Duke University Cancels Muslim Call to Prayer

[Tom Joad]

I'm no bagger, but that Muslim call to prayer sucks the big one.

It's really annoying.

If I travel to a Muslim country I realize that I'll have to hear it, but here in 'Murica shut it down.

I have to listen to that goddamned Christmas music for the entire Christmas season.

Isn't that punishment enough?

And where does it stop then? Will atheists (or Muslims) insist that steeple bells no longer be rung? Will athiests (or Christiams) require that the shofar no longer be blown?

I don't object to it on religious grounds. I object to it on noise pollution grounds. Have you heard that thing?

Jesus Christ almighty it's annoying as Hell.

If they would use something like Meatloaf's two out of three ain't bad instead, I'd be OK with it.

Not as bad as rap.

I sure as Hell don't want to hear no rap blasting from no Bell Tower either.

Bell Tower stuff is supposed to be purty.

Like maybe some good old 1980's power ballads.

Actually, when traveling in Turkey, Jordan or Morocco, it adds to the exoticism of the place (except for the pre-dawn and dawn calls). I'm not sure it adds to the exoticism of North Carolina though.

Exotic!?

It sounds like some mortally wounded animal caterwauling in some slaughterhouse cuz the dude with the bolt gun didn't make a clean shot.

They just need better gear. You know, maybe some Bose speakers or something.
