A Call To Prayer?

 

According to LifeSiteNews: “…the Regina City Jamia Masjid mosque did a ‘sound test’ of its call ‘to prayer’ from four loudspeakers, which lasted for about three minutes. The event was dubbed a ‘historic milestone.’” There seems to be a lot of “historic milestones” occurring in Canada and the United States lately. (Regina, Toronto, Minneapolis, Dearborn, etc., etc.) If that’s want you want to call them.

The Regina Police Service (RPS) previously issued a permit “to a local faith group,” allowing them to amplify their call to prayer via a downtown, rooftop speaker. Predictably, the RPS and other local authorities are more concerned about any backlash from the blaring paean to Islam than they are about the blaring paean to Islam in a still majority Christian city.

Making things worse, Canadian federal MPs recently passed Bill C-9, ludicrously and opaquely dubbed “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime, and access to religious or cultural places).” Ironically, the bill effectively bans the public reading of parts of the Bible. But a call to Muslim prayer is apparently perfectly fine, according to the RPS and C-9.

I wonder if the powers that be would allow Toby Keith songs to be blasted across the city five times a day? The sound of dogs barking? Readings from Gad Saad’s great new book, Suicidal Empathy? Perhaps some advertisements for pork products? Who wouldn’t like to hear classics such as “Oh, I’d love to be an Oscar Meyer Wiener, that’s what I’d truly like to be, ‘cause if I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener, everyone would be in love with me!?”

In a sense, it’s not really a public call to prayer that Muslims are demanding. It is a warning. A call to arms. A call to overtake and subjugate.

A call that must not be answered. At least not in the affirmative.
