often as the “law” allows.
Debra says
Most of the churches have been taken over by mosques. They also took an American VFW as a “community center” where they are now advertising their “100 Year Anniversary in America” (a complete misinformation campaign). Add to this a large muslim cemetary and a new school. Infiltration complete.

When I visited Michigan in March 2019, I stayed in a hostel in Hamtramck, a suburb of Detroit. The hostel was clean, had a well appointed kitchen and living room, and had private bedrooms that shared bathrooms. But, next door was a house that must have been a mosque because at 6 am they were broadcasting their Arabic song prayers. It was very annoying and the city of Hamtramck should have issued a noise ordinance to not begin these Islamic song prayers until 8 am.

Most places I have lived also have a restriction on the size of placards or jerry-built structures. Let the imams call to prayer by telephone texting or e-mails.

A quote from Jihad Watch: “Back in 2011, Christie said: “This Sharia law business is just crap … and I’m tried of dealing with the crazies.” He was ridiculing the idea that there was any attempt to bring any aspect of Sharia into the United States.

A Gnostic Agnostic says
One can not join Islam without violating at least two of the ten commandments:
‘thou shalt not bear a false witness against thy neighbor’
…is a necessarily false testimony given: it is not possible to bear a true witness of a dead man, and
‘thou shalt not make any graven images in the heavens’
…is mandated given Muhammad is dead, thus any conception of who he was is a ‘graven image’. What follows from this is “greatest model for all of humanity for all of time” thus ridicule of Muhammad is met with bloodshed. Muhammad is thus certainly an ‘idol’ worshiped by ‘idol worshipers’.
Thus all Muhammadans are severed from any possible “Abrahamic” god – their religion is a heresy of.
Islam is the global root of Nazism/fascism/socialism: there is no distinction between a “Jew” and a “Muslim” as both are “believers” who “believe” they are in possession of the most “supreme” document on the face of the planet. Who do they accuse of “supremacism”? Everyone else that is not themselves.
It takes a “believer” to “believe” evil is good / satan is god.
Any possible all-knowing god would know the same.
