The Islamic call to prayer broadcast over loudspeakers for Ramadan is causing fierce divisions in Canada, as opponents, though reviled, are fighting back. Jihad Watch provided an overview HERE. Now, Calgary’s Muslim mayor, Naheed Nenshi, has given Calgary mosques permission to break the city’s noise bylaws and broadcast the call to prayer (adhan) over loudspeakers during Ramadan. As much as its proponents compare it to church bells and call its allowance “tolerance,” the adhan is a declaration of Islamic supremacy. Broadcasting it over loudspeakers forces everyone within earshot of participating mosques to endure the noise bylaws being broken to accommodate its volume.
A similar thing happened in Mississauga, Ontario, only that city changed its bylaws to accommodate the adhan. In Calgary, Nenshi gave “permission” to break the law.
The adhan’s content:
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.
“Nenshi gives Calgary mosques permission to break noise bylaws during Ramadan,” by Dave Naylor, Western Standard, May 10, 2020:
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi has given Calgary mosques permission to break the city’s noise bylaw in its calls for people to pray during Ramadan.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. This year it runs from April 23 to May 23.
Five times a day mosques are to make a call for believers to come and pray – and Nenshi, himself a Muslim, has given the local community permission to break noise bylaws once a day by broadcasting the call over loudspeakers.
It was Calgary Muslim groups who asked Nenshi for permission to broadcast.
“Observing Ramadan is a very important time of the year, and I know Muslim Ummah are finding it difficult to commemorate this holy month without congregational prayer, breaking the fast with extended family and friends and gathering for Eid,” Nenshi wrote Muslim leaders in a May 8 letter obtained by the Western Standard.
“As an effort to spark some joy and community spirit in the Ummah, I have reached out to our Bylaw Team and have asked them to accommodate your request without infringing on the noise regulations…..

Canadians have become sheep and we all know what happens to sheep. I thought after Pierre Trudeau split the country in half and held it hostage for years they would wake up. They didn’t, they elected his clueless son. Now they are surrendering to a foreign dictate that has no other ambition than to oust the Kafir and take over the bounty of this rich country. I Immigrated from that beautiful country in 1949 Now I read about its creeping demise with tears in my eyes. Where are the brave men and their descendants who fought for freedom, not once but twice. Ah yes, they are the sheep. .
CleaningCrew says
Suddenly all those sleepy Canadians will be woken up for the fajr (dawn) prayer and they’ll say, “Wow, I had no idea there were so many mosques right here in my neighborhood!” And that might be the silver lining.
John says
Where are all the people complaining about this?
revereridesagain says
How the hell did CALGARY end up with a Muslim mayor? Obviously people there have not been paying attention, have not educated themselves about Islam beyond the PC propaganda, sucked up all the taqiyya during the campaign, and are now paying the price. I hope CleaningCrew is right and this will wake a sufficient number of them up to make a start at taking back their city. Perhaps some of them will begin to question just what the concept of the “Ummah” means?
Kim says
BOUGHT votes just like TRUDY!!! They bring them in by the loads–and first thing they do is tell WHO to vote for! No joke—theres an actual pamphlet the libs hand out to new muzlims–
and then theres the MILLION plus Fraudulent SIN cards floating around Canada!
Grace says
When Israel became a country the Palestinians told them they would out breed and out vote them and take the country back and they were right. That’s also what’s happening in Canada. They are being betrayed by their own laws. It’s a creeping j’had along with creeping sharia law and there aren’t enough Canadians left to do anything about it. .
PRCS says
Where are all the people complaining about this?
Naheed Kurban Nenshi is a Canadian politician who is the 36th mayor of Calgary, Alberta.
He was elected in the 2010 municipal election with 39% of the vote, and is the first Muslim mayor of a large North American city.
He was re-elected in 2013 with 74% of the vote.
He was again re-elected in 2017 to a third term with 51% of the vote.
Well…..
Peter35 says
Exactly. And to think, Alberta used to be regarded as ‘the Bible Belt’.
The ‘Boss’ and I spent 26 happy years there, and for us the question is why did Albertans go so crazy after we left, and with moslems, of all people! The most useless, murderous, parasitical scum the world has to offer.

Calgary is thought of as a tough-minded Western town. But we have a friend who teaches at the University of Calgary, and he has long said that this is not really the case.

Muslims voted in the last Canadian Federal election, they were told by Islamic leaders to vote Liberal and they did. They returned 10 Muslim MPs to office in the greater Toronto area, including Iqra Khalid, the woman who introduced M-103, our “hate speech” motion. When polled, 67% admitted they voted Liberal, the remaining did not want to divulge who they voted for.
Michael Copeland says
A Mayor should uphold the law. His office is not authorised to override it.
Nenshi has ” reached out to our Bylaw Team and have asked them to accommodate your request without infringing on the noise regulations…..”
The only way of not “infringing on the noise regulations” is to keep the volume level compliant with the law.
PRCS says
Which would STILL allow that awful caterwauling to happen: albeit at a lower volume.
Giving them another WIN–in their minds.
Michael Copeland says
True. It should not be treated as “Call to Prayer”: it is “Proclamation of Supremacy”.
PRCS says
And, though they’d rather it be loud–for that reason–they’ll spin it to their benefit.
Jim H says
Absolutely true! Acts of criminally that go unchallenged embolden further acts of Muslim arrogant supremacy.

Westman says
In the Doomsday Personality Cult which worships its founder 5 times a day, the prayer ritual, beginning with the adhan, becomes the equivalent of an “earworm” that embeds itself in the adherents brain.
If the Hadiths are to be believed, Muslims were burned in their homes for not attending prayers during Muhammad’s lifetime with no objection on his part. Obviously it was planned from the beginning to use multiple elements, carrot and stick, to keep adherents in line: Zakat to give the sense of contribution and ownership, death for apostacy to stop any rejection, and the prayer ritual – at the mosques – to cement obedience and hand control of the adherent’s life over to the clerics.
Now Canadians will have the privilege of an earworm being injected into their minds; eventually being able to recite the Shahada from memory and completely imitate the Muezzin.
This would be considered repetitive propaganda if carried out by a secular organization. In its effect there is no difference.
Wellington says
Quite accurate comment, Westman.

Creeping Shari’ah has been creeping for a long, long time. Tired of Islam—you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. they are coming to take us away Ha Ha.
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
Why does the article itself here note that opponents are “reviled”? Why don’t you say “smeared in the media as racists”
Have you lost your mind?
gravenimage says
Christine Douglass-Williams notes that opponents of this creeping Shari’ah are reviled–and they are. How is stating the truth ‘losing your mind’?
E T says
No, she has not lost her mind, she has paid a price for speaking out about Islam. When fighting back against the oppressive religion, one becomes a fancy dancer in order to survive. Christine Douglass-Williams is a modern day hero, a patriot, a woman of great courage.
Walter Sieruk says
In the Islamic view of this Muslim mayor Islam with its mosques rules supreme over non-Muslim society and likewise he views Muslims as better people than people who are not Muslims. So he couldn’t care less about other laws as city and township laws against “disturbing the peace.” Nor does he care if people who are aren’t Muslims are on the receiving end of an Islamic noise disturbance.
In addition this is a continuance oft the Muslim agenda of seeing how far they can push Westerners into further appeasement. All appeasement to their Islamic ways they would naturally view as weakness and terrible lack of will Westerners and all Western society.
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
I notice on Wikipedia this worthless fatass mayor doesnt have any wife and kids despite being a Muslim.
So, this is what you elected Calgary. Great job. Your “leader” is a gay, fatty, chocolate eclair-scoffing little useless whacko with a crappy haircut, he’s been in politics all his life because he has no skills to offer anyone in the real world. And he sits there pulling the strings who Jihadists who would kill him if they could figure out he’s gay (but then again he’s probably never had sex).
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
I meant “pulling the strings FOR Jihadists who would kill him”
I actually care about typos unlike lots of other people.

Naheed Nenshi says he is not gay. Do you really believe that everyone who is not married is gay? I have a lot of problems with this enabler of Islam, but this is not part of it.
YYCAlberta says
Naheed Nenshi is not gay? Tell that to his male partner.
Nenshi was voted in by ALL Muslims in Calgary voting as a block.
Several neighborhoods in northeast Calgary are becoming totally Muslim. Just visit Marlborough Mall any day of the week. They force non-Muslims out by being terrible neighbors.
Lately I have been having trouble even capitalizing the word Muslim. As if that gives muslims credibility.
I understand Calgary has one of the largest, if not THE largest, mosque in North America.
Muslim jihadists have been trained for overseas ‘activities’ at a downtown mosque at 8th Street and 8th Avenue. That fact has been published quite some time ago.
That all of this should happen to the Canadian seat of Conservatism makes me sick to my stomach.
gravenimage says
I don’t really much care if Nenshi is gay or not–although if he is, this makes him an even bigger hypocrite.
gravenimage says
And you are right about Baitun Nur Mosque in Calgary being the biggest Mosque in Canada.
Battle says
Allah is not greater. Allah is lesser for murder, rape, child molestation, kidnapping, forced conversion and forced marriage.
Wellington says
All true, Battle. Actually, Allah is just Mohammed projected outward to something that is a phantom, nothing more than Mohammed’s hand puppet. Islam ultimately is about Mohammed, not Allah. This is why calling Islam Mohammedanism is completely justified.

Canada: Calgary’s Muslim mayor gives mosques permission to “break noise bylaws” during Ramadan
…………………….
So Naheed Nenshi didn’t even bother to give them a legal waiver for the month of Ramadan–he just told his coreligionists to break the law?
Clear, Nenshi assumes he can get away with this.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
Calgary’s muslim mayor we’ll get away with whatever Canadians allow him to get away with.
That includes allowing laws to be broken – if it benefits muslims.
Rufolino says
If a mayor tells his municipality to break the law of the land, or enables people to break that law, doesn’t this disqualify him from office ? It should.
Who the hell does this guy think he is ? Above the law, obviously.
James Lincoln says
Yep.

Agreed, James. Muslims are becoming further emboldened.

The Muslim Mayor can do this because everyone else is….kaffir…..It’s all about Shariah!!!

I’m just wondering how long it will be before all of us women are forced to wear burqas in the name of corona virus protection?
A mouth nose mask won’t be deemed safe enough, and they’ll “suggest” that we follow the muslim women and wear burqas when outside, as many layers of cloth over our heads will protect others from the virus.
I’m just looking at vids with people being attacked, arrested, and turned away from places for not covering up with masks.

They wear their ghost outfits in the swimming pool at the WMCA. Unbelievable. So much for assimilation and health issues.

Would he do the same for Christians? This is their plan in action to take over with islamic political “religion” ruling the daily lives of everyone under an islamic dictatorships. Go islam or be enslaved or killed that’s the plan.
Giacomo Latta says
”difficult to commemorate this holy month without congregational prayer”
So why exactly do you need a call to congregate when it is currently illegal to congregate in a number greater than 10. Ah yes, I forgot, it is always index finger and middle finger time when it comes time to respect Canadian law.
