Muslim Call to Prayer in Regina (split from Liberal Gov't 2025 - ???)

[Brad Sallows]

It's a call to come worship, no different from church bells.

Words have very specific meanings. It isn't really disputable, which I suppose is why no-one is (so far) bothering to try to explain that it's not dogma. "Well, they're kind of the same." Sure, they're both on the total spectrum of religious expression, somewhere between beatific smile and compulsory obedience.

oh really? Here it is translated to English
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.

That is a mini sermon. I don't recall hearing any words calling me to the Anglican church down the road: just an E toned chime. There is a large difference. Just remember the camel.

Ya I don't buy the church bells equation.

To me its more along the lines of the Apostles and Nicene creeds.

But I am ok silencing church bells if it means I don't have to listen to the Muslim call to prayer too. There are lots places one can live in that environment Canada doesn't, in any way, need to be one of them.

The second, third and last sentence of that call are four words too long.
