re: Minneapolis Mosques Will Be Allowed to Blast Call to Prayer on Outdoor Loud Speakers

I'm conflicted. As a Muslim myself, I don't mind hearing the 'call to prayer' but.. why force something you know the community may be against because of their misunderstanding of Islam?

The purpose of the call to prayer is so that the Muslim community hears it and comes to pray. but this is usually confined to Muslim majority communities. What is the % of the Minneapolis community are Muslim? I am guessing not much.

I know of a southern town where the few Muslims who lived there wanted to do the Friday sermon on the campus of their local community college every single Friday, beside the dorm, since they did not have a Mosque.. They were rejected and not allowed. Till this day some of them talk about how they were "targeted"...etc.

No? You can't just go onto a college ground and start having a sermon gathering.

I am a level headed Muslim.

Instead of trying to force being accepted, maybe spread awareness about Islam, clear up the misunderstandings and misrepresentation by extremists who have hijacked it.
