Meanwhile, the Muslim Socialist or Communist whatever he is Mamdani , we know he is not about American values, says NYC deserves better and he is the person to do it

If Mamdani gets elected, NYC will turn into a MUSLIM city like London and many other UK, France, German and European cities.

There are now 46 million Muslims living in Europe, most of them arrived in Europe in the past 15 years, either through immigration or fleeing their Muslim countries.

Muslims will be everywhere in NYC, call to prayer several times a day which by the way is already happening in Minnesota and other U.S. Cities.

The Islamic call to prayer, or adhan, is publicly broadcast several times a day in parts of Minnesota. In 2023, Minneapolis became the first major U.S. city to allow the adhan to be broadcast five times a day, year-round.

How the Minneapolis ordinance came to be

  • Previous restrictions: In 2020, during the holy month of Ramadan, Minneapolis first permitted the amplified call to prayer but with restrictions. After Ramadan, the city's noise ordinance limited broadcasts to certain daytime hours, which often excluded the pre-dawn and late-evening prayers.
  • Ordinance amended: The 2023 resolution was a culmination of a years-long effort led by community and religious groups to allow all five daily calls to be broadcast. The Minneapolis City Council unanimously voted to amend the city's noise ordinance to exempt sounds of religious worship, which allowed mosques to use loudspeakers for the adhan five times a day.
  • Victory for religious freedom: Proponents of the change framed it as a victory for religious freedom, stating that it places the adhan on par with the tolling of church bells and other expressions of faith.
The significance of the adhan in Minneapolis

  • Reflects community growth: Minneapolis is home to a large population of East African immigrants, particularly from Somalia. The public broadcast of the adhan was seen as a sign that the city's Muslim community is an established part of the local culture.
  • Symbol of pluralism: For many, the ability to publicly broadcast the adhan alongside other sounds of worship signifies that Muslim beliefs are welcome and respected in the city.
  • Broader trend: Minneapolis is not alone in permitting the public adhan. Other U.S. cities with growing Muslim populations, such as Hamtramck, Michigan, and Paterson, New Jersey, have also updated their local ordinances

Mayor Eric Adams is a corrupt cockroach who deserves to be in prison for taking bribes.

And how is the Muslim call to prayer any different than having a Catholic church ring their bells in the same fashion?

I don’t see the problem.

I have 2 churches within couple of miles of me and I never hear them ring their bells not even on Sunday.

Furthermore many churches nowadays are no longer in a traditional church building with a bell tower.

Many churches are in modern buildings and don't even have a bell or a bell tower.

This call to prayer is broadcast on loudspeakers 5 times a day, so loud that anyone can hear it for miles.

20+ mosques in Minneapolis, each one allowed to have a call to prayer as long as 6 minutes long, 5 times a day for a maximum of 60 minutes in a 24 hours period per mosque, beginning as early as 3:30 am and ending as late as 11 pm, with no restriction on the decibel level and what kind of loudspeakers they can or cannot use.


So with 20+ mosques doing 5 call to prayer each day at 6 minutes each, from 3:30 am to 11 pm, that's 19.5 hour which is 1,170 minutes.


5 call to prayer per day per mosque x 20 mosques is 100 call to prayer a day, 100 a day x 6 minutes each call to prayer is 600 minutes.


1,170 minutes divided by 600 minutes is 1.95 minutes.


These 20 mosques can organize and time it so folks around Minneapolis can hear a 6 minutes long call to prayer every 1.95 minutes:


every one minute and 57 seconds!!

Do you really think this is acceptable and do you really think this is the same as a church ringing their bells???


You are comparing oranges to apple and not apple to apple by saying churches ringing their bells are the same as these 100 Muslim call to prayers lasting 600 minutes each day from 20+ mosques around Minneapolis and each one can be heard for miles because there are no noise ordnance restrictions on how loud they can be.

GOOGLE:

The loudness of the Muslim call to prayer in Minneapolis depends on the specific mosque's sound system and its proximity to homes, as the city's amended noise ordinance allows mosques to broadcast the call five times a day over external loudspeakers at any time, removing previous decibel and time restrictions. The ordinance specifies that the amplified call cannot exceed 6 minutes per hour and 60 minutes in total within a 24-hour period.

What changed in Minneapolis
  • Amplified loudspeakers: The previous noise ordinance restricted the volume of outdoor religious sounds; the new ordinance allows mosques to use external loudspeakers for the call to prayer.

What the new ordinance means for volume

  • No decibel limit specified:
    Unlike previous regulations, the current ordinance does not set a maximum decibel limit for the amplified call.
  • In essence, while the call is now permitted to be loud enough for outdoor broadcast, the actual decibel level varies by mosque and depends on the sound equipment used


Time restrictions lifted: The city eliminated time constraints for amplified religious sounds, allowing the adhan to be broadcast as early as 3:30 a.m. and as late as 11:00 p.m.


City-wide application: The change applies to all 20+ mosques in Minneapolis.

Duration limits:
While there's no specific loudness limit, the calls are limited to 6 minutes per hour and a total of 60 minutes within a 24-hour period.

Mayor Adams must know that he's not going to win in NYC and he ruined his reelection bid and political career. The Democrats are against Mayor Adams for what he did within the last 12 months.

If this is a problem then I’m sure the people of Minneapolis will take it up with their own representatives. Until then it’s a matter of freedom of religion which the first amendment protects.

Just be glad they are not scientologists.
