They are using our society's values and laws to beat us from within. I have zero interest in listening to that crap over a loudspeaker in the evenings or mornings. If I want to listen to it I will travel to Iraq or Iran.
Because we are a Christian society for hundreds of years. They are the ones populating in large numbers imposing their values on us now. If they want to have a call to prayer they can keep it in houseThe Christian world has been imposing religious things like Christmas and Easter on the general public. Why can't Muslims celebrate their beliefs in public?

Your moderate beliefs formed from first hand experiences and not dreamed up out of anti muslim FB posts will not be tolerated on S&M.Time to organize a Pastafarian sermon and apply for a bylaw exemption.
Realistically it is probably not a big deal, I'm guessing most neighborhoods where this will take place are a majority Muslim population and it will be 5 minutes in a small area even with a loud speaker. It's the principal behind it that is a slippery slope. Religion has been taken out of public schools but do they not still do prayer and celebrate Christian holidays in the Catholic school system? It's the imposition on the rights of others that is the issue.
Growing up my best friend was from Pakistan and his family was Muslim, dad was a stereotypical cab driver, mom didn't speak English but worked as a health care aid and the grandparents lived in the basement. They did not impose their beliefs on anyone and did their thing either at their place of worship or in their home. (No reason why this could not be done online as mentioned.) My friends family faced a lot of racism and were told to go back to their own country even though they were active, productive tax paying citizens.

There are some crazy radicals out there but us "natural Canadians" have our fair share of Crazy extremists, I know a couple personally and just shake my head....
They can, same as anyone can celebrate their beliefs in public. The problem is bending the law to allow Muslims special privilege that others don't enjoy.
