lazarus Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No different to church bells. Church bells don't normally call people to church. Church's near to me don't sound anything. ---------- Post added 12-05-2015 at 11:15 ---------- Perhaps they're not wearing a watch? This is why people were called to worship because telling the time wasn't an exact science hundreds of years ago but now everybody has a watch, the call to prayer is or should be redundant.

Does show that this is not a religious issue, but rather a cultural one and Islam is not of our culture. This is why people will disagree with it.

ronthenekred Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Church bells don't normally call people to church. Church's near to me don't sound anything. Unless on special occasions I don't think I've heard bells ringing in a long while, other than my local church in Ranmoor, which would probably take a miracle to stop. ---------- Post added 12-05-2015 at 11:24 ---------- Is it any different to Church bells ringing? Wailing 5 times a day I would say it is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donotremove Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Islam is not part of our culture, its an import. Its free to operate within the confines of our law and society, but to broadcast the call the prayer is wrong in my opinion and will cause people to resent Islam even more. I assume this is not something being called for by the majority of Muslims either, but more a tiny minority that enjoys berating the majority none Muslim population helped by do gooders who have nothing better to do. It's a none story. What is wrong with being a do gooder? Do you have a problem with people who do good? Do you do bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francypants Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Is it any different to Church bells ringing? Of course it is ................... it's awful. Even church bells can get on your nerves ............ but that wailing through a microphone is enough to send you insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming the literal term and not the actual definition. The term is interchangeable with Bleeding Heart Liberal's. A do-gooder is someone who champions a cause usually for no reason other than they want to be seen to be helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did a Quaker teacher, a Methodist preacher, a former slave, a former slaver, a ship's doctor, a businessman, an African composer, a Baron, a scholar, an outspoken widow, a lawyer and a wealthy politician have in common?

onewheeldave Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The bells sound appealing (no pun) the awful call to prayer sounds, well awful and alien To you. Personally I dislike the sound of church bells as they sound like clattery metal things being rolled down stairs. In contrast, to me, the sound of the muslim call to prayer is quite appealing and has a strong feel of 'holiness' that, to me, bells lack (I'm not a muslim, by the way). It also doesn't go on for very long, unlike the bells, which can often be clanging away for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pity this is not a trait you particularly like in a person. ---------- Post added 12-05-2015 at 12:20 ---------- As a term, 'do-gooder' is a negative, not a positive.
