The local residents can protest all they want, but their protests are almost certain to be of no avail. The protesters will simply be dismissed as “Islamophobes” and “racists,” and that will be that.
“The mosque added that the application is only intended to ‘promote peace and harmony and not unrest of any sort, the prayer being sought is with the wider multi-faith and intended for the entire community of Harrow who have suffered during the pandemic.'”
In reality, however, the Islamic call to prayer contains several declarations of the superiority and supremacy of Islam over all other belief systems. What’s more, there is no need for it to be broadcast over loudspeakers when everyone can easily find out what time it is. No one can say, either, that loudspeakers are an integral part of the Islamic Faith and thus that their religious rights are being infringed if permission for this were denied. The call to prayer broadcast over loudspeakers is just a declaration of who are Britain’s new overlords.
“Harrow Mosque’s plan to broadcast adhan receives deluge of complaints,” 5Pillars, May 27, 2020:
A proposal to broadcast the adhan from Harrow Central Mosque in north London has been met with a deluge of complaints by local residents.
The mosque lodged a planning application with Harrow Council earlier this month so that it could broadcast the call to prayer at 6pm every Friday for a period of three months.
The proposal was part of the “Call to Prayer” campaign, orchestrated by British Heart Foundation fundraiser Rehana Choudry, which wants people of all faiths to pause and reflect on life during the coronavirus pandemic.
But the proposal has attracted hundreds of comments on the council’s website, the vast majority of them complaining about the plan on the grounds of noise, traffic and disruption. Some comments were even clearly Islamophobic in nature.
One objector said: “This is noise pollution and forcing non-Muslims to listen to something they can’t understand. This should not be approved. All religions are allowed to practice but without disruption to others.”
Another said: “It is out of character for the community. Already the area is a no-go area on Fridays due to traffic congestion in the area.”
Yet another said: “We are senior Hindu ladies. It is against our religion to hear the Muslim call to prayer. We are elderly and disturbed by this. We are very worried. This Harrow is a multicultural place. Will you also let the temples broadcast their messages? We are offended and object.”…
Another said: “This is a Christian country. A country which gives respect and freedom, to people of other faiths. Strange, the places which these people run from, once here they want to turn it into back home. I love this country. A certain community should respect it and not impose their beliefs on others. You are pushing people to their limits. By the way I’m from a Hindu/Sikh background.”
Meanwhile, Harrow Mosque has released a statement saying that the adhan application is temporary in nature and relates to the pandemic alone and that they are not seeking to secure a permanent broadcast.
The mosque added that the application is only intended to “promote peace and harmony and not unrest of any sort, the prayer being sought is with the wider multi-faith and intended for the entire community of Harrow who have suffered during the pandemic.”…

They can put the call to prayer inside their mosque but that doesn’t really interest them. They want to turn the towns and cities of the entire planet into mosques five times a day, just like in the so-called Islamic countries, thats the reality. Not only do you have to be Muslim, you have to appear Muslim. Islam invades all aspects of life. Wherever there is an Islamic community, Islam will be heard, smelled, felt … and not only for Muslims … everyone. It is intrusive and if it is not intrusive then it is not Islam.
Let’s see if we find out once, they are claiming to turn societies into theocracies. Most ask for it with a friendly face and false smiles and others who are in a hurry through terrorist attacks but the end is the same .. Theocracy.
Ask a Muslim if he would like a global caliphate ruled by a descendant of Muhammad and his honest answer will be yes. Islam is a form of government, it is theocracy.
PRCS says
1. ” Most ask for it with a friendly face and false smiles”
Smiling faces tell lies.
2. “Ask a Muslim if he would like a global caliphate ruled by a descendant of Muhammad and his honest answer will be yes. Islam is a form of government, it is theocracy.”
Yes, it is a theocracy. Muslims who know what their ‘complete way of life actually teaches know it’s a governmental system in which mosque and state are one and the same.
My two cents: rather than asking them: point that out and let them try to refute it.
Mike says
It is a basic Muslim belief that the whole world belongs to Allah. Parts of the world that are not Muslim have been stolen from Allah and they are justified in reclaiming them. They also believe that everyone is born a Muslim and when a non-Muslim converts they say they have reverted to Islam not converted.
GOLDMANN says
Mike, ??
Rufolino says
That’s quite true Mike, but Moslems ignore this fact because it is actually not about “information”.
It is about progress to Islamic supremacy and jihad by stealth. Islam is surrounding the whole issue with palliative lies in an attempt to blindfold locals to the truth.
notnolib says
The “call to terror” has an interesting English translation. Everytime you hear it in arabic, you can giggle-snort at the muslims while thinking of the English:
Our moon god has a first name,
it’s a-l-l-a-h.
Our moon god has no second name,
it’s A-L-L-A-H.
We kill kafir most every-day,
And if you ask to whom we praaaayyyyyy…….
To kill kafir is a-o-k,
says a-l-l-a-h, oy vey.
PRCS says
Funny.
Peter Buckley says
ANYONE can sign the petition to stop the construction of the Harrow mosque. Please sign it here:
https://www.change.org/p/harrow-council-object-to-grant-planning-permission
According to the organisers of the petition, “he vast number of objections is overwhelming and this petition has even made news. Let’s keep up the fantastic work in getting our voices of objections heard. Thank you. ”
Get it signed, and get it stopped.
PRCS says
“and this petition has even made news”
Hopefully a) more than just one report, b) the report(s noted that wristwatches, telephones, television, the Internet, and mobile device ‘apps’ make the unamplified adhan unnecessary, c) what the adhan actually says, and d) that the amplified version’s only purpose is to reinforce the ‘Muslim community’s’ belief that Allah and Islam reign supreme over all other gods and religions and to make sure the ‘filthy unbelievers’ hear that message.
Stinkhorn says
You have to remember that this is a planning application and petitions have pretty much zero weight. You need to object to the actual planning application on the council’s website, and cite valid planning reasons for the objection (e.g. noise pollution; increased traffice; air quality etc.)
GOLDMANN says
SIGNED ! with pleasure ??✝️
TruthSeeker says
First there were no loudspeakers during Mohammeds time. Currently there are alarms in clocks, watches, phones, apps on phones that can be used by the ‘faithful’ to remind them to pray. The whole purpose of shouting out the prayer on loudspeakers though is to stick it to everyone about their Allah
Linde Barrera says
To TruthSeeker- Very true. And a noise ordinance in any community should be respected too.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
UK: Local residents protest mosque’s plan to broadcast Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers at 6AM
Muslims need not worry about being over ruled, they are like the favorite child who can do no wrong to the political left. And we’re headed in the same direction in the U.S. too. They are the poor disadvantaged muslims who just want to live for their religion and culture that says kill unbelievers and threaten our nation(s) with annihilation.
Poor muslims. ha!
Even if islam were a peaceful religion and not a mortal threat to free society it would still be an unruly imposition for them to blast their ignorant sh*t through the air. Okay, I’m a logical/agnostic kind of thinker, but you can bet if I blasted my “ungodly” thoughts near their mosque I’d be seen as a racist-bigot-islamophobe worthy of censure or jail. But I–WE–gotta be perfectly happy to listen to a public call to their demon creed, hogwash. The leftist world has gone retarded for a retarded and violent religion.
…the application is only intended to “promote peace and harmony and not unrest of any sort…
Yes, that’s true, if you ignore 1400 years of genocidal terror for that religion’s doctrines and god!
…the prayer being sought is with the wider multi-faith and intended for the entire community of Harrow…
…well good for you and your fake concern about the “entire community,” the community that didn’t want your supremacist ideology in the first place. Give us real “concern” by treating the people of that nation with respect without rape and sharia councils that undermine indigenous law; and give concern that doesn’t include the mass rape of their kids; and give concern that doesn’t include subverting their educational system and politics and British culture to destroy their nation. We don’t want your demon-prayer, we want social responsibility where it really counts. Shut the f*ck up with your phony concern about the communities you are destroying. Your booga-booga prayers aren’t worth a nickel when your people and religion are terrorizing that nation–and world–for jihad supremacy. We know a scam when we see one. Stick that demon god up your a$$.
Diane Harvey says
“is only intended to ‘promote peace and harmony and not unrest of any sort”
Pssst, being woken from sleep, from rest, is “unrest.”
Pssst, pssst, complaints of kafirs are to be dismissed out of hand.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
… “the prayer being sought is… intended for the entire community of Harrow who have suffered during the pandemic.”
Muslims don’t care one bit about how stupid they talk to us non-muslims. Like we’re so stupid we’ll think their prayers to allah mean something good for us, a god that expressly demands without compromise our fealty for islam or our death and subjugation. My father used to say, dumb people have a tendency to think everyone else is as dumb as them. Muslims are too dumb in their malicious intent understand the idiocy of their own thoughts on the matter, they sure as hell won’t understand ours.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Oops, sorry Diane, I didn’t mean to hitch on your post. That was a mistake.
Rufolino says
Agostino, appreciated your gut-felt comments about this wretched issue. Thankou.
(I also agreed with them.)
Dawne says
Whilst Harrow is a very “diverse” London Borough, it’s 37.3% Christian, 25.3% Hindu, 12.5% Muslim, 9.3% No religion, 4.4% Jewish, 1.2% Sikh, 1.1% Buddhist. So actually a very small % of Muslims who want to disturb the sleep and lives of the rest of the community. This is Jihad in action. [disclaimer – we used to live in Pinner, next to Harrow and moved because of the deterioration of the community]
Matt Mounsey says
It says 6pm in the article, Robert.
Westman says
Just looked at the “initiative” and you are correct, it is 6PM.
The same problem exists, however. A religious house of worship, which is closed to non-believers, wishes to loudly declare its superiority over loudspeakers at a time – which it plainly states! – is not an actual prayer time (those begin at dawn move with the daylight hours). And it has the mendacity to claim this is some form of benefit to the entire community.
It is blatantly obvious that this “initiative” is designed to inject a “normalcy” of hearing adhan calls into the unbeliever’s mind in preparation for demanding a full regimen.
I’ve noticed that those Mormon temples have a guy on top who has a trumpet to his lips. I think they should insist that he plays, “Holiday For Trumpets”, at sunrise. Certainly, Muslims in the area would be edified and comforted during this difficult pandemic.

mortimer says
The leaders of the Harrow mosque are BIG liars. The Islamic call to pray is a series of WAR CRIES. The Islamic WAR CRIES are *NOT* intended to ‘promote peace and harmony and not unrest of any sort”.
WAR CRIES are always shouted BEFORE an attack. Islam is attacking the culture of all non-Islamic countries with these calls.
They may be calls to attend Islamic prayer meetings, but they are also CALLS TO JIHAD.
A Christian bell is a wordless musical chime announcing the ‘hour of prayer’ and in many places these chimes tell the hour of the day.

Cicero says
The original application to build the Harrow Central Mosque was in 2010. The application was accepted by the town planners with the strict condition that NO public call to prayer ( the Azaan ) would be allowed
Now here we are ten years later an application has been submitted to allow the Azaan to be broadcast from eight yes EIGHT loudspeakers . They are nothing if not persistent , unremitting and patient.
Luckily their lies have not succeeded in fooling the people in Harrow eg Islam means peace. We are doing it for the harmony and health of the community etcetc.
gravenimage says
Thank you for that information, Cicero. Muslims never stop trying to impose more and more Islam on us.
Cicero says
The application to have Azaan broadcast from EIGHT loudspeakers on the Harrow Central Mosque was done quietly and sneakily . Nothing was said about.
Luckily someone on the inside of the Local Governent Harrow Council alerted the community. People were encouraged to go on the website to write their objections . However in spite of lots of the public visiting the website and noting their objections to the planning application. Quick checks revealed that they were not showing up.
In the meantime the site showed the comments in favour were like 3 -1.When challenged the council officers said that the comments and emails had to be verified and there was a time lapse between that being done the objections showing on the website.
A public petition to object was then started and a lot of hard work went into combatting inertia to encourage the public to sign. With a lot of effort and input the Petition garnered 25 k plus objections. The supporters of the Azaan then started their petition and it gained 400 comments of support in 48 hours.
Many letters were written to the Chair of Interfaith Forum Harrow . She was passing the buck. It then emerged that she was being intimidated by some members of the Muslim Community as well as the Muslim Council of Great Britain
Linde Barrera says
To Cicero-Thank you for these details. Could not the petitioners who constitute the majority go above the heads of the Harrow Council local government to the next higher authority and say that this is a nationwide problem ?
FYI says
Good to hear from those “Senior Hindu ladies”:”It is against our religion to hear the muslim call to prayer”.Namaste!
It should be against Christianity,Judaism,Hindusim and… Secularism to have to listen to that triumphalist islamic caterwauling.
The koran teaches that Jews and Christians are the “WORST of created beings”
koran 98:6.
islam is a supremacist,intolerant,violent and immoral ideology with a Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal barra} against ALL non-muslims:Jews,Christians,Hindus,Buddhists,Sikhs,ex-muslims,atheists. etc
That islamic call to “prayer” is offensive:that daily Butt-in-The Air show of false piety.
The preening of the beards,strutting around like peacocks,the OCD like wudu washing.
Bend down,butt in the air:to al lah
An Arab god with ONE LEG AND TWO RIGHT HANDS.
The god that MISSED the Golden rule,the 2 chief commandments,thinks Christians are polytheists ,Mary is in the Trinity and Jesus was a muslim.
allah:the god that gets everything wrong.
Even his own anatomy.

Ade Fegan says
Let your MP know NOW that you never want to hear the call to prayer ..
before they even think about imposing it on you
Rufolino says
If, five years ago in Britain, you had said Islam was going to broadcast its “call to prayer” in an English town through loudspeakers, everyone would have laughed in your face.
It’s not quite so funny today.
Jake2169 says
The campaign continues! The superiority complex continues! The naivety of local councillors continues, or should that be fear? The demands from the “religion of peace” that wants to spread “peace and harmony” is persistent and the goal of total control take yet another step towards ambition.
The biggest mistake of all European governments was to actually recognise Islam as a religion. Even though the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary, many politicians these days want the votes and on top of that are far too concerned about their own personal safety and their jobs, to worry about others in a particular area that they claim to represent. A “religion of peace” that demands the deaths of apostates, teaches death to the Kaffir, has a misogynistic approach to females, is obsessed with killing Jews, is in never ending confrontation with many other faiths across the world is taking the piss when it claims to be peaceful! It’s about time the politicians grew backbones and admitted their mistake about Islam, it’s time for the cowards to take action before the people need to do it themselves. No amount of claims by Muslims or politicians will hide the truth, Islam is a danger, Islam is a curse on humanity, Islam has no place on this earth.

They’re idiots for allowing this total BS. They can think themselves lucky….. in LA, USA, they start at 4:30AM! Then again, why are they allowed Loudspkeakers? Mohammed didn’t have them & anyway, isn’t it “bidah”, (I think that’s the correct word), as it’s forbidden by Islamic Law to use ANYTHING modern. Simply pathetic.
