Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Canada: Mississauga amends noise bylaw to allow Islamic call to prayer

May 1, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The adhan, prayed in Arabic, repeats “Allahu akbar” (Allah is greater) six times, “I testify that there is no god but Allah” three times, and “I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s prophet” twice.

Dr. Gavin Ashenden, former chaplain to the British queen, who resigned his position in protest against a Qur’an reading in a Scottish church, observed that “the Muslim call to prayer is a dramatic piece of Islamic triumphalism. It proclaims Islam’s superiority over all other religions….”

Is Mississauga really wise to broadcast repeatedly a declaration of the superiority of Islam, a faith that directs its adherents to make war against Christians and other non-Muslims and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29)?

Is Mississauga wise to broadcast the cry “Allahu akbar,” beloved of jihad terrorists the world over? Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta wrote this in his letter to himself before carrying out his jihad mission: “When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” This is why the Fort Hood jihad killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted it as he shot thirteen Americans in November 2009, and why so many other jihadis have used it essentially as an announcement that non-Muslims are about to die.

But Bonnie Crombie doesn’t care. She is just following the crowd. Soon all of Canada and the U.S. will have the call to prayer blaring out over loudspeakers all over cities everywhere, and likely, as in Cairo, directed especially at churches during services.

“WARMINGTON: Mississauga amends noise bylaw to allow call to prayer,” by Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun, April 29, 2020 (thanks to Gary):

That just may have been a traditional call of the minaret you heard in Mississauga at sundown Wednesday.

Mississauga mosques will have similar sounds each evening during Ramadan, the Toronto Sun has learned.

Mayor Bonnie Crombie said a compromise passed by Mississauga City Council Wednesday will offer some comfort to the city’s Islamic community with Ramadan falling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mississauga’s municipal politicians voted unanimously to temporarily waive current noise bylaw restrictions “for the broadcasting of the evening call to prayer from local mosques and other non-residential buildings regularly used for worship, for the period of Ramadan . . . up to May 24, 2020.”

The adjustment allows the call to be “broadcast only once per day for a maximum of 5 minutes.” Mosques, of course, will remain closed as ordered by the province when it imposed emergency measures designed to help fight the pandemic.

“Council’s decision today to support the symbolic broadcasting of the call to prayer during Ramadan this year will provide inspiration, familiarity and comfort to our city’s Muslim community during this challenging time,” explained Crombie.

She stressed that the decision to waive the noise bylaw was not intended to act as an invitation for people to gather at mosques.

“Council was pleased to make this temporary exemption to our noise bylaw in response to a request made by the Muslim Council of Peel and mosques across Mississauga,” she added….

“Normally amplified sound would not be allowed, but at this time, any mosque requesting the call to prayer is being granted,” said Toronto spokesman Tammy Robbinson….

    Recommend that all patriotic residents of the city of Mississauga report this amplified muslim call to prayer using the following link:

    https://web.mississauga.ca/services-and-programs/home-and-yard/report-excessive-noise/

    Overwhelm them with complaints – after all, the definition of “excessive noise” is somewhat subjective, above and beyond a simple decibel reading…

      A remedy for the blasting of ‘the call to prayer’ might be the sound of Church bells at the same time. Also known as ‘The call to Christians to prayer.’ .
      I immigrated from Canada to the US several years ago. At that time Canada had a very small population compared to many other countries. Since that time immigration has eased that problem. However too many of one particular group can overwhelm the citizenry of the host country and drastically change the dynamic. As a concerned observer I see that happening t Canada. What was once an English/French problem has now become a Canadian/Muslim problem.
      Canadians can different between religion and the affairs of the provinces and Canadian law, Muslims cannot. Sharia is their life line. Sharia dominates their religion and their politics and one cannot survive without the other. In other words, if the Muslim population exceeds the natural native population of Canada, sharia will win by sheer numbers, by dominance .

      A decibel reading is scientific, rather than mere ‘opinion’.

    • mortimer says

      Question for J.Lincoln: Don’t you think noise protests by Christians will lead to a ban of church bells?

      • PRCS says

        May 2, 2020 at 10:35 am

        No doubt.

        And those ringing them will be fined for doing so in defiance of the law. The ‘special people’ have been given a pass.

      Sadly, Bonnie has sold her soul for merely $840,000. For another mil bucks, she will resell it, to adopt Sharia Law in Mississauga. This is just the beginning. More to come, until we see another Birmingham or Luton of UK, here, to continue as Mayor of Meccassauga, instead of Mississauga.

    • Rob Porter says

      May 2, 2020 at 3:50 pm

      James, thanks for this. Even if I don’t hear any noise from a mosque I intend writing to the brainless Bonnie Crombie who evidently has less IQ than a mouse, but knows what will win her Muslim votes. It was her city council that about 2 years ago gave $93,000.00 of our taxpayer money to a mosque for its security. All over the world churches and synagogues have been desecrated and destroyed by Muslims, but in half-witted Mississauga, we were supposed to believe that a mosque needs special security. When a society like that of Canada decides to believe in nothing this is what it gets, a hostile and foreign ideology to fill the void. Canada is rapidly descending into one of those countries that Donald Trump once described as “a shit-hole”.

      • mortimer says

        May 2, 2020 at 10:01 am

        There are about 100 apps Muslims can install on their cell phone to remind them to pray in the middle of the forest, the middle of the ocean or the middle of the desert.

        Amplified prayer-calls have only been available since 1945 when loudspeakers were first mass-produced. For more than 1300 years, Muslims did not have electrical amplification.

        • PRCS says

          May 2, 2020 at 10:40 am

          The goal, Mort, isn’t to call Muslims to prayer. They already know when. And if they ‘forget’, they’re reminded by other Muslims.

          It’s to make sure we hear it.

    What terrible gall those stealth jihadists have in Canada ,as well as in other Western countries ,by disturbing the peace by all their loud . Islamic noise, ,which they call “prayer.”

    Their Islamic agenda is to see just how far they can push the people of the West into further appeasement to accepting their Muslim ways. Such appeasement the stealth jihadists will only view this as weakness of Westerners .

    Therefore those Muslims who are engaging in this stealth jihad will then push further and further for still more appeasement until they achieve the Islamic goal for more power and control for their religion which is Islam.

  6. PRCS says

    May 1, 2020 at 4:19 pm

    ““Council’s decision today to support the symbolic broadcasting of the call to prayer during Ramadan this year will provide inspiration, familiarity and comfort to our city’s Muslim community during this challenging time,” explained Crombie.”

    A favor they must never repay.

    Note to City Council: It’s in The Big Book

  7. .Bridgette says

    May 1, 2020 at 5:01 pm

    The moslems picked a time to screech their horrid call to prayer when the locals, real Canadians, old stock Canadians can’t congregate or march to oppose this. If Canadians believe it’s only now, expect this to become a regular thing. Flood your MP’s and complain because this will only get worse.

      • Michel Copeland says

        May 2, 2020 at 8:20 am

        The council “voted unanimously to temporarily waive current noise bylaw restrictions”.

        When the council has more muslims on it they will vote unanimously to PERMANENTLY waive those tiresome restrictions.

        • PRCS says

          May 2, 2020 at 12:22 pm

          Pretty sure Muslims are already pressing council members for that.

          And as its stated excuse is to provide ‘comfort’–to Muslims alone–during the COVID-19 situation, which could remain an issue post Ramadan, the push for a PERMANENT waiver is sure to follow.

          BTW: there are now 8 Canadian cities whose ‘leaders’ have bought into the current excuse.

    Ring the church bells loud and clear, not only when this abomination is being broadcast “loud and clear”, but also on Fridays, during the mosque prayer services.

    If they complain, offer a compromise: We will stop ringing the church bells if you will stop broadcasting your call to prayer.

    • revereridesagain says

      May 1, 2020 at 9:19 pm

      No, don’t do that. The bells are our culture. If they don’t like that they can go the hell back where they came from and listen to their yowling 5 times a day to their hearts’ content.

    Canada: Mississauga amends noise bylaw to allow Islamic call to prayer
    …………….

    I remember when Mississauga was posited as the “All Canadian” town, backdrop to the sweet comic strip “For Better or Worse”. The wailing, supremacist Adnan was *not* part of that.

    And it’s not just Mississauga–this is being allowed in Halifax, and most troubling of all, in Canada’s greatest city, Toronto.

    Will the ravening Mohammedans want to give this up after Ramadan? I very much doubt it.

    Canada is going the way of the UK. Fast like. And for what? For Islam? Beyond stupid. Actually, criminal.

    Time for massive civil disobedience in Canada, the UK, America, France, The Netherlands, et al. Way overdue. After all, they can’t arrest everyone. A la Ben Franklin, hang together or hang separately.

    May 1, 2020 at 9:07 pm

    Mayor Crombie, you have just won my Dhimmi of the Week award. Your prize is a trip to Pakistan which will involve your being lowered via helicopter into the main square of some backwater village dressed only in your bikini just as the mosques let out from Friday prayers. Sorry if you’re late for the adhan, but expect you’ll be too “busy” to care. Don’t forget to give us all a full account of your experience when you get home. On second thought, make that “if”.

    Oh, and feel free to invite Tammy from Toronto to come along.

    Anybody believes that the call will only be broadcasted once per day eventually? I don’t.
    In my country, it is 5 times a day, plus prayers, sermons and others religious activities. And sometimes in Ramadhan month, you can hear the noise for hours continuously.

        This Muslim” Call to Prayer ” acceptance by city laws in some Canadian Cities is traumatizing to immigrant people who tried to Escape those Islamic Countries !* Where this Sharia law is Mandatory & forced onto the Citizens who live in Middle East & North African Countries. Please watch the utube video from ‘One Godless Woman ‘. Many New Canadians are Highly Offended by this being allowed by our Government !* To Help Many traditional Canadians feel better during this Virus Pandemic, then Christians should be allowed to Ring Church Bells once again,* as our Forefathers did for Centuries !*

I suspect the evil noise is coming from IONA mosque, I even recorded the noise for close to 2 minutes. Disgusting to watch how these city counselors bending over backward to satisfy the muslim by destroying bylaws at the drop of a hat.
