Minneapolis Spreads the Good News Far and Wide

Funny, I don't recall the message of the Passion and Resurrection of Christ being trumpeted throughout the capital of the Land of the 'Viqueens" during Holy Week:


Minneapolis: Muslim call to prayer blasted over loudspeakers 5 times a day in U.S. first

Last Updated Apr 25th, 2020 at 4:09 pm
The Muslim call to prayer, known as the adhan, will echo from loudspeakers through parts of Minneapolis five times per day for the entirety of Ramadan in what is believed the be the first time the Islamic call has been publicly broadcast in a major U.S. city.

Al Jazeera reports:

Recited by different representatives from mosques around the city, the call to prayer is expected to reach thousands in the Cedar-Riverside neighbourhood in Minneapolis, according to Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of Minnesota's Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

The first call went out late Thursday:

Amazing how no one ever says a word about Islam. Anything involving interjecting them into anything is just fine. Breath a hint of christianity in those places and you get shut down before you finish a sentence. Read about all of the fines already during ramadan, and prior to that at their places of worship? Me neither. They have all been pretty good on who gets their rights taken away, and surely don't want to offend the muslims, ever.

Is Minneapolis, or even the entire state of Minnesota, going to become like the no-go zones in France, where the police won’t go in there unless they have reinforcements?

Agreed.

The police may, in any event, be tied up with asking for Hazmat suits. I gather that Minnesota is going to be another of those places where a premature ending of lockdown rules is imminent ?

But, I've a question on the Muslim issue there (actually, a couple). Have the Muslims there been good at observing lockdown rules, up to this point ... or, have they broken them, on religious grounds (e.g public prayer in close proximity) ? If they've broken them, have they caused a pool of infection there that hasn't been accounted for, and, still isn't, in considering the lockdown relaxation ?

To what extent is this also an issue in other parts of America, with Muslims considering the diktats of their religion over all else ? Is it a consideration nobody will address, on 'PC' grounds ?

Can't say how the Somali community is practicing their faith in the "Land of the Viqueens" (can't say Land of the Vikings, I'm a Packers fan) but I'm sure the pantywaist libs would have no problem with whatever method they demand. Down here in Georgia, it's a limit of 10 people per gathering until next weekend.

Islam is utter tyranny and contrary to our values and freedoms. All religions are essentially insane, but none moreso than the adherents of the God of Abraham, who's in fact Satan. The Founders understood this which is why the Separation Clause.
