Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't think church bells are amplified. It's amplification that needs to be strictly controlled.

Church bells on their own can ring at 110 to 125 db depending on size of the bell.

And a lot of church bells are amplified digital bells now, cheaper than old school tuned cast brass bells.

Do church bells ring five times a day where you live? Do the church bells actually speak and demand prayer each time they ring? Do they condemn all people not Christians? Do they tell Christians to disobey the laws of this country?

This is NYC. Riverside rings a 20ton bell on the hour. If you want to apply noise ordinance to one type of church you have to apply it to all types.

As to the rest of your nonsense what the call to prayer actually says is :

Allah is Most Great (Allahu Akbar - 4 times)
I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah (Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah - 2 times)
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullah - 2 times)
Come to Prayer (Hayya ‘alas-Salah - 2 times)
Come to success (Hayya ‘alal-Falah - 2 times)
Allah is Most Great (Allahu Akbar - 2 times)
There is none worthy of worship except Allah (La ilaha ill-Allah - 1 time)

That is mostly “God is good” and “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before Me”

Your ignorance and propensity to defend this astounds me. I don’t want to hear that chit 5 times a day and I’m sure most of the people having to listen to it doesn’t either. And you defend it by bringing up what is basically a clock tower? People like you are a danger to us all and should be ridiculed relentlessly.

So you would be good with the 10 commandments being broadcast thru the streets of New York multiple times per day?

If it is within the noise ordinance volume fine. Otherwise enforce the noise ordinance evenly on both.

Eagle took issue with both the content and the noise. I addressed his lies about the content.

You didn’t address anything liar.

If Christians were blaring this kind of chit over loudspeakers 5 times a day you would go ape chit. Tell me that’s not so, liar.

If you want to apply noise ordinance to it then apply the equal standard to other churches, ie Church Bells.

If you aren’t willing to apply an equal standard what you are proposing is a 1st amendment violation.

Muslim Americans have the same rights as Christian Americans.

Are you still claiming that the call to prayer contains your lies above when I posted the translation?

Are you jibberjabbering about the content of the call for prayer, or the volume of the noise. You are going to have to make up your mind.

I corrected your lies about the content, and now you are back to the volume?

If the volume bothers you apply an equal standard noise ordinance to Muslim and Christian churches.

Somewhat off topic: So I went to vote in my state primary today. (Early voting. Woot!) The last thing on the ballot was Prop. 10: Should Texas ban Sharia Law? I, of course, voted yes. Sharia Law doesn't belong in America. It goes against the Constitution. (And if you want to talk about whether or not it belongs, you can start a thread about it. We shouldn't do that here.)

It is not Christians doing this. It is muslims and you are defending it. If it were Christians you would not be defending them. It’s really as simple as that. I’m pretty sure that the population being subjected to this chit haven’t complained about church bells ringing. So your argument is bullchit. You idiot liberals complain incessantly that Christians are ‘forcing’ their religion on you. And yet you defend this. Beyond retarded and ignorant.

I agree with this. The ordinance should be applied equally. You make a good point.

As to people preaching on the street, I don't care what religion. I don't want to hear it. Ever.

You sure about that?

https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/24/nyreg...night.html

“The controversy over a Christmas-time bell barrage from a Roman Catholic church in Manhattan escalated on Monday, after the church, which recently began an all-day bell regimen, began ringing its bells all night as well.

The bells, from the Church of Our Saviour in Murray Hill, left some neighbors bleary-eyed and prompted them to accuse the church of retaliating against them after an article in The New York Times about the dispute over the bells was published on Saturday.

“It woke us up from a dead sleep,” said Lorraine Hack, who lives across the street from the church.

In September, the church increased its bell-ringing regimen, after a new pastor, the Rev. Robert J. Robbins, arrived. For years, the church had been ringing bells twice a day, at noon and again at 6 p.m. But Father Robbins began a regimen of hourly chimes from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., consisting of the same hymn followed by a chiming of the hour.

The pastor had not responded to neighbors’ requests to scale back the bells but had made his defiance plain in church newsletters, calling neighbors’ complaints “anti-Christian.”
And so the assumption among some neighbors, after being awaked early Monday just after midnight by a round of bell-ringing, was that the new regimen of all-night bells was retaliation for their complaints to the pastor and to The Times. Neighbors said the church’s tower emitted electronic tones instead of real gongs.”

Here is an example in Memphis:

The New York incident was in 2013 and, I would hope, has since been addressed.

I love church bells (and historic "high-church" Catholic church buildings and architecture). But 1. everybody needs to play by the same noise ordinance rules and 2. I can see how very loud bells can be distracting.

I live in a high-rise condo. We are not allowed to dump our bagged debris in the building's trash shoot from between 11 a.m. and 7 a.m. (the noise can be thunderous). Since I sleep during that time, I'm thankful. But I sometimes wonder "What about the people who live in the building, have night jobs and sleep during the day?" Are they awakened by the jolting sound of garbage plummeting down the metal trash shoot?
