How do you force people to read it as they walk by??

But... how is it any different than any number of church bells that are regularly played throughout all cities and towns all across America.


Church bells aren't inherently religious.

The counter to this is conservatives to play Rush Limbaugh just as loud/often.

Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli states that The United States wasn't founded on the Christian religion. It was unanimously voted for by the US Senate, one generation past this nation's founding.

Am I to take their word or yours?

These can both be true.

This is simply not true. Peoples ignorance (and there is much on display in here) is not an excuse. This is NO DIFFERENT than church bells ringing. No different.

For those saying the Apostles Creed should be recited over loudspeakers, I say do it. The community should decide.

It's none of our business what gets broadcast in that community, unless someone is being harmed.

Get out of their life BIG BROTHER.

You could, I dunno, actually make your case rather than simply asserting then gasping in frustration when I don't accept said assertion.

But it is. When the church bells ring on the hour, it is not a call to prayer or a call to church. In fact the church has nothing going on and is empty most of the day.

Only if you agree that the principles this nation was founded upon are also espoused by other religions/cultures.

If that's the case there's hardly a reason to distinctly mention Christianity or the Bible when these principles are somewhat universal.

Some are universal, sure.

This is the wink wink part of this. The Founders won't say it, but clearly Christianity was a major influence on them during their lives, more so than most today.

I live less than two blocks from the Mosque (Islamic Center as it is publicly known) here in Las Colinas, If they start blasting that shite here I am taking the speakers out. I get along well with my Muslim neighbors but that shits a bridge too far.

Hell, there are places where church bells aren't allowed to chime in the US.

A bell chime reminding people that a church service is about to start is not the same as a church broadcasting that service outside it's walls.

Another reminder to the West of just how well Hijrah works.

It's worked in all its various forms - using both force and subtle patience - for almost 1400 years.

As with this current angst over the muslim call to prayer, we once had the occupant of the world's most powerful position in what is ostensibly a Western country state glowingly with the near euphoria of a whirling dervish that it was, "the most beautiful sound he had ever heard."

The bells are also not saying a prayer in itself. Below is the translation of the Muslim call to prayer.

God is Great! God is Great! God is Great! God is Great!
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
Hurry to the prayer. Hurry to the prayer.
Hurry to salvation. Hurry to salvation.
God is Great! God is Great!
There is no god except the One God.


Since the above is ok to be said over a loud speaker in a city, any Catholic or Christian prayer should be aloud to be said over loud speaker, 5 times a day as well.

Suppose they blasted death metal at the exact same times the Muslim call to prayer happens so that it gets drowned out?

I'll push to stop that when you agree to stop the ringing of those damn church bells allover the place.

Simultaneously to their broadcast, a chant of the Apostles Creed at maximum volume over and over, but it has to be done by someone who can imitate the screeching of a tortured cat as they chant.
